HHH

If you thought curling was a strange social activity, check out Hash House Harriers.

From Wikipedia
Goals of the Hash
(From the 1938 charter of the Kuala Lumpur Hash House Harriers)
* To promote physical fitness among our members
* To get rid of weekend hangovers
* To acquire a good thirst and to satisfy it in beer
* To persuade the older members that they are not as old as they feel


(It does look like fun.)

Heh, the one you linked to is in Cambridge too!

I like how its goals are to both get rid of hangovers AND make its members thirsty enough to drink beer.
