Location:- Pakkret
Hare:- Bullit

Bob-a-lube turned up early with two women and then sent the girls shopping so he could drink beer in peace.

Slowly others turned up and the general consensus was summed up by Joseph who exclaimed "It's rainy season so why have the heavens opened" or at least I think that's what he said as a bolt of lightning split yet another tree in two with thunder that was louder than an ACDC concert.

Mae Noy and Prickly Bird proudly told everyone that no matter what Thor threw at them they were up to it (what they actually meant was that they forgot to bring a change of clothing).

As storm of the century continued it was time to start so we took a boat to the B site. This wasn't the typical calm waters of the khlongs but instead 20 metre high waves battered the flimsy boat as we sailed into the eye of the storm.

Captain Erik did his best to navigate the tsunami like waves as Hare, Bullit, ordered that everyone do the Wa¬kers trail. Only Titia, Mother Mary, Shaggy and Tinker were listening.

Noah (aka 4x2) was in his element as he recounted bringing the animals in 2x2 when he had his arc.

City Girl and others did a shortened route whilst the women (Always Cums Last, Tom Yung Kung, Prickly Bird and a Visitor [who won't be named because of the shame of running like a female - ie fast]) did the full Run. Overarching barstewards that ought to be publicly pissed on in the Scribe's opinion... It's always women that fail to understand that the Hash is about beer NOT about moving quickly.

The Hike took us initially along elevated walkways until we got to the 1st check. A rather sneaky one that LCBS could have worked out but she was too busy explaining about Pickleball to even notice we'd found a Czech. Whilst her husband, Tickler, was more interested in charging interest on those who were late to pay their Meander fees.

Eventually the check was solved and we were on to the Wa¬kers / Racist split. Bullit, being smarter than the average Hasher, decided, maliciously, to not tell anyone that the Wa¬kers route wasn't marked so the 4 idiots carried on thinking they were shortcutting when they were actually on Trail. They were led by Titia who hadn't quite realised that Wa¬kers Trail meant NO running.

After what seemed like a life time, which it would have been if we had been Mayflies, we found the Long / Short rejoin. That was when the fun began. Middle of the rainy season, lightning strikes every few seconds, alligators waiting patiently in the water but the Pack pushed on through heavy jungle, treacherous river banks and ever circling vultures just waiting for us to put a foot wrong. It was the sort of epic scene that even Hollywood struggles to reenact.

Tinker and Titia were "lost" on Trail, more like remembering their honeymoon. and so he was too late to be RA. Noreiga stood in and was at his usual level (very amusing).

At the end of the evening, Tinker made a point of explaining in great detail how he absolutely did NOT get lost and if that did somehow happen how he did NOT take a motorcycle taxi and just to make sure there wasn't any confusion it certainly wouldn't have cost THB200. Hope that clears up any confusion.
