What's eating Bob?

This weeks' SH3 run is being set by... go on, guess!
Details are:
Songkhla Hash House Harriers' run #1994, Saturday, September 28, 2019, 4:30 p.m.
Hares: Not the Full Shilling,  Worm and Mai Dtem Baht
Misdirections: From the Ko Yo intersection take the old Hatyai road for 4.7k and turn left for 8k  then turn right (at Wat Keow Kloy into Poonakan Rd.) and go 5k then turn left just before Wat Tung Ngai (or if coming from the other end of Poonakan, the turning is 6k on the right just after the wat). Follow the road for about 3.2k and turn right at the hash sign for 1.2k to the run site at 6°59'20.9"N 100°32'50.7"E -  click here for Google Maps pin.

HH3's run on Sunday is being set by Nong Golf, Yeo Guan, Sound Chef and Sex Kapook from a run site about 20k west of Hatyai Airport at 6°53'33.5"N 100°14'15.3"E; click here for a Google Maps pin or follow the map below.

Finally Little Tool and Toolbox will be saying goodbye again (and they really mean it this time!) on Friday evening at Oscars Bar. Come along and help Little Tool to fly off to Qatar with a hangover. No quiz, no free food, no strippers, just good company and beer to cry into!

This weekend's runs

A picture is worth a thousand words and a good map is even more valuable... Never mind, written instructions will just have to do! Details of SH3's run this week are;
Songkhla Hash House Harriers' run #1993, Saturday September 21, 2019, 4:30 p.m.
Hares: Buk Toy and Sex Sprinter
Misdirections: From the Kao Seng intersection take the old Yala road for 16k and turn right at Wat Khun Thong then go 5k and turn left at the hash sign and follow the road/track for about 1.6k to the run site. From Hatyai, get to Tha Kham and head East for 4.3k then turn right at the hash sign.

Sunday's HH3 run is being held at Egg Towers and will be set by the Egg family in a rather belated celebration of Egghead's accession to the ranks of the academically unemployable. Anyone who missed his late appearance at HH3 two weeks ago in his finery will get another chance at a selfie with yer man in the gown but be early as the run will start at 4:00 p.m. and particularly if you want to do the short run you will need to be there on time to catch the transport to the start of the run. Egg Towers is loosely speaking as per the map below or for those who like to read their directions: from Hatyai take Kanjanawanit road towards Songkhla and turn right at the Kuan Hin traffic lights (13k from the Ko Hong intersection or 6k past the Nam Noi traffic lights). From Songkhla take the old Hatyai road for 4k and turn left at the traffic lights just  past the PTT station, then go 5.2k and turn right through the Borogam temple arch. Go ahead for 150m then bear right and go 300m keeping the temple wall on your left. At a T junction turn left and after 50m turn right. Park off the road on either side of the track.

.... not quite Groundhog Day!

I think you could say though, that the country between the new east-west road & Route 43 has been well and truly used & abused. We probably could squeeze a Full Moon run out of the area in a month or three, but we may have to let the ground fallow for a well, as well as giving the hard working local farmers a break. And a chance to pick up the rest of the shreddy!

Go back and do it again!

This week's SH3 run is from the same runsite as last week's run and features the same hare. The details are therefore:


Songkhla Hash House Harriers' run #1992, Saturday September 14, 2019, 4:30 p.m.
Hare: Yardstick
Misdirections: From Songkhla, take the old Hatyai road for 4.7k past the Ko Yor intersection, turn left and go 10.6k (i.e. 2.8k past Wat Khao Kloi and about 350m before Wat Noen Phichit). Turn left at the hash sign and proceed 2.4k to the end of the bitumen, then turn right for 250m to the runsite, the co-ordinates of which are: 6°59'55"N 100°36'17"E. Click here for a Google Maps pin.
Sunday's HH3 run is being set by Beanie and friends from the run site at 7°01'52.4"N 100°35'02.4"E: From the Tha Kham crossroads head south for about 1.2k and turn left or from Wat Keow Kloy head north for about 700m and turn right. Follow the road for about 600m to the run site on the right. Map below.

Full moon September

This month's full moon run happens tomorrow, Thursday September 14th 2019 at 7:00 p.m. The hare is Jing Reed, a.k.a. Not the Full Shilling and the run site is just past Wat Keow Kloy.
Misdirections: From Songkhla take the old Hatyai road for 4.7k and turn left for 8.7k, then turn right just after the CPAC facility to the runsite in the rubber at 7°01'05.8"N 100°34'57.6"E. From Hatyai, get to Tha Kham and head south for 2.7k then turn right etc.
Usual stuff applies: bring a hand/head light if you intend to run and some food to share if you think you will be hungry. Full moon special brew will be on sale at 40 Baht a can but if you want to bring your own beer and share it with your mates, that's ok.

The road to....

Nowhere?

Apparently not! Whereas this inviting looking road used to just "peter" out into nothing, recent developments have changed it into the highway to hash heaven, which is what your Saturday hare...(s...watch this space) will be exploring this week. Details are:

Songkhla Hash House Harriers' run #1991, Saturday September 7, 2019, 4:30 p.m.
Hare: Yardstick
Misdirections: From Songkhla, take the old Hatyai road for 4.7k past the Ko Yor intersection, turn left and go 10.6k (i.e. 2.8k past Wat Khao Kloi and about 350m before Wat Noen Phichit). Turn left at the hash sign and proceed 2.4k to the end of the bitumen, then turn right for 250m to the runsite, the co-ordinates of which are: 6°59'55"N 100°36'17"E, or if you prefer: N6.9986° E100.6047°, or click here for a Google Maps pin.
Sunday's HH3 run is being set by Sex Printer and heavy (or light) friends. The runsite is the one from which GG got stung, which seems to identify it in most people's minds, but in case you want something more scientific: 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 3.6k then turn right at Wat Prutoh and follow the road for 1.4k to the runsite on the left. Map below. BUT (and it's a big but!) if you are planning on coming from the PSU end of Poonakan, don't forget that the PSU graduation ceremony is taking place at the convention center with a long name so it would be best to avoid the bottom end of Poonakan around 4 p.m. and bear in mind that there may also be some other road closures around that time affecting Kanjanawanit (old Hatyai) road as the princess makes her way home after the ceremony.

Finally, don't forget that there is a quiz night this Friday (6th September) at Oscar Bar with Bob, a.k.a. Not the Full Shilling, making his debut as quiz master. The SH3 team will be trying to repair the damage done to their Teflon image last time round when the Baldies, not to put too fine a point on it, creamed, wiped the floor, stuffed and/or roundly beat them depending on your taste in euphemisms. The quiz should start at around 8:00 p.m. with Mein host and hostess Little Tool and Toolbox enlivening what could be their last quiz with snacks and appetizers, reasonably priced beer and the sheer magnitude of their massive personalities! What more do you need?
