Jolly Roger H3
Shiggy
Meter
(Adopted October 19th,
2011

Level 1:
In-town trail over streets, sidewalks, stairs, city parks, etc.
Level 2:
Urban, with some off-road, but no significant mud or water.
Level 3: Some ready-made paths but also some trailblazing through wooded
areas and maybe some splashing through shallow water or mud.
Level 4: Mostly wooded trailblazing and/or swamp or water crossings that
could be as high as an average guy's waist. Swamp can range from murky black
water to shoe-sucking, knee-high mud. Could include crawling through dense
or thorny underbrush and obstacles such as fences, walls, mud, muck and
possible hazards such as oyster shells and trash.
Level 5: Anything goes. Could include dense underbrush, briars/thorns,
obstacles, shoe-sucking thigh-high mud, and water possibly above one's head.
In Level-5 shiggy, you should have a trail buddy with you at all times.
In addition to these levels, the hares
should also identify whether the trail is stroller and/or dog friendly, if you
will get your feet wet and if work arounds will be available or feasible.
This meter was used during the Inter-America Hash 2011
and has since been adopted as the standard for the Jolly Roger H3.
