Kowloon H3 #2831

We ventured to the western side of the island for a run with the second oldest hash club in Hong Kong. Keeping with the ever present theme, trail wasted little time in finding elevation. Not once, not twice, but three hills, each getting bigger as we moved forward. In the end, we had climbed nearly 600 meters on this 7 km trail (and I am not even sure what trauma my Garmin watch went through, as it seemed to head out to sea at about 4 k).

There were about 30 hashers on hand, and while it did not rain, it was a very humid evening. The first few Ks were city streets, but then it turned up along a mountain road and eventually passed through a recently torn down housing area, where the trail got dark and a bit slippery due to the torn up ground. We all made it down eventually, and had a bit to stretch our legs into the finish. After a bit of socializing, we moved over to the après for dinner of delightful Chinese dishes, followed by circle. Down downs were issued in large bowls, and a couple hashers serenaded a young lady for all diners to enjoy. A great evening on the hash.Read more
