Hare - Hopeless A LSW run with a difference gathered in TST. We had already warned by our hare, Hopeless, that if the post run arrangements were out of your comfort zone then don’t bother coming. Despite the warning, a large pack of about 30 runners assembled in TST next to the Star Ferry and Harbour City. With a few choice words our hare set us off down the harbour front with encouraging words “the first mark is about 2km down there”. As I was a late comer I didn’t know what the main pack was doing and accompanied by Indie set out running a large number of false trails. The run itself was relatively short and straight forward. True to form we ran the full length of the harbour front and over the top of the Central tunnel approach around Hung Hom station flattening a large number of Honkies on their way home from work. We passed round the back of Kowloon Cricket Club crossing Austin Road past Jordan station on into Kowloon Park and on home down Canton Road. Front runners arriving back in less than 40 minutes and all returned in less than an hour. The hare had not reckoned on so many runners ran out of beer several times and was seen repeatedly dashing in and out of 711 buying up all the cold beer and breaking the LSW hash taboo on buying tall boy beers at the same time. Another LSW tradition was broken when the hash circle was formed there and then (instead of after dinner) and the indomitable bark of the Indie laugh was heard bring the hash to attention On to the down downs.

With Backdraft first to make his intentions clear by turning up with a full jug of beer and then proceeding to chunder over the balcony onto the temporary immigration tent below. You can’t take the hash anywhere! 
It was to be a short, flat, city run - no markings for the first 1.34kms until the first overpass bridge check due to extensive touroid activity.
