Write-up - Señor Space

Always a good time to have a birthday run and especially when it is a Pipe-Rider birthday run when she is celebrating her - fill in your guess - birthday. Winkie Twinkie assisting as co-hare and attempting with a little success to curb her enthusiasm for a real ball buster of an evening.

This lollipop concept has really come into play lately and yours truely Lost in Space has indulged in a lollipop or two myself. But this evening’s lollipop was a whopper. A little over 1km straight up or straight down. It may have set a LSW record. This run featured not one, not two but three climb the hill so high high highs for a total of 432 meters of elevation change.

So off we went and the front runners quickly distanced themselves from my fantastic group of myself, Freebee, Foot Fetish and Lubricated Mud. After much huffing and puffing we made it all the way up to Wanchai Gap Park. Hopeless perhaps sensing what was ahead made his own trail, Dame invader turned back citing a dodgy headlamp. Indy may have been in the bushes spying on us.

Trail down to Aberdeen Reservoir Road and across the dam to the split. This is where the real fun begins. A really nice LSW style shiggy trail up to the trig point on Bennet’s Hill. Then the best part of any Wednesday evening, standing next to the trig point taking in the view, enjoying the breeze and of course many ridiculous group selfies to post after the run.

But now how to get down off this hill. What seems to be the trail has a big X on it. There was something in the briefing about an X and don’t go that way. If only I would pay attention during these briefings. There is another trail but it’s really dark and scary looking. Best solution, the group sends Lubricated Mud down the wrong trail just to see if she finds flour while we stand around and watch. That’s not the way. Okay go past the X and see if you have flour while we stand around and watch. Flour that way and off we go. So thanks Lubricated Mud for being our scout.

Shiggy trail down had us all looking for a pair of sunglasses and the promise of a year of free hashing as a reward from the hare but sorry Winkie Twinkee we had no luck. Hong Kong Trail back to Wanchai Gap Park and the lollipop down down down to A. Absolutely brilliant!

On on to 369 Shanghai Restaurant. Not sure of the wisdom of having an on on at a place that closes at 4am with Indy in charge of a circle that begins at 11pm. But there we were. Indy prepared a nice cake for the birthday girl and while she wasn’t looking we threw out several pages of her down down notes.

Yummy dinner and a 1,000 HKD bottle of Guiness. As per usual a great time had by all and so a big thanks and gratitude to the hares. On On to the down down notes….. and I was just kidding about the part where we threw out your notes
