Run #117 July 20, 2013 Run Report
Location: Wild Woman Farm near Santiburi
Hares: Wirgin Bluce and Wild Woman
The July 20th hash turned out to be a pleasant affair as the weather was perfect – cool but no rain. It was hared by Wirgin Bluce and Wild Woman at their farm which strangely enough is less than 500 m. away from their main house in Santiburi. The trail was effectively the same trail Wirgin Bluce has set in various combinations and permutations for the last 5 years. However, true to form, Wirgin Bluce set some exceptionally hard checks that initially threw off the FRBs, but not for long as equally true to form, Nam Ron arrogently a ssumed he knew the way forward and ended up running at least a third of the trail in reverse. The mismash of paper then so confused the Second Walking Bastards, notably Lost Samurai, Nok Easy and On Fire that they ended up getting lost. This obliged the long suffering Wirgin Bluce to accompany a worried Fired Up in a vain attempt to rescue the missing SWBs. Meanwhile the rest of the befuddled hashers could not believe that a 6 km hash could take over 2 hours! A howling two year old, Intira however could not be fooled and she thus compelled her parents, Comes Twice and Blows Twice to head back home. Although it didn’t rain during the hash, it had rained prior so the trails were enjoyably sloppy and even the most prudish of the hashers returned with muddy feet. Two unnamed hashers showed up and ran hard. Just for fun we will call them Brian and Bill. Bill was thrown by Wirgin Bluce’s checks and eventually faded after venturing off on one false trail after another. Namron was able to stay ahead of Brian due to his local knowledge of the trails but after the on-in, Brian turned on the afterburners and left Namron cursing for calling “on-on” at all the checks Brian got wrong. After the hares eventually retrieved the lost flock, the sermon began with Namron leading the hymns. We were graced by the presence of Boy Magnet who after a six year hiatus came back from China to model the latest fashion of hash shirts. She looked simply stunning in the sapphire blue shirt and gave a wag of the tail for Bill, who to the astonishment of all refused to cough up 200 baht for such a prize. However, we did take a note and next month we will have one of our young handsome boys model the shirt again especially for him. (We did manage to sell 2 hash shirts to the more sensible hashers including Farang Friendly who were indeed charmed by Boy Magnet's magnetism.) We also honored our newest member Crash. However, since he couldn’t remember ANY hash songs after doing 2000+ hashes Namron serenaded him with “He’s the Meanest.” Crash gave his surprisingly fit 3 year old daughter, Emily the chance to name herself and she came back with “Six.” (Must be related to the number of bullets in daddy’s gun.) Shocking was back in form and completed nearly the whole hash! We filled up the hare line until Feb. 2014 by unanimously voting to give the absent Oral Banger a chance to lay the Sept. hash and Crash the Oct. hash. Finally, Wild Woman, always the gracious hostess provided everyone with abundant amounts of pizza. Overall, a very enjoyable hash!
On! On!

July 2013 Hash Report
The
July 20th hash turned out to be a pleasant affair as the weather was
perfect – cool but no rain. It was hared
by Wirgin Bluce and Wild Woman at their cottage which strangely enough is less
than 500 m. away from their main house in Santiburi. The trail was effectively the same trail
Wirgin Bluce has set for the last 5 years but in reverse. However, true to form, Wirgin Bluce set some
exceptionally hard checks that not only threw off the FRBs, it also confused
the Front Walking Bastards who ended up getting lost. This included Lost Samurai, Nok Easy, On Fire
and Fired Up. Both Wirgin Bluce and Wild
Woman were needed to rescue the FWBs and the rest of the befuddled hashers who
could not believe that a 6 km hash could take over 2 hours! Although it didn’t rain during the hash, it
had rained prior so the trails were enjoyably sloppy and even the most prudish
of the hashers returned with muddy feet.

Driving Instructions to Saturday July 20 Hash
This Saturday July 20 is the date you have been eagerly awaiting for the next Chiangrai "Family Friendly" Start Slowly and Taper Off hash. The overcast skies and multiple rain showers holds promise of cool weather for this special occasion. We begin promptly at 4:30 pm
Wild Woman and I are the hares. We look forward to welcoming you to our farm which is just over the fence from the Wild Woman house. We will park in the Santiburi Golf Course complex and then walk a couple of minutes into the farm.
To get there from the Big C head south along the Super Highway and then turn left on to Highway 1020 at the first set of traffic lights. After 6 km you will come to another set of lights where you turn left as though you were going to Phya Mengrai. Two kilometers later you will see the Santiburi golf course on your right hand side. Turn into the complex and shortly after passing the gate you come to a T-junction. Turn right here and continue along this road for 2 km without ever turning left. Just before reaching the Wild Woman house you will see some cars parked along the road and a HHH sign. Park here and follow the signs on foot to the farm. It will take you just over 20 minutes to drive from the Big C so plan to be gone from there by 4 pm.
On! On!
