Silence is.....a pain in the ass!

Ok, so... fabulous trails, a modest hill, no nanny hares; what more could you ask? And that was just the short run!
And don't say, make it shorter - the GPS that never lies confirms that compared to Dung Beetle's epic on Saturday (9k+), this was a mere jog in the park - 6.4k plus or minus a kilo or so for the possible short cuts  (of which there were few) and the F's 'n X's ( of which there were many adequate).
Harumph! Faint condemnation  I can stand, but silence hurts! I mean, surely it wasn't that bad?
(FTR: long run all in 8.05k, max height, 292m, total ascent 347m; first runner reportedly in in about 1hr 20min.. Short run 3.2k, max height 140m, first walker in in 1 hr or thereabouts)

  1. So how do you expect to hear about your run if you piss off before we even do it? But yes, everyone agreed that it was great (even Stick Insect said so, more than once). Any run where Short Screw and Robocop come in last has to be considered a triumph.

    But you really do need to get that GPS calibrated. Jim reckons we ran a good 9km.

  2. Indeed. I'm surprised I actually made it back!

    We queried this last time out, in the other direction, when it seemed more like 8-10k. A bit of the ole Songkhla/Hat Yai/Bermuda triangle, innit.

    Anyway, nice scenery, when I could muster the energy to pull my chin out of my chest. :o

  3. Great run. No nanny haring. Nice to do a Hat Yai run with "real" checks.
    Definitely felt better after the run than before.
