A new era has dawned in SH3's development as a user-friendly hash. No more messy misdirections which are usually wrong anyway; no more attempts at badly drawn, out-of-scale maps. No, from now on directions to the run site will be in glorious Technicolor and will illustrate the area in which we will be running, or walking, or eating som tum... whatever.
So that's it then. Nothing more to be said ... except where the f*** is it! The Swiss Alps? The Rockies? Mount Fuji? Nope! It's Wat Kaow Keow.
Time was when Wat KK got almost as much hash attention as our other oft-used but much-loved site in the area, Prem's Place. But lately it seems to have fallen out of favor, so Saturday's visit is a timely reminder that we don't always need to travel to the next Ampur to find good countryside.
So that's it then, see you there!
No? Still here?
Ok! Ok!
SH3 run #1549, Saturday February 12th 2011: 4:00 p.m
Hares: R2D2 and Palm Job
Misdirections: from the Kao Saeng intersection take the Hatyai road for 3.4k and turn left for 700 meters to the run site on the left.
And while we're about it: HH3 will be in the next Ampur on Sunday so we can all get our road-trip rocks off getting out to Hatyai. The run site is in Th. Poonakan about half a kilometer up from the slaughter house. If you're coming from Songkhla and don't like all those traffic lights, from the Kao Saeng intersection, take the old Hatyai road for 4.6k and turn right then follow the road for 8k and turn right at Wat Kaow Kloy, then follow Poonakan for about 7.5k to the run site on the right.
P.S. Rumor has it we may be reBeavered this weekend as long as the border dispute doesn't escalate to the point where innocent civilians become stigmatized as enemy spies. Although, come to think of it, Beaver has been spending a lot of time in Cam... Ooops! That nearly let the cat out of the bag; or the beaver out of the lodge.
Trouble, it's my middle name. And believe me, between Cambodia and Cairo, I've had my paws full!

ReplyDeleteWow two in a month,and now its 3! I was just thinking (it does happen) my first run in Singapore saw the National Parks wardens stopping the hash going into a park area, my last run saw the army or civil defence force driving the hare away after he laid the trail through an urban warfare centre (to be fair, if you do run through a area ringed by a fence and barbed wire this is to be expected! and they did let him go after they found out what he was doing) but most of the runs in between were good, despite limited terrain, good people too. Kept me sane!!
