Our metaphysical advisor writes:

In an instant everything can change, your runsite can be rearranged. Change can be slow that one day the false trails you start to know. Sometimes changes are done in stages; like the big defiant tree now absent of many leaves. Progress marches on, yet the fools of SH3 call "on on."

SH3 communications, Post-Egghead

The classic "Dungbeetle Goes on Holiday" issue of the Scum, April 2006. Just one of the countless historical treasures you'll find at our OneDrive link.

After some discussion among the mismanagement, er no, publishing board, no, the Cronies, we’ve decided to keep this blog going despite the fact that almost nobody comes here anymore. One reason is to give us a permanent record of all runsites*. It’s also possible that old hashers may try to re-establish contact by coming here. So as much as possible I’ll try to continue re-posting misdirections here every week, and reply if anyone has a question.

Most of us these days get our SH3 run info via either the mailing list (if you’re not on it just contact Eightball: dave [dot] kohyoh [at sign] gmail [dot] com) or else Facebook (Songkhla Hash House Harriers SH3). There’s also a very active Messenger group, which you can join even without being on Facebook.

But until Blogspot kicks us off, we’ll leave this site up. There’s a huge amount of amusing old material here, from rehashes and GPS trails to photos and plenty of great comments. Most of the content came from Egghead, and I at least almost always smile when I read it.

If that’s not enough nostalgia for you, check out our archive of scanned SH3 artifacts, from the very start in 1981 to the last issues of The Scum (the original printed one) in the mid-2000s. Egghead, Yardstick and I finished the scanning work only a couple weeks ago, which in retrospect feels very lucky indeed. You'll find it here: https://1drv [dot] ms/f/s!Ane2JCUNbOQ-iF42EAIG3Zza41qo

*And so here for the record are the misdirections for last Saturday, 25 July 2020. Don’t go there this week!

Hare:   Yardstick
Misdirections:  Songkhla Hash House Harriers' run #2031  
From Ko Yor intersection, take the Old Hatyai Road for 4.7km and turn left for 10.6km. Turn left at the hash sign (about 350m before Wat Noen Phichit), and staying right, go 3.8km before turning left for 200m to the runsite.
From Hatyai, proceed to Wat Khao Kloi and head south towards Noen Phichit for 2.8km  before turning left, etc.

RIP Mick

Egghead

We have lost a beloved friend with the loss of Mick Currie (aka Egghead), who was tragically hit by a car last night and died from his injuries early this morning. His burial will take place according to Muslim tradition at his residence (Egghead Towers) today, at 1pm this afternoon. Please stay posted in case there is some change to the time.
Our heartfelt condolences go out to Saa, Kitty & Kor for this tragic loss.

The SH3 run will be cancelled today.

Not that Lek and Jim!

This Lek and Jim:

Contrary to what seemed to be announced at last week's SH3 circle, this week's run is being set by that Jim and Lek, not Sex Sprinter and Buk Toy, and the run site is in Bhudhan Valley as illustrated.

Details are:
Songkhla Hash House Harriers' run #2030, Saturday, July 18, 2020, 4:30 p.m.
Hares: Dor Yair, Dor Yoi and Rubber Doll  
Misdirections: From The Ko Yo intersection take the old Hatyai road for 4.7 km and turn left for 8 km, then right (at Wat Keow Kloy onto Poonakan) for 6.2 km and turn left at the sign into Bhudan valley then follow signs/paper to the run site at  N 7.000817° E 100.530421°. Click here for Google Maps' pin. If coming from the other end of Poonakan, Bhudan valley is 4.8 km on the right.

Sunday's HH3 run is being set by Moo Sahb and Kai Jeow and is from opposite the big sala in the road opposite Ban Borogam on the land next to the lake at N 7.073825° E 100.606368°.  Click here for Google Maps' pin. Or: From the Ko Yo intersection take the old Hatyai road for 4 km and turn left at the traffic lights just after the PTT station. Follow the road for 5.2 km (including bearing sharp right after 4 km) and turn left opposite the temple arch for Wat Borogam. Go 700 m then turn right at the big sala and go down the ramp towards the lake. From Hatyai, the turning off of the old (Kanjanawanit) road is about 13 km from the Kor Hong traffic lights or about 6 km from the Nam Noi traffic lights and on the right. Map below.

But before all that there will be a hash-inspired get-together at the beer garden at the top of Kanjanawanit Soi 37, just past Songkhla's Lotus-Tesco on the left at N 7.156970° E 100.602758° (click here for Google Maps' pin) on Friday evening (July 17). The beer garden has everything a hasher needs: reasonably priced beer, beautiful serving wenches, handsome men (ok, some of them are not that handsome) excellent food and great live music from about 9:00 p.m. with the highlight being around 11:00 p.m. when Thailand's answer to Coldplay will deliver their usual stunning set. Aim to be there for the start of the music or earlier if you want to eat without Egghead pinching your french fries!
