Toe Jam had recruited Superman to co-hare with him on his virgin run and the old master today had done his homework. Early on in the run there were a few excellent checks that deviously split us up. The circle that went through the creek bed, across a small field and out onto the road was genius. Another ignored the 2 obvious trails heading into the mountains, and cut back through the trees on a barely noticeable rabbit run.

I was doing well, cruising along out front until I did my typical screw up, following a wrong trail through a garden and not finding any way to get back to the real trail. Sloppy Rod was grumbling about me until he found out he was up front. We saw the on-in from way across a quarry which meant a jog down to the water at the bottom and a clamber up the stairs to where Sups and Toe Jam were waiting, camera in hand.

The circle was brought to us by His Royal Anus, who really didn’t want to be there! Belly Dancer punished me brutally for helping him out when he goes on holiday. Ugh – hash cash… The On-On-On was at the Beer B Q overlooking the quarry that we’d hashed through – good food, good company (mostly!).

Setting off an hour before the run was due to start given the directions – for a second day in a row a run on the Outer (Mae) Rim! The Hare(s) or HRA – who never showed up – somewhat understated the distance to the A bucket and after a scenic tour through the Mae Sa valley – finally 2 HHH signs were spotted with all of 2 minutes to spare before the run started. Being a male (traditional) hash our co-GM leaves job #1 (beer) to a woman – Knockout who fails to put any on the bus. En route Poo realises – so the bus has to stop for beer leaving Coming Slowly the task of driving at light speed to make the run – which he does – just!

With no visitors or virgins Poo dispenses with wasted paper and tells us On Out is ‘there’ pointing at some vast mountains which only Square Rooter and me gleefully charge off. A decent turnout for a run so far far away – off we start climbing gently and I nailed the first check and would have nailed the 2nd too if it wasnt for the rabid dogs 10m from the paper – perhaps I should take Kwazi’s advice and terrorise them!

The pack regrouping then started to climb in earnest – for 1.6km! – en route was an elephant and that was about the only living fauna we saw the whole run. Up in the stratosphere Rooter, Skid, Chucky, Humperdick and Sloppy forged ahead on the downhill section and naturally as it was wet and slippery I was even overtaken by Dirty P, Frozen and Hole Plugger. At times like this – I just relax and enjoy the scenary which was for me new and pristine. After the slippery hill descent the trails were good and runable and I caught up with the strollers and Mr Poo was waiting at the final collapsed concrete bridge so he he could enjoy us taking a refreshing foot wash before On In after 3.8km of arduous running/climbing/slipping.

The circle started in rain but we managed to squeeze into a shelter with a huge truck which kept thing intimate – Sups turned up a tad late and decided to skip the running bit. It took a few beers for the circle to come to life and after the dubious ‘food’ and yet more beer things did liven up for an enjoyable circle highlighted by Hole Pugger and Chuck Wow recieveing their 100 run mugs. Well done Knockout … erm, sorry Mr Poo for a good evening out!

Kwazi Moto took us 25km out of town along the new San Kampaeng road. We were curious to know what he had in store, and it was an impressive start with a palace as a shelter! Unfortunately things were already going wrong with the hash cash forgetting the beer, but Lung Laa thankfully remembered and stopped at Big C. Given how far out the run was, the bus just showed up in time at 5. That delayed the hare brief enough for Skid Mark to also straggle in.

We were off and within a hundred metres we had the first water crossing, which left Skidmark laughing, Chuck Wao looking for a detour and the girls jumping on backs. Then we were into our first rice field and with rice in full bloom we were scurrying along little walls trying not to cause too much damage until we crossed back across the water and found Chuck Wao waiting.

The trail then took us through a small village – through people’s gardens and kitchens and along the road some way – did we come all this way for this? More water to cross as we got out to the edge of the hills and we were finally moving along some nicer trails until we hit the rice field. I happened to be running along with Chuck Wao who treated me to a tirade “morally wrong”, “set back farang Thai relations a decade”… It was a long way across the rice paddy and not at all pleasant.

Finally back at the road and a circle check that was at least 150yards to the paper and then to the On-In. Runners gradually appeared unanimously slating the run as a disaster…
