Memory Lane

Here's a rather antiquated view of the entrance to Saturday's SH3 runsite neatly edited to hide the fact that the Street View image still shows the new Yala road as a two-lane road without a central divide. That has all changed of course and the NYR is now firmly divided although for anyone approaching from the southern direction, there is a U turn about 100m before the turning... just saying. Otherwise the closest U turn is about 1.4k beyond the turning into the runsite.
Full details are:
Songkhla Hash House Harriers' run #1983, Saturday July 13, 2019, 4:30 p.m.
Hares: Egghead and Harram
Misdirections: From the Ko Yo intersection take the new Yala road for 4.2k and turn left at  7.100799°N 100.597290°E. After 30m, take the rough track going straight ahead (i.e., don't follow the main track to the left) for about 150m to the run site. From Hatyai, get to the Ko Yo Intersection via either the new or old road then go under the overpass and take the first U turn  just after Bangkok Bank then come back to the turning into the NYR. Alternatively, on the old road, take the right turn at the Kuan Hin traffic lights just before the PTT station and after 4k go straight ahead as the road bends to the right. Follow the road for a further 1.5 k until it hits the NYR and turn left. The runsite entrance is about 2k down on the opposite side of the road - your choice of which U turn to use!

No tidings yet of the HH3 run this Sunday or of a possible full moon run next week. With the full moon actually falling on Wednesday (17th July) the second of two consecutive holidays so maybe Tuesday, 16th would be a good idea? Kai Jeow is standing by to be the hare! Watch this space!

The Hatyai H3 directions for Sunday seem to again involve the Tungnai-Prutoh road: From Poonakan, turn at Wat Tungnai (5k from Wat Keow Kloy on the right, 6k from the other end on the left) and go 2.8k to the runsite on the right at 7.029176° N 100.545478°E. Alternatively, get to the Nam Noi traffic lights and turn left (from Songkhla - right from Hatyai) and go 3.6 k then turn right at Wat Prutoh and follow the road for 1.4k to the runsite on the left. The Hares are Beanie, Sound Chef, 48 and Mrs Bean. Map below.
