The boys done better!

Two remarkable things about the picture above. First of all, yesterday's HH3 run, the third in a row set by Sex Si, Sex of the Man and Sex Something or other (Ting Tong at SH3), turned out to be a million times better than expected and was in fact probably one of the best HH3 runs in living memory. Starting from the big sala behind the CP factory, the run headed left and began a fairly traditional ascent up the hill to the left side of the quarry face. But then somewhere along the line, the hares managed to head up even further until the track came out on the ridge, allowing us to run up the back of the big hill where they laid on the beer stop to beat all beer stops. Then they managed to find their way down into the valley which leads out of the hills and back onto the well-worn trail back to the runsite. The whole thing including the beer stop must have taken about an hour and a quarter, but was actually only 5.3k. The top was just under 250m from a starting point of 23m so the total ascent was probably also in the region of 250m as once we hit the top it was pretty much downhill all the way. A good circle followed at which the joint birthdays of Sex Si and Sex of the Mango (a.k.a. Short Screw) were celebrated and all the free beer donated for the occasion was drunk.
The other remarkable thing about the picture above is that the track was provided by.... Kii Leum! Move over Yardo, there's a new GPS kid on the block!
