Horny Monkey had a plan in mind when he set today’s run – and it worked out nicely for everyone! Clearly he’d let it slip to Skid Mark & Frozen Dick as he tried to persuade them to come along and it was clear that Horny Monkey was going to try something novel – but it’s Huay Tung Thao, what could he really do that hasn’t already been done?
Square Rooter commented at the end that a good rule of thumb for a hare is to make sure the last 500m or so was a good run, and people would forget about how bad the rest was. The last 500m of this run was a zipline across the reservoir after some other treetop exploration! Memorable? For sure and for all the right reasons! Belly Dancer probably won the award for surviving it given his fear of heights, but I think everyone was a bit scared – more scared of the rope bridges than the actual zip line!
What about the rest of the run? Well, it wasn’t as exciting as the zip line! A trundle along the edge of the reservoir dipping into the mountain occasionally. Horny Monkey left himself post it notes explaining where to set a circle check etc. but one particular circle check had everyone confused. Having heard the On-On call echoing from somewhere the pack dispersed into the mountain 180 degrees from the trail. The pack that is apart from Sloppy Rod who danced along in front of everyone else – but interestingly found the B site from a different direction (short cutting bastard!)
The marking of the run left a lot to be desired with small yellow squares being occasionally used and hashers regularly getting off paper – except for Superman who seemed locked in on the route – I think its the first time I and Chuck Wao have broken away from the pack with Superman leading the way! Superman wisely ducked out of the zip lining with the first group being Byte My Yahoo, Sloppy Rod, Chuck Wao and Bone Hur. Following behind Kwazi Moto, Humperdick, Belly Dancer, Square Rooter and Frozen Dick seemed to take an age – mostly due to them needing to coax Belly Dancer across the rope bridges!
A very memorable hash – great work Horny Monkey for a truly original idea.
