Total Hashers: 48
Trail: Northbound island access lane temporarily closed during roadworks so long u-turn to reach turn-off. Over bridges and left onto Long Son island to follow 28 April street ~2 km to Quan 999 (small restaurant/eatery on RH side). Dismounted in parking area and Chalk Talk by Secs (edited): “Continue few hundred metres along sealed road and turn right at red marker tape after school. Follow track to lower mountain, across the quarry and climb over boulders, then continue steep climb to summit, across and down via many small rocks and dry, slippery scree. Onto narrow concrete track past cemetery and few houses to complete circular route to 28 April street then turn right and continue ~200 metres to Quan 999. Total distance ~3.5 km”.
Highlights: Groups of happy, smiling children in residential area. Several unexpected steps cut into boulders on far side of quarry made the exit much easier. Very welcome shade and cooling breeze on hillside above quarry. Legendary #999 chicken as popular as ever. Traffic slowed by biggest crowd seen in many years attending a wedding on 28 April street as we departed the island!
Down Down: Quán 999, Thôn 4, Xã Long Sơn (small restaurant/eatery #999, Village 4, Long Son commune).
Refreshments: Quan 999 ‘special’ grilled chicken, green coconut sticky rice, cucumber, leafy veg, dips. Water melon, pineapple chunks. Chocolate cake by Phuong (Mt Everest lady). Peanuts by My Le’s group. Bia Saigon, softies, mineral water.
