1300th birthday run!

No, don't worry, you haven't been asleep for 1200 years, nor has Sex Sprinter been over-optimistically printing T shirts again, but Saturday's SH3 run is a birthday run and it is also a 1300th run, though the two people who are celebrating these happy occasions  are not the same. The birthday boy is Yardstick who is also one of the hares and the 1300th run is that of Stick Insect who may or may not actually be fit enough to run it although he will definitely be in attendance.
Details are:
Songkhla Hash House Harriers' run #1933, Saturday, July 21st 2018, 4:30 p.m.
Hares: Yardstick and All Black.
Misdirections (per the hare) If coming from Songkhla, proceed to the traffic lights at Ang Thong (NYR / OYR intersection). From the traffic lights proceed south on the Old Yala Road (OYR) for 8.3kms then turn right. (19.1kms from Samrong Junction).
Note: New concrete culverts have been built alongside the OYR near the turnoff, and it can be difficult to discern which road to take. In the photo a motorbike is exiting the road you need to take. If traffic is heavy on OYR it would be more prudent to do a “U” turn past the mosque and come back and find the correct turnoff.
From OYR, proceed 2.7kms along the concrete road through the village following hash signs, then turn right and proceed for 500m to the runsite.  (7° 00.627'N 100° 38.582'E)
If coming from Hatyai, proceed along the New Chana Road for 20.6kms from the overpass on the Sadao road, or 7.8kms from the Phichit Road junction. Turn left at the Hash sign for 2.8kms along the concrete road, then turn left and proceed for 500m to the runsite.
Note: From Hatyai it would be a better option to take the Chana Road, either via the Khlong Wa intersection (overpass), or Ban Phichit, and avoid going through Chanong village.

Sunday's HH3 run is being set by Sex Kapook and his mates who set the run 3 weeks ago which resulted in your humble scribe cracking his ribs. But we'll forgive them (as they weren't responsible anyway!) and let them have another go. At the time of writing the run site has not been announced so will be added later.

  1. IN case anyone isn't aware, today's HH3 run is at the community center behind the CP factory on the old Hatyai road. From Ko Yo Intersection, 6.6k, U turn, come back 100 meters turn left go 1k. Run site on the right in the car park behind the center.
