With the support and many good wishes from hashers of the Vienna H3, Travelling Hashburg H3, Colorado, and even Micronesia - not to forget the special blessing and prayer for good weather from Vindo Boner's xxRA Richard Kopf - the inaugural run from the L.amA.H3 - Lech am Arlberg Hash House Harriers - took place 6th July 2006 at a moderate altitude of 1450 m above sea level. As supporting hasher we welcomed THE global hasher Likk'mm from Switzerland in our humble group of 10 almost only virgin hashers.

The run was hared by me - out of necessity the Grand Mattress of L.amA.H3 - and lead to over 1770 m above sea level alongside the meadows of Lech and Oberlech, that usually are the home of thousands of skiers during winter time. While busy with checking and hiking (no way that anyone could actually run the steep path ;-) we encountered no major down-down-worthy incidents, as men from the mountains are tired and do not sin.

While on the way up-up we came across an enormous lilac species of animal that has been thoroughly inspected by some curious hashers. After being found unperilous and not capable of delivering refreshment the ambitious group of hashers continued their strenuous way still up-up to a well deserved drink-stop on a terrace with excellent panoramic view on the magnificant mountains of the Arlberg. On this terrace we have been welcomed by Just Doris and tiny little "footprint" socks on a string. After taking
the hospitable lady with us, we continued our way down-down-down... finally *gasp*

My attempt of being a good hare was well-meant but I failed tragically.. it was way too long. So we cut the run short before it dropped dark and we gathered for the circle. The circle was conducted by our guest Likk'mm and very well received by the L.amA.H3s; and my favourite words of that day "next time...." have repeatedly been heard.

For the on-in we chose a very typical and traditional restaurant in "Walser"-style. Luckily Likk'mm found enough space - only - when seated. The night ended in immoderate carousing as taught to me by my mother hash VH3.

For your entertainment please find photos taken by our hash flash... who else but.. Likk'mm
