The 1833 Unfortunate

Unfortunately a bit tame; the original added a couple kms and over twice the height, but despite hacking away for over two hours, had to shelve the mountain due to impenetrable jungle and rampant jasper attacks. Long run was around 5.5k and up to 110m. The short run cut out the gully and hilly bit.

EggHeads the pack...

... up the chocolate river.

Not the perfect run (but we're working on it!)

7.4k without,8.4k with all the F's and the single X, HH3's run today (who knows what number it was?) was ecstatically received by Vaseline but greeted with the usual faint praise by the rest of the cogniscenti. Both the short and long runs tackled the 92m hill and the long run managed a total ascent of 175m. The short runners seemed to put in more effort with most arriving after the long run which was completed in about 1 hour 5 minutes. But last home was definitely Beaver, aka Sex Focus who missed the last F and ended up doing 2k of road running. The circle followed slowly and the apres may still be going on for all I know as no one seemed to be in a hurry to leave except the hare who went home to lick his wounds and plan his next assault on the perfect run.

Saved!

How appropriate! Our generous Nerd is offering a prize to whoever was able to save an image of our 200000th hit and here it is! And the prize? A chance to save the latest poor young soul misled into selling her body at the den of iniquity which shall not be named. Bring it on! Beaver

Almost totally screwed

Saturday's SH3 run details are:
Songkhla Hash House Harriers' run #1833, Saturday July 30, 2016; 4:30 p.m.
Hares: Short Screw (and Screw Loose, we hope!)
Misdirections: From the Kao Seng intersection go 8.2k along the Old Yala road; do a U turn and come back 1.1k, then turn left into Soi 11 for 600m to the run site at the end of the track. From the Hat Yai direction: from the Ang Thong junction (Old/New Yala roads) go 3.6k north along the Old Yala road (towards Songkhla, for the disoriented) before turning left at the hash sign at Soi 11. Early arrivals should try to park along the track just to the left of the 'fun' site.
HH3 on Sunday (July 31) is being set by the blue blob on the graphic, probably with the Borogam mafia in tow. The run site is in the road heading up Kao Long: From Hatyai (as it's an HH3 run!) Get to the Tha Kham crossroads and head East towards Sai Kao for 5.4k. Turn left at the hash sign near the half built temple arch and go 600m then take the left fork for a further 1k to the run site on the right. From Songkhla, the quickest route is from the old Yala road on the road that goes past Wat Kao Lam (right at 11.8k from the Kao Seng intersection, or 1k South of the Ang Thong Junction of the new and old Yala roads). Follow the road for about 4k including across 2 crossroads and as it bends gracefully through 2 villages, then at the junction with the Kao Long road turn right for 1k to the run site on the right.
Before all that, on Friday (29 July) there is a quiz night at the Office Bar,when, in a display of true European unity to put us feeble-minded Brits to shame, French Eric will deliver a quiz written by Carsten (Denmark are in the EU aren't they?) The slaughter begins at 8:00 p.m. and a "full strength" Hash team will take on all comers including the half strength hash team who have won the last three quizzes. Be there or miss it!

Assorted 2016 snaps

Just cleaning out the hard drive . . .

Vicious vermin

From yesterday's hash. How could the lovely little Fufu have given birth to such a pack of nasty yapping vermin-like offspring?

1832: The wrong side of the old Yala road

For our third outing this year on the wrong side of the tracks, the venue was slightly south and east of our previous two ventures into flatland so the ground covered was almost entirely virgin. The long run without all the Fs and Xs was measured by Mr. Garmin as 10k, or 7,7k if you ran intelligently and waited for the hare to break the checks. The total ascent was estimated as being well below 100m with the hill that separated the long and short runs being only 52m according to Mr. Garmin's friend, Google Earth, The short run was 4.4k and reached the beer stop at about the same time as the long run, and a number of putative short runners carried on and did the rest of the long run, as the beer-stop truck was full of dogs. Everybody who did got their feet wet, which the hare(s) blamed on God; Short Screw complained about being attacked by dogs, which is palindromically significant; but then it wouldn't have happened had he been on paper. Meanwhile, serial short cutter, Sex Sprinter pissed off early but was not on the ice list for short cutting  anyway, as he had had no idea where he was, so stuck to the paper.
The GM was notable (again) by her absence, soThrobbin' Hood stepped up and ran a rowdy circle, which celebrated Yardstick's birthday, as well as awarding Short Screw his 150 run T-shirt (17 years? - has he really only been to so few runs?) and allowed the assembled throng to insult the hares for their efforts.

Trying to please

Saturday's SH3 run details are:
Songkhla Hash House Harriers' run #1832, Saturday, July 23, 2016, 4:30 p.m.
Hares Egghead, Only a Yolk, Peppered Pussy plus assorted kids and dogs.
Misdirections: From the Kao Seng intersection take the Old Yala road for 9.5k and turn left. Go 1k to a crossroads then go straight ahead for another 1.2k to the run site at the end of the hardtop road by the lake. From Hatyai (or anywhere around Ko Yo), head for the Ang Thong junction of the new and old Yala roads and go North (towards Songkhla) for 1.2k then turn right for 2.2k.
Sunday's HH3 hare is Sex Printer and the runsite is at the big sala behind the CP factory on the old Hatyai road (6.5k from the Ko Yo intersection do a U turn after the CP factory, come back 100m and turn left for 1k before the CP factory. If coming from Hatyai it's about 11k from the Ko Hong traffic lights, then turn left just before the CP factory).

Full Moon Braii.

This month's full moon run details are:
Hatyai Full Moon Hash House Harriers' run#129, Wednesday July 20th, 7:00 p.m.
Hares: Ape Shit and Sex Teacher
Misdirections: From the Ko Yo intersection take the old Hatyai road for 4k and turn left for 5.2k (follow the road as it bends to the right at 4k, don't go straight ahead) and turn left opposite the Borogam temple arch. for 500m to the runsite on the left.

Braii? Ok, ok, BBQ. But they're Saffers!
So the general idea is that there'll be the usual run followed by a BBQ at the runsite to which everybody can bring what they fancy eating (and a little extra to share with their friends) which can then be cooked on site. Beer will be on sale as usual at 40 Baht a can/bottle but if you want to bring your own then that's fine. Oh, and don't forget a hand/head light if you intend to run.
