Brighton Hash Harriers History
The Brighton H7 (a.k.a. Brighton & Hove, Horsham & Haywards Heath H3, or BH7) was founded by Robin ‘Robo’ Salter on 5 Jun 1978 and had previously hashed in Pakistan with the Islamabad H3. In the early days he was assisted by Pete Eastwood, Pete Beard, Phil Mutton, and Nick Cheney. It was originally called the Sussex Vale H3 named after the ordnance survey map covering the run area.
Early Days of Brighton Hash House Harriers
The first Brighton Hash run set off from the Devil’s Dyke pub on the South Downs. In the early years, a distinctive Brighton Hash running vest was produced: a white base with a black stripe, the hash name, and the trademark feet emblem in white. (Photo: Peter (whose Shout) Beard wearing the vest).
First English Hash House Harriers
Looking back to Mother England, the first Hash House Harrier club to form was the Longmoor H3, founded by Richard ‘Mountain Rescue’ McAllister on 12 May 1969. More information about English hash history can be found here: ItS-UK.pdf
