Royal Southside Hash Trash - Run 1653

Hareline:

The Pre-Run:

STFU was obviously in a hurry to get this run started as instructions were given and the pack, consisting of Coco, Smallbone, Pussyfoot, Ali McBeal and Camel were sent on their way by 6:35 p.m. This prompt send-off must undoubtedly be a starting milestone for the pack this year.

Unfortunately, this left "late" arrivers McShite, Saddle, Cabbage and Jackoff in a quandary as to whether or not to sit the run out or try to catch the pack. Non-runner Hugh What offered little helpÉ preferring instead to watch the sword training locals also taking space in the park amphitheatre.

Cabbage eventually took off, as did McShite, the latter returning to ask STFU where the markings were and to pick-up Jackoff for some slow running company.

The Run:

Ok here goes the theory, start on a nice urban route set a few checks to slow down Cabbage and other FRB`s then head up them thar hills. Problem - only five runners started and the four way checks were so far apart no one could hear the shouts, oh well must do better next time.

The route went out along Kennedy Town Praya and after a couple of checks headed up Hill road onto Pokfulam Road and on up towards the Belchers where a check sent Camel up the hill whilst Cabbage guessed correctly and headed along the flyover and into the University Sports area. This lead them up some steps past another check and onto the catchwater to be met by yet another check. The correct way headed along towards and past the 1st staircase up to Pinewood battery and eventually took the small pack now including Pussyfoot up the steps to Planting station No1 where a checkback brought them back down from the more obvious route up to the peak and on to a small shaggy trail down to a river bed where no one was fooled by the check heading up the riverbed and all headed down back to the catchwater.

A check at the bridge there took Cabbage down and back up some steps and on towards Queen Marys Hospital where upon exiting on to the main drag another check caused a little confusion before the trail was found heading down the side of cemetery to meet Mount Davis Road. At this point Pussyfoot saw Cabbage returning back along from the left and failing to find anything right headed straight over and eventually up to a water reserve from where the steps down and on to a further short trail down to Smithfield and the swimming Pool. From there it should have been a gentle run in but due to certain late comers invading the on in trail made sure of a hectic finish.

McShite and Jackoff, having created their own run that dovetailed into the on-in trail, were found by Front runners Pussyfoot and Cabbage who were definitely running in high gear towards home. Coco had apparently taken a wrong turn and Smallbone was off-trail and out of the picture. A true sprint for the bins began with Pussyfoot taking the lead. But, Cabbage cunningly used another entrance to the park to cut the gap and, pulling away from closely following Jackoff, took 1st in honors. Jackoff was caught by Pussyfoot then nearly crashed as Jackoff tactically stopped short to make an inquiry about the weather. Somehow, this move prevented Pussyfoot from catching Cabbage... Camel showed up shortly thereafter, followed by Coco, Ali (I can't believe I beat Smallbone), and finally Smallbone.

The evenings pack thereafter grew in size as other non-runners arrived, including Squeak, Dribble, Haggis, Kiwi, and Tinks.

The Circle:

The post run banter centered on tales from Guangzhou, the upcoming Mynmar tour, and Coco trying to figure out how Jackoff managed to get ahead of him on the run (you went the wrong way at the cemetery mate ...)

Promptly at 8.45, with a nearly full moon rising, parents escorting children toting mid-Autumn festival lanterns and the ever present sword artists slashing their way around the pack, Kiwi called the circle to order and announced this weeks Amah nominees. This week's lucky draw winners included Pussyfoot, Squeak, McShite and Haggis. And, the winner is... Squeak.

Awards (still in dismal circumstances)

World's Shortest Fairy Tale

Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl "Will you marry me?" The girl said, "NO!" And the guy lived happily ever after and went fishing, hunting and played golf a lot and drank beer and farted whenever he wanted.
