Location: Chalerm Prakiet Soi 68, Krua Mum Suan
Hare: Crash

The morning started out overcast but dry as I made my way back from Chiang Rai, but around noon the skies opened up and it poured cats and dogs. So much so, that while Boob-a-lube was out doing his daily saunter, he thought the Hash would be cancelled as the streets were well over ankle deep in many areas.

Alas, a pack of more than a dozen Hashers eventually turned up for the start. There was a question of which side of the street we would start from, either in the parking lot in the rain, or on the other side of the street under cover. Several of us Hashers played "frogger" getting back and forth across the street until a decision was finally made. In the end, it did not matter. We had to get back on the parking lot side of the street anyway as that is where the trail was.

Heading down the main drag for a couple hundred meters, trail cut left and back under a bridge and down onto a klong path. There was plenty of that as we crossed back and forth over several wooden makeshift bridges and eventually getting back onto the streets. Hitting a T, trail turned left and again just after passing over a bridge, trail turned hard right and down under and through a small park, then parking lot, and popped out on a side street. By this time, it was drizzling on us, and it was dark.

Boob got to the second bridge crossing, and not finding the cut back he did what Boob does, he made his own way back to the beer. At least 4 of the runners found the whole trail, enjoying splashing through several puddles, parking lots, crossing bridges, while searching for trail. The hares claimed true trail was only 8 kms, but the runners clocked up between 11-12 kms with all the exploration. Overall, it was a most excellent trail, many thanks to our hares.
