Hash Flashers: Chippy, Chom Chom Ringmaster: Chom Chom Report: Uncle
Weather: Overcast, plenty of shade.
Hash Cash: 1 pm run fees Secs, Bull Ant @ Nắng Vũng Tàu, 5 Lê Ngọc Hân, Ward 1. Total Hashers: 26 Trail: Disembarked outside Ngọc Sơn Dinh pagoda in Nui Dinh Base Area for Chalk Talk by Secs (edited): “Follow red tapes up some steps (650!), through temple then along to another temple and continue the jungle loop following red tape to Down Down location.” It was a superb trail (imo!), with mix of ascents/descents, dirt and rocky tracks full of trees, dead leaves, bamboo and lots of jungle noises. Colourful shrines and temples everywhere (hence trail name), a dry stream bed, locals picnicking, a tribe of grey monkeys, ornamental gravestones, then a series of long descents with hundreds of stone steps and painted red/yellow handrails back to road level. Total distance ~3 km. Highlights:
Refreshments: Chicken drumsticks, pate, sticky rice, dipping sauce (purchased from Co Nha’s trolley outside 63 Ba Cu – open 5-8 pm daily); water melon, pineapple; Saigon Chill, softies, mineral water. Also chocolate cake slices by Bishop “to tempt the taste-buds”, and delicious carrot and granola cake with cream topping courtesy a former Hasher friend of Chippy’s for IWD. Circle: 5, 5, 8, 10/10; “easy for me”, “normal”, “lovely trail”. Also voiced later: “Full marks, today’s trail had everything!” Hares applauded. Hash Virgins Nhang and son Tony (Ba Ria) welcomed. Returnees welcomed back: Nha and son Harry (“busy”), Chris (“busy at uni”). Virgins’ intro and baptismal sprinkling by Bishop. Circle videographer David thanked. On on on: Mr C’s Speakeasy pub, 3A Lê Ngọc Hân. Next week: Watch this space, facebook page @VungTauHHH and direct emails for details of next week’s run. PLEASE REMEMBER: We can all help to keep run fees as low as possible by cancelling registration if suddenly unable to attend (the committee can then order a smaller/cheaper bus and fewer meals if necessary). “On On”
