    Bangkok H3 #2524

    August 15 in Thailand ⋅ ☁️ 30 °C

    We are enjoying more of the rainy season, especially for this hash trail. Traffic was not to bad, so arrived at the start a little early . . . but enough time to see a couple rain squalls pass over the area. Soon enough, a pack of 20 hashers formed up in anticipation of this logistical endeavor. My leg is back to about "80% ok" after the motoscooter incident on Wednesday, so was able to run fairly well again. We started on the Chao Phraya River, and the plan was for us to board a ferry over to the nearby island of Ko Kret. As we chugged our way down river, another squall passed over and set the stage for what the rest of the day would be like. RAIN!!

    Making port on Ko Kret, we had been instructed to turn right and follow the trail . . . but there was no trail, so we kept going, and going, and going. Finally, about 1.5 kms out, we started seeing some paper here and there. Other things we had been briefed on, were at least 8 checks (of which we saw none due to the rain, and possibly the rapid clean up crew of inhabitants on the island). There was also tell of a small farmyard with many large black swans (those bastards can be vicious when they want to be), and an 8 foot wall that needed to be surmounted, which we did, and various other shiggy related obstacles.

    Between the walkers and runners navigating the rain soaked trail, the pack got spread out pretty good as we each searched our way through various pathways, eventually ending up at another port, where we took a second ferry over to the eastern side of the river followed by about 500 meters of trail to yet another port, where we took the final ferry back over to the run site on the western side of the river.

    Circle was inundated with numerous funny stories of who ran where, and various other tales. We welcomed 2 visitors, praised the hare for not only an entertaining trail, but also for stepping up last minute to set trail when the scheduled hare had to bow out. All in a good day's fun on the hash.    Read more

    Bangkok Thursday H3 #532

    August 13 in Thailand ⋅ ☁️ 29 °C

    It was a fine evening for a hash, but I was recovering from getting hit by a scooter yesterday so only walked about half the trail. It was Foreskin Posse's first shot at haring in Bangkok, so good to see him stepping up. Trail was in an area that I have scouted and set trails in several times, and FP actually used about 1/3 of my last trail in the area as part of his trail. All good, it was a different start point, so most probably did not even notice.Read more

    Bangkok Harriettes #2276

    August 12 in Thailand ⋅ ☁️ 30 °C

    Just your average day here in Bangkok during the rainy season. Trail starts at 1730, but at 1500, while the hare is setting trail . . . it starts to pour down hard. Fast forward to 1730, it has stopped raining, but the trail is in question. Off we go in search of . . . and for the first 1-2 kms all is well, but then it starts to get hinky. The pack is running all over, and finding little trail for their efforts.

    At this point, I have done the Star Trek motto . . . boldly going where no one has gone before . . . and just running around in hope of finding something. Well, after the trail fade at 2 kms, I have ranged my way back around until I run into 4x2 coming in the opposite direction. He tells me there are no marks back where he came from, so I turn around and head in another direction. Well, getting back to the main road, I am at a cross walk waiting for the traffic to die down, and when it does, I start crossing. I see two motoscooters coming along, and they are crossing behind me, so as I get to the middle of the street I look left for oncoming traffic to finish the cross. Just as I do that, WHAM . . . I get smacked on my right side by a motoscooter. He was not going too fast, so the Bastard must have just pulled out from a side street, and ran right into me. I was shocked more than injured . . . so hobbled on across the street to get out of traffic . . . then the little MF just takes off. I was not seriously injured, and went on to run a couple kms more just to loosen it up . . . but I guess I’ll have a nice charlie horse and a bruise in the morning.

