Experienced hashers and hares, Betty
Crocker and Cotton Head set a long but smooth trail through farm land, starting from and ending at Wynter's, a family and amusement
park, and including Archie's Cave. It was quiet at Wynter's on Emancipation Day,
almost just us few hashers. Starting
at 600 feet above sea level, we descended to as low as 440 feet and up to
840 feet along undulating farm-trails and dirt roads, in total 4.8 miles or 7.8
km, a perfect trail for runners. Check the trail on
Google Earth.
The area is full of almost any produce that Jamaica
has to offer - certainly banana, coconut and
(H)ackee as well as breadfruit,
jackfruit, naseberry, almond, cashew, pineapple, yam, coco, cassava, pumpkin,
curry goat on the hoof and mango. The sweet smell of rotten Mango followed us all the way, some
perfectly edible tempted hashers to commit praedial larceny.
