The trail markers you are likley to come across when hashing with Capital are shown below.
Many styles abound globally, and some may be in direct opposition to these. So when travelling, ensure you discuss with the hares what their marks mean before the run so you do not get hopelessly lost.
Index
HHH The start of the run is here. Also the finish unless the run is specified as an "A2B" or point to point trail
HC^ Trail Marker - Follow me. Can also be shredded paper in wooded areas or chalk arrows
O Check - Find the trail anywhere to 100 metres from me
OX BackCheck - Go back up to 100 metres and check. The trail deviates.
The "X" is usually inside the "O".
FRB's hate this if the hare puts them at the top of hills.
X, FT or T False trail from a check - Go back and start checkin again.
Also a good one for recidivist FRBs.
HH Hash Halt - wait for the pack to re-group. Can also act as a check.
PS P1ss Stop - A way to make GeeString run
HP Hash Play - Usually found at a playground. Compulsory to at least have a swing
HV Hash View - Look around and enjoy the view.
Wait for the pack and then check for trail.
OH, ON HOME or HOME
Go back to where you started the trail
(or continue to "B" point in an "A2B" run.
Sign of a well set run is where the whole pack reaches the PS within 5 mins of each other.