    The rest of the trail was insignificant, I ran around for a bit and then turned back to the start. As fate would have it, in circle . . . they all made fun of the fact that I was almost killed in the streets of Bangkok, but since I was still alive, I deserved the TITS OF THE WEEK award. Thanks a lot, NOT. 😊

    After that, it was off to dinner and more good times. Now back home, I have showered up and poured my self a tall Whiskey and Cola to deaden the pain. We’ll see how it looks in the morning. I am just so happy I have lived through all these close calls and come out none the worse from each. Thanks you Torch Bennett for looking over me on trail. On On.    Read more

    Chiang Mai H3 #1651

    August 10 in Thailand ⋅ 🌧 29 °C

    Making our way back to Bangkok after the Lanna Hash, and stopped over for a run with the CH3 here in Chiang Mai. It was stated it was going to be about 7 kms, but turned out to only be 5. Easy day, short but hilly, and all dirt tracks on a mountain bike course. Very nice run.

    Circle was a hoot, plenty of charges to laugh about (and several trips to the ice). Stopped for dinner of Pizza on the way back to town, followed by a few drinks on the ville. Off to the airport soon.    Read more

    Lanna Bush H3 #62

    August 8 in Thailand ⋅ 🌧 26 °C

    What an adventure . . . after an early morning flight to Chiang Mai, we proceeded on in a rental car for over 8 hours to drive up to the Burmese Border for a fun filled weekend of extreme hashing. This was no ordinary 8 hour drive though. If you have ever driven the Road to Hana on Maui, this was all of that times 5. A thousand twists and turns to make your stomach roll over, and over, and over. It had been raining off and on for days, and one of the bridges along the way had actually been partially washed out, so we had a 2 hour delay while the road crew dumped a few truck loads of dirt in to fill in the seam.

    We arrived in the late afternoon on Friday, in time to get settled and wait for the next rain storm to start. We then drove another 30 minutes into town for dinner and drinks. It rained all night . . . so we anticipated a sloppy trail on Saturday. After a night of drinks, we rallied on Saturday morning for 4 hours of slipping and sliding through the jungles of northern Thailand. The pictures don’t tell the whole story, as I only took pictures when it was not pouring down rain. It was a lot of fun, but lots of killer hills, and testing fate in the hopes of not falling down multiple times (some did, I was lucky).

    Trail was set up in three phases; first phase was 8-10 kms depending on how many checks you had to break, second phase was about the same, and third phase was only about 5 kms and less hilly. We had about a dozen hashers on phase 1 & 2, but most of us had had enough by that point, and only 4 of us continued on to do phase 3. For the first two, I clocked up 17 kms, others landed between 15.5 and 20 kms. Those that did all three topped out at over 25 kms. We were all soaked with sweat and rain over 4 plus hours of fun.

    After a long hot shower and some dry clothes, we tapped the kegs and pulled out the ice for circle. Over the next several hours we had a raucous circle, a fabulous dinner, and more circle. I only made it to 2100 and had to crash, waking up in the middle of the night for a trip to the wizzer, I could still hear a few hard core hashers singing and laughing as late as 0300 Sunday morning. Oh to be young again.

    Sunday was a reverse repeat of Friday’s highway adventure, but we came back a slightly less curvy route, but still stomach turning. Now back in Chiang Mai resting, ready for a hash trail with the CH3 tomorrow afternoon. Life is full of grand adventures.    Read more

    Bangkok Harriettes #2275

    August 5 in Thailand ⋅ 🌧 28 °C

    What a day. Less than an hour before the start, like clockwork, it started to pour. On the bright side, about 15 min before pack away, it stopped. That led to a series of events that made for a hilarious hash trail. Marked in paper and chalk, we anticipated spotty marks. In fact, the first 1500 meters there were no marks at all. We finally started seeing paper after that, so made the effort much easier.

    At the 3 km mark, we came to a T, and there was a faded arrow pointing to the right, and everyone in front of me was going right. We thought it was just faded due to the rain, as we continued to see arrows and paper (you starting to think this was a point of deviation?). Well, we continued south on these marks for 2 more kms, the marks were slightly faded, but still clear. In one gap between marks, I figured we are 5 kms out we crossed a bridge and were still headed away, so I turned left and headed to the next bridge where I anticipated the trail would be headed back. I was correct, found a mark on the stairs entering the sidewalk to the bridge. Marks became spotty again, but there was some paper in a few poles over the next km, until the arrows started up again.

