Wong Chuk Hang LiT FB pics here Most of the hashers have already arrived when I got to A. As soon as it was 7, Sex Gone Too Far briefed the pack on the trail. “It is a runner’s run.”, the hare announced. “The trail is quite flat with no shiggy, and you will only find hell bank money on the wimp trail”. “ Oh!”, he picked up a piece of chalk and started drawing a circle at the exit of the park, “here is the first check BTW”. Hopeless grinned and started destroying SGTF’s high spirit, “You can save your time. I know where the On-On is”. O’Bollocks concurred and started walking to the left hand side after leaving the park. Quickly the pack found the On-On pointing across the road, and the stampede of the herd began. Down Heung Yip Road towards Aberdeen Sports Ground, the pack found the first closed check after running passed the MTR station. Cheesy flying fox and I were leading the pack at that point. At the check, Cheesy picked the right choice and solved the check in 20 seconds, while I ended up running an extra 50 meter to catch up with the pack later on. No problem, I was with the pack again when we arrived at Wong Chuk Hang Road. We followed the marking to cross the footbridge over Wong Chuk Hang Road, and continued our journey onto Nam Fung Road. Cheesy was still leading but soon, we saw his headtorch pointing backwards. Burning lust, Jonathan were 20 meter behind the FRB, while Hopeless, Lost in Translation and I were 30 meter behind them. At that point, Hopeless was tipping out that the true trail is on the left, up the shiggy we ran from Octopussy and Sticky Sex Toy’s birthday run 3 weeks ago. Right at the bottom of the shiggy trail the FRB rejoined the pack, and disclosed that he hadn’t encountered any check back. Burning Lust chose to continue his search for marking up on Nam Fung Road, while Cheesy went up the shiggy trail. 10 seconds later Cheesy reappeared in front of the pack, claiming the shiggy trail can’t be the true trail as there were spider webs. A few of us followed Cheesy and Burning Lust running up the Nam Fung road, where a check back was finally found. Turned out Hopeless was right and Cheesy was too lazy, and the true trail was instead the shiggy we ran 3 weeks before. The pack was back together now. The shiggy was marked with hell bank money, causing many of us to wonder if we have missed the Rambo and Wimp split? Not really. After all the climb in the shiggy, we found the big W and R marked in flour: the wimp trail keeps going up on the left while the Rambo turns into a nice gradual uphill run on the right. The two trails both end up on a catchwater, which continues for another kilometer or so before turning into the Hong Kong Trail. There was where the FRBs left Pig Fokker and I in dust, and we were running almost the whole catchwater on our own. The wimps, which include Hopeless, Lost in Translation, O’Bollocks, Dogshit and Brother Anus, had been solving most of the checks from then on. The checks on the catchwater all got solved by staying on the catchwater, except the last bit where we ran up Bennet’s Hill a little bit before descending to the Aberdeen reservoir. On the downhill Pig Fokker and I caught up with Brother Anus, who ended up taking a taxi back so he would have time enjoying an extra cold beer. After crossing the dam of Aberdeen reservoir, we ran the familiar downhill shiggy along planks and water pipes in a construction site. That construction site must have be going on for a long time but finally here came some changes: there are now less secure planks and a more slippery water pipe. The last bit of the shiggy is getting less traceable, leaving Jonathan dumbfounded at the sight that an arrow was pointing off a mudslide. Back to the concrete, we found On On Home on the jogging path along the waterfront. While I was calculating what drink I should have when I get back to A, the marking disappeared after crossing a footbridge. I was planning to run back but Pig Fogger convinced me that we were on the right trail. He is smart enough to recognize the big structure above us is the MTR railway, and running under it will lead us back to A. He was right, and in 5 minutes we were back to Home.
