MINH DAM MOUNTAIN - ĐÁ CHẺ ĐÔI (SPLIT ROCK)

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

Weather: Hot and humid, becoming cooler with storms threatening but very little rain.
Hash Cash: 1pm run fees Bull Ant, Secs @ Nắng Vũng Tàu, 5 Lê Ngọc Hân, Ward 1 (Paper Garden restaurant side).
Total Hashers: 21
Trail: Dismounted Hashmobile on road several hundred metres past and outside Minh Dam Base entrance. Chalk talk by Secs (edited): “Follow red tapes and Hares on relatively short but steep climb. Hermit shack marks halfway point. Total distance ~2-3k.” Then we crossed monsoon drain onto jungle dirt track and steep climb (~1,842 steps) past hermit’s shack to split rock (Đá Chẻ Đôi) and flagpoles. Descent also steep in parts but fairly short and easy going along paved stone track and steps to Base parking area.
Highlights: Very helpful rope handrails on steepest parts of climb. Panoramic views over Long Hai beaches, coastal townships and East Sea. Placid dogs in Down Down area but threat of rain kept aggressive monkeys away! Another good Circle effort by Trainee Ringmaster David!
Down Down: Minh Dam Base parking area.
Refreshments: BBQ pork banh mi, veg, dipping sauce. Water melon slices, pineapple chunks (prepped by Flowerpot), nhung (spicy berries) courtesy Ms Tai. Bia Saigon, Revive, softies, mineral water.
Circle: Trail rated 10, 10/10 “Excellent!”, “Hot climb.” Hares Secs, Chippy, Bull Ant applauded. Returnee Johnny Willis welcomed back (works in HCMC). No Hash Virgins or Visitors.
Circle announcement: Next week’s trail Can Gio (Monkey island). Meet @ Nang Vung Tau (Paper Garden restaurant side), 9.30 am. More details to follow.
On on on: Mr C’s Speakeasy.
