Herewith, just in case Jim doesn't do a proper one, an exceptionally quick and nasty map to Sunday's runsite. HH3 regulars will recognize this as the site of a rather painful run by Robocop last month. Sunday's hare will try to make it a little more enjoyable. Without fear of overselling it, I think I can safely say it's a run not quite like any other we've ever done.
From Songkhla, take the Old Hatyai Rd. to 150m before the Nam Noi traffic lights. Turn right into the small dirt road between Nam Noi School and Nam Noi Wat. Go about 1.2km to the runsite on the left.
If that rather steep and deeply rutted road frightens your car (it frightens mine), then you can just turn right at the traffic light and take the main Nam Noi road for about 1km, to the little triangle of market stalls in the middle of the road. Turn right into the small lane along the right side of the wat. Go a couple hundred meters, keeping straight where the road turns to dirt, and you'll see the runsite immediately on your right.
Alternatively (am I sounding like Egghead yet?) you could take the New Hatyai Road from Songkhla, turning left just after R2D2 Tower and the hill. Wind your way down that road for a few km till you see the aforesaid triangle stalls, then turn left as per above.
SUNDAY NOON UPDATE: Well sometime between Friday and last night, someone graded the little road up to the site, so it's now safe even for toy cars like mine. I also noted that it's more like 300m before the Nam Noi traffic lights (if coming from Songkhla), immediately after the school.
