Nasca Lines revealed as early attempt at Hash-mapping

Saturday's runsite; The big tree appears as a splodge in the upper right corner, with the big tree-Kun Tong road running diagonally down towards the lower left corner. The actual runsite is represented as a spiral centered on its most probable location. Any similarity to a monkey is purely coincidental.
Professor Yardo and his amiable sidekick R2D2 have been at it again this week and as well as this creditable attempt at a map, they have provided the following details of this week's SH3 run.
Songkhla Hash House Harriers run #1732, Saturday 8th November 2014, 4:00 p.m.
Hares: Yardstick and R2D2
Misdirections: From the Kao Seng intersection take the old Yala road for 16k then turn right for 2.7k, then left, just after the arch across the road, for 0.9k  to the runsite at the end of the concrete.
If you are coming from Hatyai, take a  right turn at the Nam Noi traffic lights for about 13.5k, to Sai Kao village, then go straight ahead, passing the big tree on your left and go a further 0.8k before turning right just before the arch.

Sunday's HH3 run will be set by Sex Sprinter and the run site will be in Th. Prutoh Tungnai, which is the road connecting Wat Prutoh and Th Punnakan. From Songkhla, take the OHR and turn left at the Nam Noi traffic lights then go 3.5k and turn right after Wat Prutoh, then follow the road until you see the run site.

Finally, a big thank you to everyone who came to the full moon run and made the party afterwards such a happy event - mainly by bringing so much beer that it just couldn't fail! Thanks also to Temporary Relief for additional alcohol smuggled in in the form of a delicious birthday cake. If you missed it spend the next year being nice to her and she might make one for you!

  1. Not to nitpick or anything, but when you say "new Yala road" I guess you mean "old Yala road"?

    1. I reckon the monkey threw him off.

      Could be a bit blustery this weekend, esp' Sunday. A rather angry looking storm seems to be edging its way into the Gulf. Can't beat running in, and drinking in, the rain. However, d'you know where I can buy some crampons for the 'sneakers' in case it goes all typhoonified?

    2. Yup! Corrected above as well as by e mail. Also, please note the change in directions for HH3 on Sunday as the hares have moved the run.
