Siam Sunday H3 #584

If you can believe it, BaL and I decided to do a short hike in the morning which originally was 8 Kms, but ended up being 11 kms. OK, no worries, its all good. Arriving at the run site a couple hours early gave us the opportunity to rehydrate and grab a snack before the hash.

Hash time rolls around, hares describe it as what should be a fun trail, and it was. Starting with a shuttle out to the start point, we were treated to a B to A extravaganza. Plenty of zigging and zagging through jungle patches, Klong paths, dirt tracks, and other misc. options, the pack ventured on. While off on what turned out to be a false trail, I ended up returning to the check to find that the entire pack had moved on. Had to pretty much figure things out for myself the rest of the way. Most of the checks were marked properly, but at least one was marked the wrong way, and several checks were not marked at all. So what was something between 9-11 Kms, turned into a 14 km trail for me, when all was said and done. I was not the DFL mind you, I actually came in about mid pack. Others unfortunately had to struggle their way in as well. It really was a most excellent trail, well done to the hares.

With the hike and the hash trail, it was a solid 25 kms day under the mid-day sun in Bangkok. Glorious, very happy how the day turned out. Oh, and it was also my 100th hash trail in Thailand. Whatever.Read more
