NUI DINH - "PAGODA CITY"
Hares: Mr. T, Have-A-Chat, Chom Chom, Chippy
Hash Flashers: Chippy, Chom Chom, Have-A-Chat Ring Master: Have-A-Chat Report: Uncle
Weather: 31C low cloud, then rainstorms.
Hash Cash: 1 pm run fees, Mr T @ Nắng Vũng Tàu, 5 Lê Ngọc Hân, Ward 1. Total Hashers: 35 Chalk Talk/Trail: Mr T (edited): “Walk 1.5km to Ngọc Sơn Dịnh temple entrance and join SCBs, then follow red tapes through temple grounds and up steps to lookout rock. Descend via mostly single-file jungle trail, mountain stream, another temple, then more steps (yellow hand rails) to Down Down. Total ~5km.” PS Down Down moved to large shed inside monastery grounds when storm broke as assets were unloaded. Highlights: The trail led through a veritable “Pagoda city” on the lower levels of Nui Dinh including cemetery with ornamental headstones, and many small side-tracks on the mountain to pagodas, shrines and shacks with friendly occupants. Special interest: The main temple (monastery), Tịnh xá Ngọc Sơn Dịnh, has many items and places of interest including “Buddha on Lotus flower”, a large reclining Buddha and ornamental shrines and meeting places.

Trail rating: 10+10=20/20 Hash Virgins: Ngoc Dien, Diep, Sam (intro by Sparkles), Duyen & Tuan, Ngoc & son ‘Kevin’ (junior with excellent English). Returnees: Stu & Huong, Sparkles & Rio, Gary, Hoa, Anti. Farewells: Uncle and Anti holiday downunder. Refreshments: Banh Mi, guava, water melon, Saigon Chill, softies, water. Sponsor announcement: The Office Bar will be closed Sunday, Mon, Tues 4-6 June and re-open Wednesday 7 June for Killer Pool. Circle closed: Stored assets on Hashmobile then slow and steady return trip (one comfort stop) wading through rising water levels. Storm abated as we reached Vung Tau but resumed with a vengeance as we unloaded Hashmobile so several opted for quick snack and/or “one for the road” at Bếp Nắng. Next week: Watch this space and facebook page: @VungTauHHH for more details of next week’s run. “On On”
