Total Hashers: 32 + 30 from Saigon (Ms. Nancy Kieu from SGH invited a load of students and their parents to join us)
Trail: Disembarked on dusty road near smallholding for Chalk Talk by Secs: “5km trail up and down the mountain with a steep start, that eases up after a while. You’ll know you're at the halfway point when you arrive at a shady glade with an ancient tree - perfect place for a breather before heading up some steps to a small temple cut into the mountain with a spectacular view point. From there it’s a final push through a track cut between bamboo to the top of the mountain where you’ll find the final viewpoint at 433m.” 
Highlights:

• Beautiful jungle trail with plenty of photo opportunities - big old tree seemed especially popular
• Friendly monks at the small temple
• Amazing view from 433m above
• Kids sliding down the arid scree squealing with glee on the way back down
• Same kids practicing english with foreigners​

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).
