BIG MOUNTAIN - HEM 444 VIA GANH RAY BATTERY AND UNDERGROUND TORPEDO

Hares: Secs, Bull Ant
Hash Flashers: Chippy, Secs
Ringmaster: NA
​Report: Bull Ant with thanks to Uncle

Weather: Overcast at times, sunny at times with a slight cooling breeze.
Hash Cash: 1pm run fees Secs, Bull Ant @ Nắng Vũng Tàu, 5 Lê Ngọc Hân, Ward 1 
Total Hashers: 14
Trail: It was taxi's to 360 Tran Phu, Chalk Talk by Secs and then straight up the stairs. A total of 185 stairs led us directly to Hem 444 after which it was a right turn and 1km further to another 102 stairs. These stairs led to the Ganh Ray battery, an area steeped in history, which some local Hashers were seeing for the first time. A comprehensive description of the area can be found at https://vungtauhistory.wordpress.com/the-fortifications/1-ganh-ray-battery/. After many photos it was on on continuing along Hem 444, past the underground torpedo and then a further 4km. At this point we would head into the forest and make our way to Vi Ba, past the Army base, turning right at the temple and down through one of Vung tau's very "Gucci" suburbs where we would end up back on Tran Phu. From here it was a very straight forward walk back to Nang where we would have our Down Down..
Down Down: Nang Vung tau, 5 Le Ngoc Han.Refreshments: Superb Bahn mi. Watermelon slices, pineapple chunks. Bia Saigon, softies, mineral water.
​Circle: No visitors, no returnees, no sinners, no virgins, no circle.
On on on: Mr C’s Speakeasy.
Next week: Watch this space, Zalo, facebook page @VungTauHHH and direct emails for details of next week’s run.
PLEASE REMEMBER: We can all help to keep run fees as low as possible by cancelling registration if suddenly unable to attend (mismanagement can then adjust transport and/or food and drinks if necessary).
