Finally...

The 30 barrier was well and truly broken at yesterday's SH3 run and it looked as if we might get to 40 as well, but that target eluded us although there were more than 40 at the Full Moon run which followed. More importantly we had 6 new runners, 3 of whom enjoyed the experience enough to stick around for the FM run with another 3 newbies turning up for that.

The runs were... interesting, with the short runners reporting some varied terrain and the long run featuring the F from hell from which Egghead and Palm Job managed to find the FM paper so arriving home somewhat sooner than the rest of the pack who persevered at the top of the hill and eventually found the real trail. The FM run itself split the biggish pack into two groups with the front runners reporting good trails and a pleasant run, while the strugglers at the back lead by Jumbo and swept along by Buk Toy found the going tough and the paper hard to follow.

Back at the run site there was an early panic about the sufficiency of the beer which was duly supplemented from the SH3 remnants, but then it didn't all get drunk anyway as the card-school apparently needed their wits about them to ensure that they didn't get taken to the cleaners by Short Time who was on a streak. Last to bed was Palm Job who was all for carrying on with the party at 4 a.m. but was ordered into his tent by Sex Printer. Meanwhile the farangs all ducked the camping bit and snuck off, Conebrain being the last to leave around midnight.
