The story so far…….The Aussie site on a sultry steamy afternoon in very hot Thailand during April . The monsoon should be arriving soon but until then its tinder dry and very dusty. However, the signs are we should have some rain soon to coincide with the Sonkran Water Festival in a few weeks time but until then……hot hot hot.
The hare – Roger the Sick Prick has been very thoughtful and 90% of the run is under tree cover as we set off from the A site to circumnavigate a beautiful lake before going on through a disused quarry and into the woods with the first nasty open check and an even better FT which fooled the whole pack. ON called by SCB 'S Lord Lucan and Festering Streaker, both hashing with their brains and not their feet. Onwards, along twisting cattle paths with gentle slopes and the odd dry ditch. It was noted how the hare has placed rabid flesh gouging plants at regular intervals along the trail, and the blood gushed from the unwary hashes! At the next check our SCB 'S elected to follow a very long FT together. They must have been deep in conversation about some trivial mismanagement problem!
On left and Rusty Ringhole (young and fit ) and Sheik Meme ( just old ) are the FRB'S as we start to climb a bolder festooned hillside. On up and up..
Having imbibed rather a lot of amber liquid the previous evening I was rather slower than normal and lost contact with the pack at this stage. It then becomes a lot harder to follow a trail on your own. Needless to say I arrived back at the A site rather later than all the others muttering SICK SICK SICK to any hasher wanting to listen.
After cooling down I learned most of the pack had arrive back in around 80 minutes, some twenty minutes ahead of me! Ah, for another cold beer please.
