LONG SONG ISLAND

Hares: Secs, Chippy, Bull Ant
Hash Flashers: Secs (group photo), Chippy
Ringmaster: David
​Report: Secs with thanks to Uncle

Weather: Sunny and breezy.
Hash Cash: 1pm run fees Secs, Bull Ant @ Mr C’s Speakeasy, 3b Lê Ngọc Hân, Ward 1.
Total Hashers: 35
Trail: Over access 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 the parking area, Chalk Talk by Secs. Walked ~400 metres along 28 April Street then right at red marker tape after school. Followed the track through the village to the lower mountain. Crossed the quarry, climbed exit boulders then continued steep climb to the summit. Across level area then steeply down over many small rocks. Onto narrow concrete track past cemetery and several houses to complete ‘loop’ to 28 April Street, then turned right and continued ~200 metres to Quan 999. Total distance ~3.5-4km.
Highlights: Happy youngsters in village practising English: “Hi, what’s your name?”. Hashers helping each other on vertical climb out of the quarry. Welcome shade and cooling breeze on the hillside beyond the quarry.
Lowlights: A lot of Hashers following the wrong trail! However, after a Bull Ant chased after them we were back on the right track. Red marker tapes disappeared from the mountain summit (again!) causing some confusion but clarified by Hares.
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, Ms. Kim’s delicious coffee cake. Bia Saigon, Revive, softies, mineral water. Nips of Jameson’s Irish Whiskey in honour of St. Patrick’s Day kindly provided by Rear Admiral.
Circle: Trail rated full marks, “excellent”. Hares Secs, Chippy, Bull Ant applauded. Hash virgins; Nguyen from Vietnam and Jen from Philippines. Returnees; Anna, Hans, Vân, Ms Oanh and Mr Tiến. All the Hashers who followed the wrong trail were brought in to the Sinners circle. We said “farewell” to Rear Admiral who will be returning to the UK for the summer.
On on on: Mr C’s Speakeasy.
