A good turnout for the first independent FM run for about 3 months split about equally between the long and short runs. The short run took an hour probably due to some sparseness in the paper department. The long run seemed to be going well until the 5th F in the valley between Kao Lam and Kao Wong, which took about 10 minutes to break despite the helpful presence of the hare, who was just as confused as the hounds, eventually finding the paper about 200 meters beyond where everyone was looking. The result was that Stick Insect who had become parted from his glasses and Yardstick who stuck around to rescue him, got dropped off the back of the pack, but they still managed to more or less catch up by the end. Sex Sprinter timed it at 1hr 14mins. Overall length 6.8k or 6.2k for those who did not experience the checks.
The super moon smiled benignly on the apres run which wrapped up at just about same time as the rain, which had threatened all day, started to fall. Thanks to everyone who contributed food and to Kee Ling for the mini-eskie full of beer, all of which was consumed. Thanks to OaY for the tequila which seemed for the most part to just sit threateningly on the ground being ignored. Maybe we are learning!
