Hare - Sweaty Snailgobbler Bumped into Tini Weeny in Sheung Wan while following the chalk to the ON Home, Trams and busses all full 10 minutes left to get there, well it a run to the start then. Not a problem you will have on the spacious modern and efficient West Rail line to Kam Sheung Road. Back to "Cadogan St Temporary Garden" Somebody on Google maps actually had the temerity to review this so called garden, and give it five stars. Well he was the superintendant of parks…. I was pretty glad when we started putting some distance away from this grimy concrete blight. Not that this happened very quickly, as some very well placed checks had the pack turned back to front many times over. With so many checks to choose from who can really have a favourite, but.. the pipe bridge over Smithfield rd. is mine… because its technical and it put me temporarily in front, just till the other side of the bridge you understand. Bit of an anticlimax that we weren't going over High West, but not surprising as I knew that Sheung Wan was the destination. Sometimes a little knowledge leads to a dangerous extra mile, and this was the case after the Xylophone trail. Assumption that finish was along the beautiful ferry promenade proved correct. The finish was at Pier 8, new home of the Hong Kong maritime museum, and SSG's very nice new establishment. Which by the way is now famous for having TV Tits' and Frank the Plank's face prints on the glass patio doors, hand prints like on the avenue of the stars being so last season. Lovely food and beautiful surroundings. Down down's by Indy were witty, however it being late, I made for the exit. Big mistake as Indy informed me… by the way your next week's hare… An e-mail from Denvy promptly arrived the next day, thanks for stepping in as the hare, so long sucker…. ha ha, ha ha…. Or something to that general effect. So next week's run will be "the revenge of the dummies" In summary a very enjoyable run, and an interesting route through Western District, especially at the start, with a lovely venue to finish! Thanks to SSG and family for hosting. Down Downs by Indy Welcome to Run Number 1933 - Significance?
