A Horny Monkey run, from a random moobaan in San Kampaeng? What should we expect? If you set off with low expectations, you surely won’t be disappointed?!
Earlier in the week I hadn’t read the directions correctly, and then advertised on facebook the wrong directions – so sure enough I was already getting things wrong on the way to the runsite. Braindead!
There was a good group ready to set off, and jogging off I got the first check right through a bunch of dogs / birds etc. I hope people heard me call! Horny clearly didn’t get the message about not going into rice fields, as we were quickly deep in the muddy paddy fields, to cut across to a road. Along the road to the right we got to the checks that Horny must have been most proud of. A V check had me one side of a canal, while NOYB went along the road, I hit the circle, and when I got back from checking the obvious way, I found everyone else already on the other side of the canal laughing at me. Bugger – but a nice check, well executed – I’ll remember that one!
We slid our way through some shit following Skiddy, until a circle check on top of a concrete bridge had the pack back together. Skiddy had checked the obvious way, while we all were convinced that it wouldn’t be over the barbed wire fence that Humperdick pissed on. It turns out we had to paddle through Humper’s discharge to continue. A false trail had me back at the front with Graven & Baldrick chasing me along the road to the unique double arrow check – I’m not sure that check will catch on Horny!!!
We were close, the finish was near, and I could hear Graven changing gears, but I nailed the next check. We were running along the side of a canal, and at a junction the trail went left 20m or so to the circle check. I knew it would be there, but absolutely fucked it up. Go on… Have a good laugh at the GPS track below…
Seriously though – an excellent Horny Monkey run! (Shame about the OnOnOn!)
