hash 717 - Ndroq Castle

Reminders

Reminder 1 We leave at 11:30 AM from Archea Bar aka France98 (behind pizza Kolonat). There are no hash fees, it's free for all, BUT - bring your own water, food, and other drinks. We will supply beer and bulk water (no small water bottles)

Reminder 2: If you invite newbies (hash "virgins") to come to the hash, it is YOUR responsibility to make sure they are familiar with hash procedures and that they understand the trail markings. The easiest way to do this is to have them read our notes on common sense hashing posted on this website. You should also stay with them to make sure they don't get lost!

Post-hash reminder If you upload pictures from the hash to the internet, please use your common sense to judge whether the people appearing on those pictures would object to having them published. Let's not make the paparazzis' job easier.

Start: 18 Oct 2008 - 11:00

HARES: Gladiator and Twin Towers

WHERE: Ndroq Castle, about 11 km west of the cemetery on Rruge Kavaje. Take Rruge Kavaje (old Durres highway) west out of Tirana toward Durres. After passing the old cemetery, cross the bridge across the Erzeni, pass the Peza turnoff, and look for a car wash with orange coverings on the right. We will assemble in that area.

DESCRIPTION: Ndroq Castle was part of Skanderbeg's system of signalization where several castles, including Petrella, Kruje, and Preza would send messages to one another through smoke or fires (no, they didn't have cell phones then). Lots of trails through rolling hills and small villages. Great views of the Tirana valley and the Adriatic. Some thorns, some steep slippery slopes. Generally kid- and dog-friendly.

AFTER-HASH ACTIVITY: Join party-hashers at the Lux Bar (behind the Opera) at 9:00 PM