    At 6.5 kms, the trail turned left, and the arrows pointed back under the bridge along the khlong . . . so cool. The trail started heading east, but since the trail was only supposed to be 5-6 kms, why are we heading away from the finish again? The marks were solid at this point, and it looped around for another 2+ kms and back finally to the finish. This is when the discussion and laughing began. We were informed by the hare, that her trail was a standard loop, everything we found for 3+ kms in the middle (the yellow circle on the map) was not her trail. Turns out, as best we could figure, it was another trail from a few weeks ago. How had all these arrows and paper survived that long? Even the hare for that previous trail turned right at that T and followed his old marks unbeknownst to him.

    We all figured it out at and made it back to the beer. We just scored a few extra kms in fitness. 😊 The circle was full of stories of who went where and how they got there. There was even discussion of possibly a third trail a couple hashers crossed over on, leading them yet farther off track. In the end, we had a rare rare rare occurrence, with Pat Pom having run nearly 12 kms, receiving ToTW . . . the rare part was it was the first time she ever got it, what made it rare rare rare was she had already received the PoTW on Monday, for leading the pack astray on her own marks, not following the trail. Plenty to laugh about, another great day on the hash!! See less    Read more

    Bangkok Monday H3 #2223

    August 3 in Thailand ⋅ ⛅ 32 °C

    Trail started out fine, but turned into sort of a cluster f*ck. We exited the parking lot, and entered the park nearby. Trail had a couple checks, and took us up over the sky bridge and after the long straightaway, we hit another check that took us a while to break. The next check we could not break, and most of the pack ended up aborting trail and finding their own way back to the start.

    I was on for about 2.5 kms, then had a nice jog around the area for another 6.5 kms, and just made my own way to the finish. We hashed in the same area last week, so knew my way around the area. Chalk it up as a SNAFU.    Read more

    Bangkok H3 #2522

    August 1 in Thailand ⋅ ☁️ 30 °C

    Yup, me again haring for the boys of Bangkok. It has been raining quite a bit lately, and the trail showed it. I even had to move the start down the road because the parking lot at the restaurant was flooded and covered in mud.

    In an attempt to shift away from the short trails of late, I made sure this one got us back on track, and it was 9 kms of shiggy heaven. While I did have to do some pavement between the shiggy, the pictures tell the story.

    A couple walkers managed to stroll in first, but the runners came in soon after, all with wet shoes. Although rain was in the forecast for the afternoon, none was had . . . so only the feet got wet, but there was plenty of sweat to make up for it. Another great day on the hash.    Read more

    Bangkok Full Moon H3 #258

    July 31 in Thailand ⋅ 🌧 28 °C

    Small pack tonight for this night time excursion. We only had about a dozen or so, but we still managed to bust up the town. We started out just fine, but about 10 minutes into running, it started to rain . . . and that made finding the few arrows available, just a bit challenging.

    We had some good hounds on the job, and despite many twists and turns through China Town, the pack all eventually found the on home. Good times, good times I tell you.    Read more

    Bangkok Monday H3 #2222

    July 27 in Thailand ⋅ ☁️ 28 °C

    Another milestone hash event here in Bangkok. Three hash clubs here in the city have now achieved 2222 hash trails. The Senator set a rain soaked trail for us, and even provided a commemorative t-shirt for the event.

    From the start, we zigged and zagged to the main road, crossed over a walking bridge, and then the marks went dead for a bit. Some of us went down a road that apparently had old paper on it, but all turned back except me. I went another 250 to 300 meter and found a check. From there, I was out in front for most of the trail. Breaking the checks allowed the pack to eventually catch up, and all the FRBs rolled in together. At my advanced age, it was fun being out in front for a change and breaking all the checks on my own. Might never happen again, so a good day on the hash.

