Just another wonderful weekend

Saturday's runs above: 1704 long in blue: 5.25k, max. height: 166m, total ascent 223m; the short run in green was about 4.8k as was full moon 107 in red. The full moon pack must have been one of the biggest we have managed since the inception of HFMH3 back in 2004. The official count is awaited but it seemed like there were 40-50 people on the trail, not including the auxiliary hares who removed about a kilometer of paper, but whose efforts were thwarted by the fortunate presence of the real hare, who even managed to guide the FRB's up the remnants of F3. No times available but none of the runs could have involved the pack in running for over an hour, excepting Stick Insect, whose directional sense let him down again as he hit the road just above the resort on the full moon run, but then opted to search for home in the direction of Wat Keow Kloy. Derrrr....
A splendid weekend's fun topped off by yesterday's clamber over the quarry behind the CPF factory. Full marks to the hares for some inspired paper laying at the bottom of the hill allowing the location of the in trail to be established during the search for paper at the first check, thus ensuring that when we came off the hill, we knew exactly where we were going. This do not however prevent Beavershot disappearing off the radar for half an hour in an abortive effort to locate paper a kilometer or so down the road away from the run site. Perhaps Sticky's directional failures are contagious!
