Turkey anyone?

...well to be precise, the second annual turkey trot this year, although the literalist tendency had its way last time and called it a "relay-hare" run. The result however was an excellent afternoon's entertainment as the short and long runners combined to participate in not just hounding but haring as well.

This weekend's repeat performance will be:

Songkhla Hash House Harriers run #1644, Saturday December 8th 2012, 4:00 p.m.

Misdirections: From the Ko Yo intersection take the new Yala road for 3.4k and turn right, then follow the track as it bends round to the right, for 400 meters to the run site in the rubber on the right.

Generally the format will be the same as last time:

•  A lead-off hare will be selected by drawing lots. A bag of squared paper and the GPS programmed to show the way home will be provided to the hare. 
• The first hare will depart at about 3:45 p.m. and will set 2 checks (360's). The first will be a regular check, but at the 2nd check, she/he will hide and wait to be discovered. 
• The person doing the discovering will then take the bag of paper and the GPS and will get a 5 minute start, before the pack head off in pursuit. 
• Each succeeding hare will do the same until  the final hare brings the pack home hopefully in about 5-6k and in a little less time than the 1hr 40 mins it took last time.

To that end the following refinements are suggested:

• Only those willing and realistically able act as lead-off hare (i.e. with a knowledge of the area and a passing familiarity with the workings of a GPS) should take part in the drawing of lots to be the first hare.
• There should be no pressure on anyone to act as hare and if the person finding the preceding hare does not want to be a hare, they can pass the bag on to someone else.
• Likewise there should be nothing stopping anyone being hare more than once if they find the preceding hare, but they can also elect if they wish to pass the bag on to someone else.

But these are just suggestions, the kinks can be ironed out on the day!

Sunday's HH3 details will no doubt be made known shortly and will follow as soon as they are!
