Hash Run # 34 Saturday 8 March 2003 Hares: Doug & Poo The Elephant Run
Though Hash chapters throughout the world are famous for running in varied conditions, including real jungle, its not often that the more sedate Hua Hin Hash finds itself confronted by jungle creatures. Hare Doug had called for the Hash to meet at the Cha Am Forest Park, fronting Hwy 4 just before Cha Am on the road to Hua Hin. It was a cloudy day and quite breezy providing a delightful cool setting for the run. While waiting for late arrivals the hash was entertained by viewing a variety of winged creatures in the Park's aviary, including peacocks, pelicans and an unidentified raptor. At 5pm the pack of twelve was off in a gentle run through the surrounding trees and then the nearby countryside, comprised mostly of light forest, bisected by several canals and streams. Doug is nursing a knee injury and the run reflected that. It was a kinder, gentler run, which had frequent back checks and false trails, keeping front runners May, Colin junior (as opposed to hasher Oxygen, who is definitely Colin senior) and Tom together with the pack (and sometimes behind). After thirty minutes May managed to break free on the run in (with Colin junior diverted on an impromptu bird watch) and lead the pack in. All finished within five minutes, including 10 year old and 11 year old nephews of Khun Jit.
It was here we encountered the elephants, three fairly young specimens brought over to entertain foreign visitors at Forest Park. The circle was called and down, downs to the Hares, returnees Winfred and Renate, and (so Doug claimed) short cutter Tom. A hash name was given to Oxygen's mate who will now be known as Carbon Dioxide, (does this mean dangerous with prolonged exposure)? For the On On we strolled over to the Park's outdoor restaurant and had a delicious and inexpensive Thai meal with Doug keeping the mosquitoes (and some adjacent diners) away with his cigar. On On On was at Jit's Chicken Coop and the party continued. A very nice run, even better On On and in-growing Hua Hin Hash tradition, an excellent triple On at Chicken Coop. Thank you Doug, Poo and Jit.
Next run will be moved up a week due to Songkran Holiday and we will be running at 5pm on Saturday, April 5th. Hares Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide. Come and enjoy with the Hua Hin Hash.

Another Hammering for Hinchester

Stamford University fielded a strong side with some excellent ball players, who proved far to good for Hinchester in an eight a side match staged at the University pitch.
Three blistering shots and a comical own goal all in the first 20 minutes proved too much for the visitors. Hinchester put up a better performance in the second half. The final score 4-0.
The match was the opening attraction for a mini food festival presented and produced by the students up at the Palm Hills university.

6th Brazil - Interlagos
Course Details - Circuit length: 4.309 km, No of laps: 71
Race distance: 309.024 km. Lap record: M Schumacher, Ferrari, 2000, 1min 14.755
History - Interlagos was the home of the Brazilian Grand Prix in the 70's - then an awesome test with fast banked left-hander and a length of 6.92km (4.3 miles). But after losing the event for a decade to Rio the circuit was reshaped. Now it has been modernised and shortened to 4.325km (2.684 miles). But it is still a demanding test for both car and driver.
Modern facilities for teams, media and medics have ensured its place on the calendar.

20th San Marion - Imola
Course Details - Circuit length: 4.93 km. No of laps: 62. Race distance: 305.559 km
Lap record: R Barrichello, Ferrari, 2002, 1min 24.170
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.
