Lemondropkid Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 4 hours ago, forcebwithu said: wasn't happy with the trail the hares set. So many opportunities to avoid the farm fields and keep us under shade, but instead, for whatever reason they elected to use the unshaded areas. The worst was one section that went 600m on tarmac road. With the heat it felt like twice the distance. All the while I'm trudging along the road I'm looking to the left at beautiful tree canopy that if I were the hare I would have looped the trail through. I'd have been furious. Its killing heat at the moment why deliberately put people through the worst of it? Is this a macho thing? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this a macho thing? Nah, just not thinking it through. Some hares are better at designing trails, while others are just lazy, or don't care when it comes to a well thought out trail. There are also hares that just go out and wing it rather than use technology to help them design a great trail. For Saturday's trail it's easy enough to see via Google Earth the alternative trails that could have been used. As an example, the blue lines below are trails we've used in the past, the green line is Saturday's trail. For the "Tramac Section" and the "Bloody Hot Section" it would have been easy enough to head into the areas marked "Shady Area I Would Have Used". But the hares on Saturday aren't comfortable with using GPS logs and Google Earth for planning, so we ended up with a less than ideal trail. Not really an issue as most of the guys are pretty fit, and we take comfort in the knowledge there will be plenty of beer waiting for us at the end. As an aside, no surprise given the heat our beer consumption was up. The 46 hashers consumed 297 cans and bottles of beer at a total cost of 10,078B. By that measure it was a great day out. 2 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes all is well, had a 8 week trip to Thailand and returned to u.k, just before Christmas. Pattaya, Hua Hin and finished off in Phuket to visit a few mates. Plenty of fishing in all of the locations, life is good, take care mate. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post coxyhog Posted March 26 Popular Post Share Posted March 26 Just got home from Bangkok via Doha & Qatar Airways. It's 9.25pm here & I got up at 3am UK time yesterday & have had about 90mins sleep since. BKK-DOH was a Boeing 787 & DOH-LHR was an Airbus A350.I think the Airbus just shaded it,but maybe it was because there were a lot less people on the Bus,although I did get a numb arse on the Boeing.Food & service were good on both legs. Sailed through immigration at LHR & then after less than 5mins in the baggage hall my suitcase came out.Then a 30min wait for my mate to pick me up & straight into a snarl up on the M25....& it was pissing down....some things never change. 2 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once drove down to London from Dumfries Scotland. I was in a fcuking car with manual transmission, sitting on the right side shifting with my left hand. Pissed like cats and dogs the entire journey. Found the exit on whatever M it was by sheer luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