    Circle was the usual stuff, lots of laughs (and down downs). We then recessed for a great Thai dinner. Good time on the hash.    Read more

    Bangkok H3 #2521

    July 25 in Thailand ⋅ ☁️ 31 °C

    It was overcast, but it was very humid. Drenched in sweat, we completed the 3.5 km trail in about 28 min. So, why not take another lap. About half the pack went around again (I cut off a couple obvious loops, and went back for the beer). It was an excellent trail by Tinker, who even manned a beer stop near the end. We had a couple visitors, one was currently from the Seoul H3, the other a former member of Seoul H3, much like myself.
    Dinner was plentiful, made up of many a Thai delight . . . LB brought out the White Shark, and things got fuzzy after that. Another great day on the hash.    Read more

    Bangkok Thursday H3 #530

    July 23 in Thailand ⋅ ☁️ 31 °C

    It was one of those days . . . jumped in a taxi 90 min before the start, Google said, even with the traffic, it would take 45 min. Then we started hitting the red lights . . . I timed them, we hit three in a row that stayed red for 5 full minutes. My 45 min buffer kept dropping. First down to 35 min, then 30, and soon enough it was completely gone. My 45 min ride was going to take 90 min. Then by goodness G intervened. The traffic parted, we started moving along, faster and faster. My buffer started to grow again. In the end, I got to the start 10 mins before go time. What a relief.

    After dropping my stuff, we quickly circled up for chalk talk, and off we go on what turned out to be a 6 km jaunt. It was China Town, and any well marked trail there is going to be interesting, with all the little alleyways and arched bridges. This one was well marked, so we all enjoyed the twists and turns, everyone taking their best shot to break each of the checks, and we mostly ended up coming in together. Another great day on the hash.    Read more

    Bangkok Harriettes #2273

    July 22 in Thailand ⋅ ☁️ 34 °C

    Back in Thailand, just in time for the rain. When I walked to the train, it was overcast but light out. By the time I arrived near the run site, it was getting dark early . . . and 20 minutes later, just as we were ready to take off on the run . . . down came the rain.
    It is only those first few minutes going from dry to completely wet that are uncomfortable . . . once you are all wet, it is actually fun to run in the rain. And so it was, but with the rain, so goes the marks, and after the first few hundred meters, we did not see another mark for the rest of the day. I ended up running around for about an hour, enjoying the evening, but not seeing any more marks. No pictures, did not carry my phone on trail today.

    Still a good time, and still plenty of beer at the end.    Read more

    Tokyo H3 – 50th Anniversary of Hashing in Japan

    July 20 in Japan ⋅ ☀️ 36 °C

    First, a little background . . .

    Japan is a wonderfully diverse island nation in the Western Pacific Ocean. It has no physical borders with other nations, but does have maritime borders with Russia, China, Korea (N&S), and Taiwan. It consists of four main islands (Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu), and numerous smaller islands, including the Ryukyu Islands that stretch all the way south to Taiwan, and the capital city is Tokyo.

    The islands of Japan have been inhabited for nearly 40 thousand years, but there seems to be little recorded history before the first century AD, and that is from the Chinese “Book of Han.” We know that several dynasties have ruled Japan, and like other parts of the world, life was simple and warriors ruled the day. In the late 1800s and into the early 1900s, Japan’s rule was expanding throughout the Western Pacific (Far East) until the end of WWII, and that history is well recorded. After the war, Japan was occupied by international military powers from 1945-1952. Since then, a new Japan has emerged that gives more power to the people and new freedoms. Some of those new freedoms included the joy or running, and with that came the arrival of the Hash House Harriers.

    The first hash club in Japan was the Tokyo H3, founded by Patrick 'Dunafew' Donoghue on 14 Jun 1976, who had previously hashed in Hong Kong. The HHH was in full expansion mode by the mid-70s, and Japan ranks as the 30th country to have a hash club. It would be less than two years before Dunafew moved on to Kobe and founded the Kobe H3 on 9 Jan 1978. Further to the south, the small island of Okinawa would be the next attempt to start a hash club, when William D. 'Jock' Trader came over from Taiwan. His first attempt was the Naha H3 on 10 Apr 1979, but that club could not get a proper foothold. His second attempt 16 Feb 1980 proved successful when he founded the Okinawa H3.

