HỒ TRÀM – NÚI TẦM BỒ

Hares: Secs, Chippy (live trail)
Hash Flashers: Secs (group photo), Chippy
Ringmaster: David
Report: Uncle

Weather: Overcast, relatively cool, no rain.
Hash Cash: 1pm run fees Secs, Bull Ant @ Nắng Vũng Tàu, 5 Lê Ngọc Hân, Ward 1 (Paper Garden restaurant side).
Total Hashers: 30
Trail: Past an ever-growing number of resorts in Ho Tram Town, Xuyen Moc and dismounted outside ‘Trai (campsite) 584’, one of several camping and glamping grounds along the busy coastal road to Binh Chau and now under new ownership.
Chalk Talk by Secs reminded everyone to watch for heavy traffic before turning off-road approx 500 metres back towards Ho Tram. Followed mainly old trail and marker tapes along a flat, winding sandy track through trees and shrubbery towards higher ground inland.
Soil replaced sand as we continued upwards until the boulders became bigger and more plentiful as we neared the summit lookout rocks.
One last scramble over several very large boulders – aided by some strategically placed and very welcome knotted string – and we’d reached the summit of Núi Tầm Bồ (Tam Bo mountain): ~100m AGL with panoramic views over the local area and ocean.
Then back to Trai 584 (now named ‘Nha Go Camping’) for Down Down including group photo and Circle. Total distance ~3 km.
Highlights: Superb views from top of Tam Bo mountain lookout rocks. Down Down location with new owner, new name, freshly made furniture and nice, clean beach.
Down Down: Formerly ‘Trai 584’ now renamed ‘Nha Go Camping’ along the coastal road several kilometres beyond The Grand resort (Ho Tram).
Refreshments: BBQ pork banh mi with mixed veg accompaniments. Water melon slices, pineapple chunks (thanks to Rooster for chop-chopping!). Bia Saigon, Revive, softies, mineral water.
Circle: Trail rated 10, 9.9/10. “Good weather”, “Beautiful trail”. Hares Chippy and Secs applauded. Hash Virgin Hans (Germany) welcomed. Sprinkles by Bishop. Returnees Ha, Thuy, Tien, Thuy (all VN); Danny (USA) “No excuse for four years absence!” welcomed back. A big “Well done” to Trainee Ringmaster David for another good job!
On on on: Mr C’s Speakeasy.
