Hares Randy von Fokker and Motormouth

A pack of 20 gathered at the sitting out area in Wong Nai Chung Gap and awaited the off from hares Randy von Fokker and Motormouth. Up Tai Tam Reservoir rd it was, with an early split and the Wimps turning right to go over Violet Hill.

The Rambos went left through the boom just before Parkview. Over the rise then down onto the HK stage 5 traverse. The checkback took us back up overlooking Parkview again coming out on Tai Tam Reservoir Rd. at the BBQ pits. Down the reservoir rd with a cunning detour into the shiggy where Randy got lost the last time only to find a T. Continue on down the road to a check where we all went up the wrong hill. Across the road and up the correct hill.

On to the country park road heading towards Tai Tam then a checkback where where the trail went down the rocks below the dam wall and up the other side . A long flat run to the junction between Violet Hill and the Twins. Down the shiggy to South Bay Close and a T, so back up and along the catch water to the junction of Headland Rd and Chung Hom Kok rd. The markings down to South Bay beach ended in a T so back up to run along Chung Hom Kok Rd. and on in to Stanley Plaza.

People took a little time to recover at the bins with comments overheard like 'I thought we going to finish in Repulse Bay', 'After that I thought it had to be South Bay Beach', and 'I thought we were going to Western because the last hash news said On On - western'.

The on on was indeed western at Beaches restaurant on Stanley Main Street. The staff had just finished a cocktail of barbiturates and Rohypnol and stared blankly at Randy von Fokker when he spoke of the set menu they had faxed him earlier that day. They were able to agree to any main course from the menu plus a starter and a pint of lager for $130 a head which worked out quite well.
