Run:- 2110, 3 June 2024
Location:- Sukhumvit Soi 50
Hare:- The Nigerian

The run started from underneath the Ramindra Express way near Sukhumvit Soi 50, though the misdirections supplied had the run starting from the median line of the busy soi. The hare's explanation for this was that he had been in Pattaya and Google won't let Pattaya folk drop pins under Bangkok expressways. Hey ho, people managed to find run site, including the all important Khun A who was sporting a 'new' piss wagon which already had a few battle scars on it. By the time the GM called the pack to order we were about 20, including a couple of Scandi visitors who looked even younger than our own ACL.

It wasn't long into the run when confusion reigned. The trail took us out to Soi 50 and turned right but on their way to the run Hashers had seen markings in the other direction, so when markings to the right ran out the pack decided to u-turn and run up Soi 50 towards Sukhumvit. The day was saved (for most, more about that later) by the hare who was going by on a motorcycle on the way to the beer stop. He explained that the markings we had seen while walking to the runsite were to guide us to the OnOnOn restaurant. The trail then took us down towards the port area and the slum communities with a beer stop about a third of the way round.

There were long stretches with no markings and only some checks were broken, as only ACL had been given the necessary baby powder to break the checks. The laggards discovered there were a lot of false trails.

When we got back to the beer most of the area we thought we'd have to ourselves had been taken over by locals playing takrow. Our hare, Nigerian, said he'd join in but he didn't want to show them up. After a bit of social drinking word came through that there had been an objection to us drinking in this public space, so the GM called the circle early. Amongst the usual down-downs there were about six returners, and as the Scandi visitors had already left for something more entertaining the only 'visitor' was Sauerkraut.

The circle had started with both RA Asses still out on trail, but as we had the real RA – Codpiece, that didn't matter. RA Ass Tickler appeared halfway through the circle but there was still no sign of RA Ass Tinker. Right at the end of the announcements Tinker appeared. He hadn't got lost in the slums, but had followed the arrows to the OnOnOn restaurant and waited there in the belief that it was the beer stop and that the rest of the pack would soon arrive.

Thanks to the Nigerian for an entertaining evening.
