Hash Directions
This is an easy journey, some 15/20 minutes from the Barbican centre. You are travelling up to the top of Jack’s Hill and the Jacks Hill Community centre. NB. Please note, the Hash does not start at the Texaco petrol station, where some Hashers waited before! See this Google map reference: https://maps.app.goo.gl/qHPgs NB. PARKING!!! Please park tight along the side of the road. There is ample space. The football pitch has been enclosed and no longer available
From the Texaco petrol station, at the intersection of Barbican Road and Jack's Hill road, it is a straightforward, 5.7 km, drive to the Jack's Hill community centre.
Driving time from the Texaco is between 15 -20 minutes.
Drive up Jack's Hill road, take the sharp RIGHT ‘S’ bend after 2.6 km, at the multiple sign posts and continue on Jack's Hill road. If you miss this turn, you'll be on Sunset Avenue and will end up in Cherry Gardens!
Drive another 3.1 km you'll find the Jack's Hill community centre on your left. The road is driveable for all cars.
Hash Extras
Trail is a little over 5km. Involves a trailed downhill path. River bed route, 90% dry. All quite 'doable'. Local produce will be on sale, and hopefully honey, from the Apiculture Centre.
