The Virgin Mary leaving / Cheung Yeung holiday run

Lam Tin

Hares - Lost in Translation, Hopeless

tvm

A rather festive holiday, family day, going away do, nice late summer weather day prevailed for #2030 and it’s early 4pm start at Ping Tin Street Open Space Area in beautiful Lam Tin.

A good turn out of over 40 turned up to be treated to yet another Hopeless and Lost in Translation classic as original hare Suck My Pills had to bow out. Briefings were given, and off we went initially through the concrete playgrounds and streets of Lam Tin.

The most unusual site of the day was TVM actually on trail and not pointed to the nearest Mc Donald’s. An interesting site was Octo firmly on trail but putting all of her attention and then some into locating a toilet. The cutest site was still unnamed Fumio’s –I still like Mexican Chucky- two horrors on the trail.

I ran with Free Rider and Sparkling Wine as we negotiated are way through Tak Tin Street, Lin Tak Road, and onto the trails. A rather cunning front runner was nice enough at a check to rub out the arrow pointing in the right direction and send a bunch of us in the wrong direction. In didn’t help that a local villager was also encouraging us to go the wrong way as well. But as always we eventually figured it out.

Trail went up to Ma Yau Tong Road and through the villages there eventually putting us on the Wilson Trail. The split had the Rambos climbing the hill so high high high but Free Rider and Sparkling Wine decided on a rather flat W trail so I had to climb it “all by myself”

Trail went all the way up the 300M Black’s Hill and gave beautiful views of the Tseung Kwan O side of the hill. It reminded me of an earlier LSW run hared by Lost in Translation with absolutely no help from Hopeless in which we were all inundated by relentless thunderstorms but still managed to have the same nice view at night.

Coming down the hill I managed to have a really pleasant one and a half second conversation with the tardy Wai Chi Kok as she flew down the hill faster than something really fast.

Trail finished up through Lam Tin Park at what I would log as a perfect 6.67km trail.

The hares leaving nothing to chance on this festive holiday, hired a Cantonese Opera to serenade us as we came back into A. Nice touch!!

Thanks to the hares, Best of luck to TVM on her journey’s and yes Octo did manage to find a posh toilet on trail.

To Indy for the DDs.
