Ubon Hash House Harriers Run No 55 - Saturday 6Th April - Mun River West Of Ubon

[SantiSuk]

Ubon Hash Run 55 will be this coming Saturday, 6th April. Apologies for the late notice but your hare had another impromptu trip back to Europe for yet another family funeral. Just got back and will be checking out locations for the 'run' in the next couple of days. Will post details on this thread when fixed, but in the absence of any other information you can always meet for a pick-up at Wrong Way café (Phadaeng Road in central Ubon) at 3.45pm prompt.

E-mail me (or PM me if viewing the ThaiVisa website) if you need more information.

Hashing is social running and there have been hash clubs all over the world since its 1930s origins in Kuala Lumpur. The running bit is not taken seriously and beer is drunk to oil the social side. Ubon Hash, in line with the Ubon environment is laid back and only a few enthusiasts put in a few spurts of running. The rest walk. A trail is laid, typically in white powder like flower/chalk and the pack has to find the trail, which keeps the front runners busy while the walkers catch up. After the run the beer ice-boxes are opened and the socialising begins. We usually go back for some more beer and maybe some food around town in the early evening, and some more beer later in the evening, but that is entirely optional on your part!

Don't be a stay at home wuss - get out there with us and discover the sides of Ubon you would not normally uncover. It's dead cheap (100B) for your first run and inexpensive (200B) thereafter; even cheaper for Thais - and that includes free beer after, and sometimes during, the run.

I checked out the run today. Nong Kin Pen (sounds like Noarng gin Paeng the way my wife says it) is a riverside fishing village that is just crying out to be hashed.

Fabulous spot - you'll love it. About 8k from the Sisaket junction on Ubon ring road but well worth those extra few k. I can promise you a mixed trail with fishing village, rural landscapes and forest, a rustic and friendly beer stop and a circle with a river view to die for.

Don't miss it. If you want to orienteer yourself to the run-site directly then see the attached map and dir-hash-rections. Otherwise it's the Wrong-Way Cafe, Tha Phadeang at 3:45pm. We will start the run* at 4:15pm

On oooon

*Edit: loose term, as always!
