Hash Run #20 Saturday 9th March 2002
Joint Run with Bangkok Hash
"Order some fine weather" said one of the Bangkok Hashers when the unexpected but much needed rain which started on Thursday and continued on till Friday, threatened to spoil the weekend of fun and our annual joint run with Bangkok Hash on Saturday. But what it really did was paved the way for a cool, crisp and delightful running weather on Saturday.
At 16:30 sharp, 50 or so hashers (15 from Hua Hin) gathered at the run site, 18 kms before Dolphin Bay resort. The run site was surrounding by endless undulating hills, pineapple plantations, orchards and villages. On On was called by the GM of BH3 and within minutes we were all heading towards the shout of On On rather than paper until we emerged on the one and only obvious paper trail. As we headed along the paper trail, we noticed that some walkers had a head-start and were in front of the pack. Now this head-start didn't last very long as the numerous checks halted them and reluctantly they struggled along from behind.
We were in and out of the pineapple fields, orchards and beautiful running trails until we hit a nasty false trail up a thorny and stony hill. With the short-cutters who intelligently circumnavigated the hill and shouted On On from below, nearly the whole pack who followed paper were cursing, swearing and masterminding how to crucify the hares. Once were got down hill, everything were forgotten as we headed into Moo Moo country and started admiring the ranch style of living in Thailand. The cows were out to play at that hour and weren't home yet, so we managed to speed along without any cow traffic ahead.
All the checks were easily broken by the front runners led by Tom, Vinai and May. The home run was along the mango orchards and am proud to say, the Hua Hin Hashers led the way. First batch of runners came in slightly over an hour and congratulated the Hares, Gus, Brian and Bill for a great run.
A joint circle was called by the GMs of both Hash Chapters and on downs were given to the Hares, returners, visitors, misers and defaulters. Before the circle came to a close another run was already planned for tomorrow at 10:00. Hashers never stop!
On On was at Dolphin Bay Resort and in the usual hash style and spirit, drinks were flowing and hashers were mingling around catching up with the life in Bangkok and Hua Hin. All in a great weekend, great run, great company and great weather!
Next run for Hua Hin Hash will be on the first Saturday instead of second Saturday in view of the Songkran Holidays, 6 April at 5:00 pm. Hares - Pimpa and Mike. Contact May at 032-513855 for further details.

two meets

San Marino - April 14th
Imola Course Details
Circuit length: 4.93 km
No of laps: 62
Race distance: 305.559 km
Lap record: Ralf Schumacher (GER), 2001, BMW Williams, 1min 25.524
History
Imola has a special atmosphere as the "tifosi" bring their own brand of support to the pleasantly-located parkland circuit. It takes its name from the legendary Enzo Ferrari and his son Dino.

Originally Imola was a fast, power circuit but safety worries produced a number of chicanes. And then following the deaths of both Roland Ratzenberger and Ayrton Senna in 1994, major modifications were made. These brought changes to Tamburello, Villeneuve and Variante Bassa to meet FIA requirements.

Spain - April 18th
Catalunya Course Details
Circuit length: 4.728 km
No of laps: 65
Race distance: 307.125 km
Lap record: Michael Schumacher (GER), 2001, Ferrari, 1min 21.151
History
One of the most advanced circuits on the grand prix calendar, the Circuit de Catalunya is modern but also has character. There are a variety of corners, a short straight and a long pit straight.
The circuit was first used in 1991 and was also the centre piece of Spain's Olympic year in 1992.
The circuit and its facilities are constantly upgraded by progressive management. Last year enlarged run off areas were built at several locations, together with a modification at Nissan.
Demanding fast corners and a long high-speed straight makes this a real test.
