Mei Foo Hare Catch of the Day 21 runners showed up for the 12 12 12 end of the world run; what numerical symmetry. No Mayans though. They probably had other ideas of what to do on their last day. So there are three splits all with a 1 and 2 trail on each, the number ones being easier than the number twos. How long is the run – ‘don’t know but if you have a conference call at 9pm there is a 4km Super Wimps’. So out of the park we went to a right turn at the Li Chi Kok Sports Centre that all of the pack missed. Except Frank the Plank. He snuck off right and went into strict radio silence leaving the rest of the pack going in the wrong direction. WTF. We went across Castle Peak Road for a bit of confusion until Hopeless found an On Home so we carried on looking for the outward trail in the shiggy then up to Wah King Rd towards Wonderland Villas. Here we went due east up a virgin shiggy trail that took the hare two hours to navigate then on to the Shek Lei Pui Reservoir retracing some of the Free China’s Saturday markings. Round the north of the reservoir, then we headed south on some great trail running round the bottom of the Kowloon Reception Reservoir. There were several more surprising detours off the road up into the shiggy before hitting the Cheung Hang Road towards our old On Home. The map A great run with a good selection of Japanese beer in the bins. Hot showers at the sports centre then on to the basho with a depleted pack. After dinner someone must have muttered ‘hit me again’ ‘cos the entire 10 courses were served up again. If Bob le Dick had a fridge in his tent he’d still only be on course 5 after a week….
