GO GANG - around the lakes


We could hear the thunder during registration, but the rain failed to eventuate once again as our 35 Hashers journeyed to Go Gang and dismounted between the two bridges.

A chalk talk by co-Hare Rowdy Water and off we went through the local countryside.  A few wrong turns later, we encountered the first lake and then it was on down to the beach.

Yet another lake was circumvented in fine style as the Hashers communicated with cries of "On On" echoing around the picturesque area, much to the bemusement of locals who probably saw more visitors on this one day than for a very long time!

After an extremely pleasant afternoon's "stroll" through the unusually (for VTH3!) flat countryside, we eventually found ourselves back near the main road to Long Son Island, and our bus.  The eskies were unloaded and the usual ice-cold San Miguels, softies and water were devoured by thirsty Hashers as they tucked into the snacks provided by Anti and Ice Water: baguettes, hand-made garlic sausage, imported cheese, bread, cucumber and cha ca (fish cake) - snacking in grand style!

The Circle was called and Hares Rowdy Water and Ice Water were awarded 8/10 by SamSon, which included added points for "difficulty in marking".

Hash virgins Dolphin, Jessica and Norwegian family Tor-Erik, Camilla, Erik, Ida and Kaja (Norway) introduced themselves, as did visitor Jazzbo (Brisbane Hash).  Returnees Mapdraw and Van Anh were welcomed back from "unofficial leave", then this week's highlight - the naming of Chad and daughter Summer, who will henceforth be known in Hash Circles as BB ("Big Bear") and Four Seasons for their respective merits of "spotting and downing anything that moves, a la Bear Grylls" and "one season (Summer) ain't enough for the girl who does it all"!

And then it was time to head back to Offshore Bar 1 to offload the paraphernalia in preparation for next week.

STOP PRESS:  Hares Rowdy Water and SamSon have confirmed the trail on Long Son Island for next Sunday - start and finish at Bang Lang restaurant, via the mountain and local village, so don't forget your camera to record the scenery!

We'll meet on Sunday, as usual, in the Offshore Bar 1 beer garden at 2 pm for 2.30 pm start.

On On!
