BIG MOUNTAIN - Tran Phu to Tran Phu: over the top!

Hare:  Uncle
Hash Flash:  Cousin.  Additional photos:  Radio Wave
Ringmaster:  Basil
Report:  Uncle
 
The cloudy sky looked good for Hashing as we gathered at Hon Ru Ri and awaited the taxi fleet to drop off the eskies and blue bin at Haven/Lucy's bar on the way to our start point at 360 Tran Phu steps.
A chalk talk at the bottom of the steps and then it was "On On" up 184 steps to Hem 444 and the former French artillery battery.
​Back on Hem 444 after "inspecting" the guns, we passed the "underground torpedo" sign and continued on up the mountain past two small villages (including one false trail to a small shrine on the side of the mountain).  The second village's resident goose was a bit scary, but his sqwark was fortunately worse than his bite - and ditto for the ubiquitous guard dogs who make lots of noise because that's their job!
​Lots of scenery on both sides as we traversed the ridge: shipyards on the left, Vung Tau Bay on the right - excellent photo material!
We finally spotted the red tape markers leading off the beaten track and uphill to some shrines - which marked the top of the infamous '600 steps' down to a pagoda on Tran Phu.
​Right turn on the main road, then just a few hundred metres to our unusually upmarket destination: The Haven/Lucy's Bar & Grill - which was already hosting a 'gaggle' of Vietnam Vets (early starters for the 50th anniversary Long Tan Day on 18 August).
Plenty of time for snacking (spam baguettes courtesy Anti & Uncle), drinking and socialising as we waited for the backmarkers, then we followed the junior Hashers down to the beach for the team photo and Circle.
​Ringmaster Basil nominated Lady D to evaluate Uncle's trail and she noted the tourist attractions, excellent scenery and overall distance travelled (>7 km, mostly uphill), before awarding full marks: 10/10!
​Hash Virgins Ms Nga, Ugo and Ben were welcomed into the fold, as well as visitors "Joystick" (Bullsbrook H3, Perth, WA) and "Bag of Tatties" (aka "Sex and Tatties") - who wasn't really a visitor at all; as a former VTH3 Grand Master, he was a very welcome returnee!
​Uncle tried to charge Viking with missing the steps to the artillery battery, but he'd already left for a business appointment so Lady D "turned the tables" and charged Uncle with something or other - not important really, because they both ended up drinking from the new Sinners Cups! (courtesy Radio Wave).
​"Tatties" was then invited into the Circle to be properly introduced as a former VTH3 GM and give us his verdict on today's VTH3, which he delivered in his rich Scottish brogue - proving once again that Hashing is definitely a cultural experience!
​Basil announced a trail on Long Son Island next week, with himself and SamSon as Hares - but please keep an eye on the NEXT RUN box in case of any unforeseen changes during the week!
We'll meet at Hon Ru Ri next Sunday, as usual: 2 pm for 2.30 pm start - in any weather!
​On On!
