LSW 1783 Yau Tong

 

Told just last night in a haze of sake and beer about the responsibility of next week's hare to be the current week's scribe, this scribe is now attempting to jog mental notes of last week's run from a hungover haze.

Run #1783, billed as "Formally Known as the Yau Tong Live-Hare But is No Longer Live-Hared Run" was in fact a rare, live-hared run, hared by now legendary, in his youth, soon to be Guinness book record holder for most runs hared prior to returning to school in the US, K*ntshy. Setting off the live hare ahead of the pack gave late arrivals, like myself, time to get changed and ready for running. The women were set off and the men followed, giving the hare about a 15 min head start. Minutes from the start, a high pitched shout was heard, coming from none other than Sticky Sex Toy, who, still in her street clothes, was trying to find her way to the start. It was later learned that she got lost again on trail and had to backtrack to A.

On on through the Lei Yu Mun restaurant area, all the way to the Tin Hau temple where we encountered the first check to slow the pack up. Turned out to be the steps just in front of the temple entrance and it was on up until another check in a grassy open area around the 2km mark. After front runners checking the road up and down came back, someone finally found flour in the tall thick reeds down the hill and it was on on again. Catch of the Day was shouting "Bobbledick!", to make sure he could hear after straying a bit looking for the trail. After a hard slog through some deep shiggy, we were back out on the same road that we'd just criss-crossed looking for the trail. Had the hare been hiding in the bushes waiting for the pack to get caught in the deep shiggy so he could safely continue on?

Then it was down the road and on to the cemetery. Zig zagging up through the tombs, coming out at the top, then it was on up the trail to another check. After a bit of confusion, it was a steep trail down to a concrete path which took us to the base of Devil's Peak. Then it was up Devil's Peak and down again to a road which was thankfully a gradual decent down into Yau Tong to the Sze Shan Street Garden Park.

A very well set live-hare trail with a good ratio of shiggy, trail and concrete.