    Hash clubs would continue to pop up in major cities throughout Japan, including Iwakuni, Misawa, Nagoya, Hiroshima, Kyoto, Osaka, Sasebo, and Ibaraki. Hashing became so popular that multiple clubs starting emerging in some of these cities, especially around military bases. Some of these took on names unique to Japan (e.g. the Samurai H3, Kamikaze H3, and Sumo H3 [wink wink, I founded the Sumo H3 back on 6 Jan 2002]). There was even a mobile hash club based on the USS Blue Ridge that was founded on 21 Mar 1981. In all, there are nearly 50 hash clubs listed in the HHH Genealogy, and as many as 20 are still active. Further information on these clubs can be found on the regional hash page.

    I have had the pleasure of running nearly 400 hash trails in Japan while living in Okinawa and Tokyo, and can tell you that the public transportation system in most of the major cities is amazing. Trails often start at a train station, so there is no need to drive. While most of the weekday hash clubs run in the city, the greater Tokyo metropolis has a train system that offers access to over 1500 sq/kms of amazing trails, and they are explored every weekend by the Samurai and Sumo Hash clubs. Japan has also been a key crossroads for hashers to go forth and start new hash clubs around the world. As many as 70 descendants are recorded from Japan based hash clubs, in far off countries including the US, Italy, South Korea, Iraq, Switzerland, and Portugal.

    OK, back to the 50th Anniversary. We had a amazing pack of over 100 hashers to help celebrate this auspicious event. Trail started at 1400 in Ikebukuro, and traversed many an alleyway, side street, and park over about 8+ kms of joy. We even had a shortcut for the walkers, on this extremely hot day of 36+ C (100 F). All finishers were rewarded with copious amounts of ice cold beer, snack food . . . and eventually a full on dinner with champaign, wine, and sake. It was great to see so many old friends, many I had not seen since I departed Japan back in 2004. This trail capped off 6 straight days of hashing bliss here in the greater Tokyo area, in celebration of the past 50 years of hashing in Japan.

    If you get the chance to visit this amazing country, make sure to set aside plenty of time to join one or more of the many available hash clubs.    Read more

    Sumo H3 #1053

    July 19 in Japan ⋅ ⛅ 33 °C

    This was the last prelube trail before the big celebration on Monday afternoon, for the 50th Anniversary of hashing in Japan. We returned to the site of the very first Sumo H3 trail in 2002 . . . and the 50th trail one year later in 2003. I found a couple old photos from trail number 50, I wanted to make sure it was the very same park.

    It was an awesome 8 km trail, 90% shiggy, up on the mountainside. We had about 50 hashers this time, a far bit more than back in the early days. So happy that the Sumo H3 still runs on, and now with over 1000 hash trails, we are going strong. ON ON!!!!

    And a special shout out to ICE DELIGHT for keeping the Sumo H3 going for so many years. Glad to see you are now traveling the world and seeing so many other new places. ❤    Read more

    I first hashed with the Samurai H3 25 years ago this month, during my 3 years living here in Tokyo. What a great time that was. Nice to be back and get a chance to run with them again, as part of this 50th anniversary of hashing in Japan.

    We had a good hot humid trail today along the river, for just under 6 kms. Circle was raucous with over 60 hashers in the mix. We then recessed for party food and socializing. Another great day on the hash.    Read more

    I spent many years in Japan, but this was my first trail with the Sake H3. Well, it was a split event with the Finally Friday Fukov H3, but you can only choose one.

    We had an awesome trail tonight, hared by Crusader. So many awesome little alleyways, and we even cut through several graveyards . . . ooooohhhoooohhhhoooooo. Scary. 6 kms of joy, and at the end we were served up copious amounts of beer and SAKE. Pissed as pissed can be. Good times on the hash.Read more

    Tokyo Tuesday Thursday Holiday H3

    July 16 in Japan ⋅ ☁️ 31 °C

    Tokyo has regular weekly hash trails on Sun, Mon, Wed, and Sat, and up until recently on Fri (Fri is now every other week). Originally founded by Rapunzel in 2009, as the Tokyo Tuesday Holiday H3, now the Tokyo Tuesday Thursday Holiday H3, was to fill in the gaps when such opportunities occurred. Japan has many holidays. Since we are having the big celebration for the 50th Anny, they snuck one in without a holiday.

