WALOB IV or QMC Run (Que muchos cojones) Hares - Lost in Space and Octopussy Write-up - Big Bitch As the namer of the WALOB runs I was fortunate to time my trip back to HK in time for WALOB 4. The first run in Nov 2011 was billed as the “Era of Good Feelings” but after that run was then called “What a load of bollocks” because there were certainly no good feelings after Run 1. Around 20 runners turned up at the start for the eagerly anticipated WALOB4. The talk was all about where B might be, having finished at Hammer Hill and Lam Tin on previous occasions. The bags were loaded into the car along with Gonzalo who was left in the passenger seat under a mountain of bags. Off the pack went through the village and up onto the Wilson trail, just like WALOB1, I thought. I hope it is not a rerun of that first WALOB and we end up going up Fei No Shan and down Jats Incline like the first one. It was a very silent hash with very little calling! Fortunately after a couple of checks we ended up on the Ancient trail to Sai Kung, going past the house where David the photographer used to live. Down the trail to the catchment and the Rambo/Wimps split. I opted for the Wimps which took us along the catchment before heading right down through a village and fields. A right turn into a field with the water pipe and past the barking dogs before ending up on the road beside the black river. Well it used to be black from the soy sauce factory but I couldn’t see in the dark whether or not it had been cleaned up. Down the road to the main road at Marina Cove and then left. It was a hard slog along the road to the Hebe Haven Yacht Club. The Wimps trail was good and very well marked but there was not one check on the Wimps so could not be classified as a Hash. When we got back to B, Indy was in a panic and there was no sign of the Hares. No bins! The hares were off trying to find Welcome and buy the beers and when the first Rambo appeared there was only 2 bags of ice cubes to quench their thirst. Most of the runners didn’t seem to mind the lack of beer but were more interested in going for a shower, changed days when the priority is a shower! Fortunately the hares turned up with an ample supply of beer and all was forgiven. We then had a quick dash into the Yacht Club as the heavens opened and the rain started. The curry arrived along with jugs of beer and Wanchai W*nker and the rain continued in torrents. Down Downs by Indy The Hares - Lost In Space/Octo… The Infamous WALOB 4 Run!!!
