Write-up - Cute Boar Butt

When my dog Pepper and I arrived at A there was no one other than one Wolverine aka Hopeless sitting in the dark in silence, though, we (my dog and I) thought that was completely normal so we joined the silence as we were told to patiently wait for the hare to finish marking trail. A few other hashers namely Freebie, Octo and no-name Alex showed up shortly before the hare arrived, the pack immediately was briefed - wimps/rambo options, around 8km for wimps and 9.5 for rambos. "See you in two hours" said by hare Wai Chee Kok with a smirk but also gently offered a short cut option to those who were not spiked, then off the fast runners, us who were determined to prove our hare wrong.

With the first two checks being revealed during the brief due to the pack was leaning towards the smaller sized, we followed trail that led us into Hong Kong University and then up the steps towards Lung Fu Shan. Thanks to the FRBs Alex, Dame Invader and Octo, Pepper the Dog and I had no problem catching up as checks were being solved. There were a few interesting markings when OnOn were written but trail was definitely not onward but the other way; Minja Turtle was nowhere near, but I could already imagine myself telling him to shut up before he went on and on about female hares. Amazingly FRBs were able to figure true trail out and to cross those OnOn off for us, so the rest of the trail was all just a nice long run for Pepper and I.

Knowing Wai Chee and her amazing physique, the runs she sets usually are never just long long long but also high high high - it was a wise decision to not take the Rambo and to bring my 10 year-old dog up to High West especially having found out later that the total elevation for those who did rambo was around 630m gain. The girls gladly wimped along Pik Shan Road while Pepper was a bit timid but very well behaved, carefully following and later on running into non-short cutters FRBs shortly after the rejoin. Pepper took a quick dump right before Kotewall Road entrance then off we went the two happy girls running hand in hand back to A.
