This Week's Run

15/8/02

Location: Hebe Haven Yacht Club

Hare: U Watt

A To B Run

This week's run will be set by U Watt (aided and abetted by Cabbage - so expect the worst), from the slightly obscure location of the Hebe Haven Yacht Club Car Park.

For those of you who have run from Hebe Haven Before this is neither of the usual locations (ie NOT on the public pier, and NOT in the public car park in front of the yacht club).

To get to Hebe Haven (by public transport) take the MTR to Choi Hung and Exit via C3. This will take you to the temporary 'Siu Bar' (mini bus to you) stand. Look for the 1A minibus which will be labelled as headed for Sai Kung, get on this bus (this will set you back the princely sum of $7.5).

Once on the bus enjoy the white knuckle ride until you pass the nasty white development of Marina Cove on your right (you can't miss it). Now you have to wake up and pay attention...

About 5 minutes after passing Marina Cove (depending on traffic - so don't blame me if you are quicker or slower) you will find yourself coming down a slight hill and you will/should see the Pak Sa Wan public pier and the Sampan Restaurant coming up on the right hand side. At this point you need to yell one of the following at the driver:

If you are new to HK, or a Government Architect then shout: "Yau Lok"

If you have mastered "M-Goy" then shout: "Bar-see Dzarm M-Goy"

If you want to show off and impress some small Canto-tart on the bus shout: "Pak Sa Wan Yau Lok M-Goy"

All of these should have the same effect - the driver should give you a cursory wave of his hand and then the bus should screech to a halt in a small car park opposite to Hebe Have Yacht Club.

Having disembarked, cross the road at the pedestrian crossing (looking both ways as you cross the road) and then turn left. Now you have two choices - if you know where you are going cut through the club and into the car park; if you do not know where you are going keep walking past the club and past the bus stop - you will then see the entrance to the car park on your right. Go into the car park and look for U Watt and other hashers hanging around.

As ever, please see the maps below:
