Write-up - DHL

Cute Boar Butt says “Off you go”, waving the pack off. On cue, the heavens respond with a deluge. The pack is in dilemma… the Hare says go, the heavens say no? Wave 1 of the pack ventures forth, Hopeless, Lost in Space, Toilet Boy and Just Johana. It’s raining so hard; it can’t possibly get worse. Co-hare and birthday girl Prefers It Wet getting what she wished for, in spades. Another attempt by CBB to push the pack off, and wave 2 of the pack rolls out.

It’s an instant soaking. Ok, well let’s see what the hares have for us. Advertised as a “straight-forward trail, just follow the green ribbon and hell money”, the pack quickly realizes the level of deceit in that guidance. Up into Tai Tam above Quarry Bay and then off the roads and onto the trails. Up a long stairs with literal rivers of water coming down while we push our way up. Cum to stairway closed gate, single file slow duck around it… learn at bash that the hares had great fun tying the gate shut with a simple bit of ribbon, never suspecting the mindless pack would not realize we could have just opened it!

Some contours and hillsides and false trails later, the rain has finally slowed to a drizzle instead of a downpour. We are flying down Yiu Hing Rd, come to the big bus stop and little plaza, see a last mark coming into the bus stop, and then… nothing. Everyone’s looking, at least 3 people (yours truly included) scout further down the road, finding nothing. “Trail” called, down that same damn road that was already scouted. Here the story gets murkier than the mud squishing out our shoes with every step.

Allegedly a couple of the pack found trail off the side of the road just a bit below the bus stop area, but the rest of us never saw anything and just flew down the road, expecting to see marks any step now. Realization kicks in about a half mile down that we’ve come wayyyyyyy too far down the road without seeing any marks. Too late and too far to turn around now, so we limp our drenched butts back to A.

Notable VIP arrival back to A of Octo, DHLv2.0, and friend, rolling directly up to the waiting pack and stepping out of a taxi! Shameless!

Bash at Thai canteen, featuring good times roasting:

- CBB and PIW for the wettest trail in living memory — wetter than T8 and T10 trails!

- Taxi riders

- Hopeless and LIS and rest of wave 1 brave souls

- Double DHL double fun

- CBB for her command over the heavens, clear RA material with that control over the weather!

- PIW for both her dedication to the LSW hare, calling in sick and even going to doctor to sell it to lay trail, but also for missing the start of her own bday trail 😊

We finished up bash and circle with the traditional song, followed by Octo presenting her homemade chocolate cake with decaf coffee frosting (so thoughtful!). Hashy Birthday wishes for PIW. Another terrible, wonderful running of the LSW, great to see it running strong after 4 years away for this writer.

Cheers, DHLv1.0
