NUI DINH - HELICOPTER TRAIL

Hares: Secs, Chippy (live trail)
​Hash Flashers: Kevin, Chippy
Eskie Wrangler: Chook
Ringmaster: N/A
Report: Secs - with thanks to Uncle

Weather: Humid and overcast.
Hash Cash: 1pm run fees Secs, Chom Chom @ Mr. C’s Speakeasy, 3b Lê Ngọc Hân, Ward 1.
Total Hashers: 21
Trail:  Dismounted Hashmobile at roadside rest area opposite (now closed) nuoc mia stalls and concreted entrance road to monastery. Chalk talk by Secs (edited) away from main mountain access road: “Continue along monastery access road then into jungle and follow red tapes along dirt track circular trail, then rocky path and dried stream bed, slowly increasing ascent angle to final steep climb to temples and lookout rocks for photos. Then continue down (many small rocks and steep descent in places) until final concreted track to start point and across road for Down Down. Total distance ~4.5km.”
Highlights: Several different lookouts including ‘Helicopter’ and ‘A di đà phật’ rocks. Picturesque pagodas, temples and shrines around the mountainside. 
Special interest: Three experienced Hashers found a ‘new trail’ taking a virgin Hasher with them and were nowhere to be seen at the down-down. After some consternation from the group since there is no mobile coverage we were pleased to finally get through to them and find out that they have found their way to Suối Đá. Lesson learned - don’t overtake live Hares unless you know the trail!
Down Down: Rest area on roadside opposite entrance road to monastery between bridge and lake.
Refreshments: BBQ pork bahn mi, pineapple chunks, water melon slices. Bia Saigon, Revive, softies, mineral water.
Circle: Unfortunately due to having to collect the errant Hashers at Suối Đá, including the Ringmaster, there was no circle this week.
On on on: Mr C’s Speakeasy, 3A Lê Ngọc Hân
Next week: Watch this space, Zalo, facebook page @VungTauHHH and direct emails for details of next week’s run.
PLEASE REMEMBER: Hashmobile seats allocated in order of registration but CAN’T BE GUARANTEED if less than 24 hours before run start. Also PLEASE CANCEL YOUR REGISTRATION if unable to attend, so mismanagement can adjust/re-allocate seating, food and/or drinks.