    Last night, we met at the Hobgoblin Pub in Roppongi for more hashing fun. The lead hare was Piss-n-Boots, and SOMF and I assisted for moral support, as PnB had things all worked out on his own. It was an excellent trail, snaking along numerous little paths . . . highlighted with over 20 check backs. Very well coordinated, so the pack was twisting and turning all the way. True Trail was probably about 4.5 kms, and with all the CBs, closer to 6. About 20 hashers turned up for the fun, and we had some excellent pub grub to close out the evening.

    It is pouring down rain now, so basically a big etch-a-sketch shake cleaning up all the old trail chalk. Tonight we have the Finally Friday Fuckoff H3 trail at 1915. More good fun, then Samurai H3 tomorrow, Sumo H3 on Sunday, and then the big event on Monday.    Read more

    Tokyo Ladies H3 #2232

    July 15 in Japan ⋅ ☁️ 29 °C

    Well, I first hashed with the Ladies in Tokyo back in 2001, so 25 years of history there . . . but, it has been about 14 years since I last had the opportunity to join them on a run.
    When I lived here, it was about a 90 min to 2 hour train ride out to the west, in Fussa. I got out of work by 5 pm every Wed and headed to the train to make the journey into Tokyo over 50 times (and carefully planning to catch the last train that would get me home every time - that was no small feat, as it was never just one train. Often as many as three changes required to snake my way back to Fussa). One shameful note about this club, since I lived so far away, it was hard for me to hare a trail for them . . . but after relentless abuse, I finally did set one hash. My worst run to hare ratio of all the clubs I ran regularly with around the world.

    Tonight brought back so many great memories from 25 years ago, really enjoyed my time here. Tonight's trail was in Shibuya, a familiar area back in the day, but not so much anymore. Anyway, was great dashing up and down the narrow streets of Tokyo. Trail was well done, and made a figure 8 on the 6+ km journey. We had 29 on trail, and 22 of them stay on for dinner, at an Indian restaurant. Good times with great friends.

    Will be hashing every day for the next week, as we celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Hashing in Japan.    Read more

    Hua Hin Full Moon H3 #45

    July 12 in Thailand ⋅ 🌧 29 °C

    Wrapping up the celebration weekend for their 4th anniversary, the H2FMH3 set an excellent 6+ km trail through the streets of Phetchaburi. It rained throughout the trail, and was all city streets and alleyways. Plenty of checks that were fun to figure out. After a short circle, we had a nice dinner in town, then returned to the hotel to finish off the 6 racks of beer still remaining.

    After drinking beer for an hour or two, and laughing, I suggested we order a couple pizzas, so ibo ibo pulled out his phone and found a place. Said we had less than 10 minutes to get the order in before they closed delivery, so got a pepperoni and a supreme. He laughed, saying it was only about 380 baht for both. About 40 minutes later, the website said they were still looking for a delivery driver. Another half hour after that, a guys pulls up on a scooter and hands over two tiny pizzas, about the size of your hand, and we all busted out laughing. Ibo ibo had ordered personal pan pizzas. So everyone grabbed a slice and it was gone in 30 seconds, and we all called it a night. At least we got a good laugh out of it all.

    I woke up this morning with a sore neck from whiplash, and a slightly sore butt, from my crazy fall yesterday . . . although I am still so thankful for not splattering my head on the concrete. Always look on the bright side of life . . . doo doot, doo doot, da doot da doot da doot . . .    Read more

    Hua Hin 7-11 H3 – Hangover Trail

    July 12 in Thailand ⋅ 🌧 30 °C

    We awoke to a cloudy sky, and a steady drizzle coming down. The hares managed to get all the marks on the vertical surfaces, so trail was intact throughout the first 5 Km leg to the restaurant. Trail had several FTs, but only one or two checks. They even had a run/walk split, but I think only a couple of us did the actual runner’s trail. No worries, all good. Even saw a monkey on trail.

