Run 1731: So good we're gonna do it twice!

Remember run 1731? Of course you do! It was only a couple of weeks ago at Egg Towers and was followed by one of the Hash's rare (as in they only happen about twice a week) parties.
Apparently not! That it turns out was run 1729, which just goes to show that the effects of Dyslexia extend not only to directional disfunction but also to an inability to cope with large numbers!
So this week really really is:
Songkhla Hash Harriers' run #1731, Saturday, August 16th 2014: 4:30 p.m.
Hare: Beavershot
Misdirections: From the Kao Seng intersection take the old Yala road for 11.8k (about 1k past the junction with the new Yala road, but before the market at Tung Wang) and turn right. Follow the road for 2k to a crossroad and go straight across. Follow the road for a further 1.8k and turn right (on the road leading up to Kao Ron) and go about 1k to the run site on the right, helpfully depicted above.
If you are coming from Hatyai, get to the Tha Kham crossroads (7k from the Nam Noi traffic lights or 2k North of Wat Keow Kloy at the end of Poonakan) and head East towards and past the Sai Kaow Resort for about 5.2k, then turn left into the road leading to Kao Ron (big sala and statue of a  monk on the corner). At the Y junction after 500 meters bear left and follow the road for about 1k to the run site on the right.
Sunday's HH3 run will be set by Robocop and sexy friends from the really big sala behind the CP factory (old Hatyai road, 6.5k, turn right for about 1k, runsite on the right: map below for the imaginative). Bring crampons and rope - we're likely to be going up in the world!

    I want to thank Egghead for putting up these precise and detailed misdirections, for which I wasn't much help. But we must clear up the name of this hill. It's the one with temple on top and in Thai it's เขาหลง. I would transcribe that as "Khao Long", with the latter word pronounced just like the English "loan" except with a "g" at the end.

    Incidentally, Khao Long means "Lost Mountain". But please try not to get lost as the hare values his post-lay beer-drinking time.

      3rd time lucky?
      My source for 'Ron' is the old 1:50,000 map we used to use before we all got GPS's and Google Earth. I'll happily take the rap for leaving out the aspirant 'h', but their rendition is Khao Ron. Check it out or I'll bring the map along so that Brainiac can check his facts!

      Thai maps of course are notoriously awful for romanization, but if they rendered an "l" as an "r" and a final "ng" as "n", they were truly clueless. Fortunately the wat's own website gets it right: watphukhaolong.com ("phukhao" is the full form of "khao").

      You mean you trust religion against cartography? Should we be worried?

      Ah, but as Stick Insect likes to say, Buddhism doesn't ask for trust or faith. It merely points the way. Which is more than most Thai maps do!

    So when did you go so wrong with the numbering Egghead? It would have been better to just carry on with the delusion that we have done more runs than we had, and a lot less confusion. Besides, since when did reality have any place in the SH3 psyche.

      I missed out 1725 and 1730. But They were always right on the Hash Cash sheets and it fits in with the truth stretching ethic of the Online Scum.

      DId you also "redact" my reply to your linguistic comment above? I've posted it twice now and it's disappeared both times!

      No, haven't seen a trace of it. Just checked my "Comments" control panel and there's no record of it there either. Try again here if you like.

      The mysterious Head Crony?

      The GM could tell you but then he'd have to redact you.
