Hi...I have just landed in Riyadh, working at King Faisal Hospital. I believe I have read that there is a hash running group that heads off from near here into the desert- I am very interested in joining this but having trouble finding a contact. Any help would be appreciated...thanks v much :-)

James

Thanks for making me feel old! I had to look hash running up on Google to find out what it was. I thought you were talking about smuggling hashish!!!   :lol:

Guess that's how I got the nickname Jurassic Jimmy.

Hi Wendy,

I believe that @iamthere was referring to the "hashish smugglers" not about the less harmless variety of hash runners.  :lol:

Cheers,

Nope, I was trying to contact them through their Facebook page.The metawah shut down both the American Community of Riyadh. If you Pm me though I can give you another method of contacting the right people.

hi, I'm a new arrival in Riyadh, from UK. I'm working at King Faisal Specialist Hospital... I would be grateful to hear more about the Riyadh Hash and how to join. A dear old friend was one of the original 9 founder members of the original Hash House Harriers in Singapore in the 1930's... and I have been looking forward to an opportunity to join a group myself.
Thanks, Joe

I know this is old, but, Y'all, when I saw the post title I was like 'Hell naw!  The Saudi Gov is probably peeping on you now.  They don't have a secret 'codes' list for this stuff?!".  Ha, y'all made my night.   :lol:

Yes please. I lost contact with them. I was attending several times back then. I even gave them my email.
So please advice us if you do have some information. Thank you! :)

None of the hash groups have a public meeting point anymore, that stopped exactly a 54 weeks ago.

Too many pervs cruising up and down the street at the eye hospital caused problems. Your only option is now to be sponsored by a full member.

Yes, the desert trekkers (HHH) still meet, qualifications are expats only (verification required) with a sponsor, a sense of proper behavior, H20, and good boots.  No couch potatoes.

GGDev

so how do i qualify and who is the first point of contact to start 'verification'?

embojo

Hi is the hash still active? Coul someone give me contact details?
Thanks, Joe

Hello SoT
do you have a HHH contact?

Priscilla

@ albertdom :

I am not sure that you will receive feedback here since this thread is old.

I would advise you to create your own thread in the Riyadh forum.

Thanks,

Priscilla