    We all settled in for lunch, and the beer started flowing. I was not feeling like drinking beer, so wandered down the street and picked up a couple cans of Coke Light, and started making my way back. It was still drizzling, and as I stepped across that spot between wet sidewalk, and dry cover, I stepped on what turned out to be greased lightning. My leg went up in the air so fast I did not have time to flatten out, which saved me. I was still in a banana shape when my ass hit the concrete, so only landed on my ass & elbow (soda cans flying through the air). So very lucky me head missed the pole, as well as not banging it on the concrete. I could have blown my brains out there on the sidewalk. My lucky day for sure. I may find out I have whiplash or ass bruising tomorrow morning, but for now I feel fine.

    After a fine feed of local Thai food, it was make your own way back to the venue for circle. It was an easy jog of about 2.5 kms. Circle was really short, as most were just looking to jump in the shower and dry off . . . in preparation of the real trail later this afternoon. We now have a couple hours to relax.    Read more

    Hua Hin 7-11 H3

    July 11 in Thailand ⋅ ☁️ 28 °C

    Well, I was not planning on it happening, but I have now participated in a 7-11 Hash Event. Down here in Hua Hin (actually in Phetchaburi, about 60 kms north of Hua Hin), for the Hua Hin Full Moon H3 4th Anniversary weekend. Since it was actually 11 July, they started the weekend with a 7-11 Hash Outstation, claiming it is the first ever outstation for such an event.

    Not saying I am a fan, because it is mostly drinking, with little emphasis on the trail . . . but we had a good time. We hit 5 stops on the way to dinner, then two more on the way back to the hotel. Now time to rally for the hangover trail this morning . . . more to follow.    Read more

    Bangkok Thursday H3 #528

    July 9 in Thailand ⋅ ☁️ 34 °C

    My turn once again to lead the pack astray. Set an 8+ Km trek around the National Stadium area, filled with alleyways, RR Tracks, and other assorted obstacles. The pack of 25 or so, only took a few pictures for me to scarf up for this post . . . maybe they were to busy keeping track of all the turns.

    Circle was short and sweet, and then we recessed for a plentiful pizza dinner. Good fun was had by all.    Read more

    Bangkok Harriettes #2271

    July 8 in Thailand ⋅ ☁️ 33 °C

    Back to Bang Sue, not literally, just starting back out there by the new train station. It was a hot and humid evening, but it looked like the rain would hold off for us, and it did . . . until just before circle (then it let loose on us).

    Trail started by running back to the station, where the septuagenarian pack of early starters got bogged down at the first check. Although they started about 30 minutes before the main pack, we found them still searching just a km away. In their frustration, they shouted they had looked all over, and had already covered over 4 kms with little to show for it. The pack soon found the paper and off we traveled up along the train tracks.
    Weaving our way through the streets and dirt paths before us, we crisscrossed the RR tracks several times. It was an excellent trail, but there were just two little things that confused the pack. First, the hares used pack arrows . . . so there was no distinction between the two as we moved along (and someone in the pack was dropping pack arrows a tad bit carelessly).

    Second, trail eventually passed through someone else's hash trail from the past couple weeks and then the shit started hitting the fan. We ran off on what ended up being old trail. Eventually figuring out that we were definitely not headed back to our start point, we turned around and eventually found our trail. 2 kms later, we found the hares waiting at a beer check, with a mea culpa (we were 9 kms in at this point), handing us a beer along with 20 baht to catch the train (we were still over 4 kms away from finishing, so they told us to get on the train).

    BUT, it was still a km to get to the train, ride 2 stops, and then another km from the train to the finish. So in the end, we covered 11 kms on a increasingly humid evening. In the end, we all found our way back to the on home, and all was right once again, in the world. Another fun evening on the mean streets of Bangkok.    Read more
