Alice –
CH4 was shortish but scenic, much like your correspondent, set from Tin Tin restaurant mid way between Baan Suan Himdoi and Grand Canyon. Hares Sweat Pea and ToeJam stand in Chilly Pussy did the bizo in their usual area, which sadly for me invoked 30% and 4 checks from my proposed next run. Chchchchchchanges…as David Bowie once warbled.
We started off on a straight path to the doi and once in the forest they trail was difficult, narrow and steep thru the forest for over ten mins until we came to a wider ridge trail. The pack was already spread out and I was wishing my rectum was wider then it is as I was breathing thru it by then.
At one check, I got there as ToeSucker called on on following the FRBs paper, but FRBs Chucky et al who’d checked to the left and down, never heard so kept checking… He soon left me for dead and I caught up with Omsin, Dodgy Cocky and Toe Sucker as we came out of the forest to the red dirt road and the up and over another little hill. The descent was tricky, Omsin fell and a few heart jarring slips and slides did my groins no end of evil. I caught up with No Show Bro from Guam who was recuperating after illness and felt good about leaving him in my dust trail until I learnt he’d been sick and couldn’t breathe properly!
Once down in the valley it was brain dead straight back,no checks, no Vs, no false trails, but a lovely route all the same. Toe Sucker got ahead and kept going while I walked inbetween spurts.
The circle had already started when the DFLs TipToe and FDick arrived, drenched in lover’s sweat. Nice to meet the young guns from Guam, hear their songs and sense of humour. Your humble scribe was awarded the Male Wings by Cumalot and Sleazy Rider from Guam(steady Chuckles!) the female. Tin Tin was a pleasant spot for circle and on on meal, altogether a pleasant Happy hash with a happy ending. Can’t say fairer than that.
