Pattaya Jungle Harriettes #2

In a joint celebration with the Pattaya Jungle H3 #551, the ladies have established themselves to reign supreme for total harriettes organized run. They organized their first run 6 months ago, and plan to do again every 6 months.

Today we had two trails, one for the walkers at about 5 kms . . . and a 10 Km trail for the runners. The runner's trail reminded me of all the primary reasons I love to hash. That is . . . I LOVE THE TRAIL more than anything else, and the trail today was absolutely fantastic. No pavement, all shiggy tracks through the jungle, palm trees, and pineapple fields. Trail included a few water crossings, and was so good. At one point for about 10 minutes, I was all by myself as I faded back towards the back of the main pack. It was quiet and peaceful, hardly a sound coming from any direction, felt like nirvana.

Back at the finish, we all had the opportunity to rehydrate before dinner was served, followed by the circle. The circle includes a raffle of various donated items, including hash haberdashery, alcohol, and other things big and small. (I managed to win a nice bottle of Scotch.) This is how the keep the prices down for the wide array of offerings they provide at their biweekly trails. Normally they run on Saturday, but moved to Sunday this weekend to accommodate the 20th Anniversary of the Pattaya Monkey H3 yesterday.

If you love shiggy trails, then make sure to visit Pattaya if you ever come to Thailand. You will not be disappointed.Read more
