Courtesy of the birthday boys...

This week R2D2 and Egghead celebrate their birthdays which seems to happen with remarkable regularity about the beginning of November every year, so no surprise there. They will be joined by C3P0, who joins R2D2 pretty regularly, so also no big surprise, and just to cap this series of non-surprises, the run site will be at the big sala at Napong which Egghead has used on a couple of occasions previously to celebrate his birthday.  And all the usual stuff probably applies in that there will be a beer stop and the hares are making all the usual noises about new trails and undiscovered country (in Napong... yeah!).

But there will be at least one feature of this run that no one has experienced before for which the hares claim no responsibility. It might also be worth saying that this particular feature may herald a change in one of our most popular areas that might not be to everyone's taste, so this is definitely a run not to be missed if you want to experience hashing as it has been rather than how it might end up in the future!

Details are:
Songkhla Hash House Harriers' run #1957, Saturday, November 3, 2018 4:00 p.m. (and we mean it this week!)
Hares: R2D2, Egghead and C3P0
Misdirections: From the Ko Yo intersection take the old Hatyai road for 4k and turn left at the traffic lights 300m after the PTT station, for 5.2k (at 4k, follow the road round to the right rather than going straight ahead) then turn left for 500m opposite the temple arch at Borogam to the run site opposite the big sala at 7.074533° 100.606564°. Note for motorcycle-borne hashers: the turning at 5.2k is covered in sand washed down the road by the recent rain so please be extremely careful when turning left as at least one distinguished  hasher has previously come to grief at this point!
From Hatyai the traffic lights are 13k from the Kor Hong traffic lights and the turning is on the right; or the run site can be approached via Tha Kham by going east for 5k and then turning left on the Kao Long road, then after 600m taking the right fork for about 2k through the village and turning left at the 2nd crossroads. The turn opposite Borogam is 3.2k on the right.

Sunday's HH3 run is being set by Sex Sprinter and Toy Boy. No indication yet of a run site but expect details to magically appear and be posted here later. (See comment below!)
