NUI DINH LAKE

Ringmaster: Chom Chom/Bishop(VN)
Report: Uncle

Weather: Humid, high cloud
Hash Cash: 1pm run fees Secs, Chom Chom @ Nắng Vũng Tàu, 5 Lê Ngọc Hân, Ward 1 (Giay Garden side).
Total Hashers: 28
Trail:  Dismounted next to open area opposite Nuoc Mia stalls and rest area at monastery turn-off between bridge and lake access near top of Nui Dinh mountain road. Chalk talk by Secs (EN) and Chippy (VN) then walked about 50 metres towards lake access road before turning right onto dirt track. Crossed dry stream-bed rocks after 100+ metres and continued following red marker tapes around to the left over several dry stream beds until we reached the lake after mainly flat trail but with some fairly gentle ups and downs in places.
Over the cross-roads beyond the lake and more circular jungle trail, steep in parts, until back on sealed mountain road then downhill to start point for Down Down. Total distance ~6 km.
Highlights: No water in mountain streams so spare shoes not needed! Glorious full moon sunset as we descended mountain.
Special interest: Shared several parts of the trail with forest rangers and firefighters on motorbikes preparing for extended dry season.
Down Down: Open camping area opposite Nuoc Mia stalls and rest area at sealed monastery turn-off between bridge and lake access near top of mountain road. Nuoc Mia stall owner and son gave us chairs and tables for our picnic and very kindly donated many ears of hot corn on the cob.
Refreshments: Pate so, dip, pork crackling. Mung (donated by Ms Daem), water melon slices, pineapple chunks, corn on the cob. Bia Saigon, Revive, softies, mineral water.
Circle: Trail rated 10, 10, 9/10. “Lovely”. “Nice”. Hares Secs and Chippy applauded. Hash Virgins Hong Tram (HCMC) and Hoang Huong (VT) introduced and ‘baptised’ by Bishop. Sinners Chom Chom, Minh and Uncle ‘outed’ for short-cutting. Thanks to Circle helper David.
