With many nursing sore muscles from Sunday’s Lanna Bush exploits in Mae Sai it was a decent turn out for Sunday’s FRB Wing earning hare!
With brooding clouds and faint rumbles of thunder I had déjà vu of Greasy’s run here (Disco Shelter) about this time last year and even with GPS I was not about to make the same mistake twice. After much needless rambling about the trail – eventually HRA headed us off in the familiar clockwise direction (road then right).
Gently setting off – no-one was keen on hitting the front, but Chucky, Sloppy and Square Rooter got to the first check and off to the left and hills they headed – I pondered and wondered about the perfectly good dirt road in front – so I decided to check there for a tad over 102m and indeed I found paper – shortly there after I found the hare on his trusty motor cycle putting his finishing artistic touches to On-In and I have to say how relieved I was!
Back into the A bucket I hear deep rumbling as Coming Slowly and I watch the rim of the lake collapse causing a tsunami across the lake – however good the missing bit of HRA’s run was – witnessing a landslide of these proportions was pretty spectacular! After further lesser tsunami induced slides the hills settled down but darkness began to fall. HRA was becoming concerned as an hour had past and still no sign of FRB’s – so off he went to seek them. Then the heavens opened – (did I mention déjà vu?) – and the GPS assisted Humpadick, Dirty P and Frozen Dick ambled in. Shortly after Bone Hur and Kwazi wandered in and then eventually a very soggy band of DFL’s – Chucky, Poo, Sloppy and Sq Rooter limped in 90 mins!
A relived HRA was called back – it transpires that he hid a circle check in a hole at the top of a hill and everyone was out-foxed (and lost!).
Food maestro Humpadick’s food was enjoyed pre-circle and then on with circle jollities. HRA was rewarded for giving those who missed out on Sunday’s terror’s a taster of what they missed and Poo was spuriously given the Wings for being DLF!
Not sure it was the recovery run most were hoping for – but good effort HRA!
