The Ides of March Run Run #1017 on Sunday 14th March 2010 Hares: Pencillus Diquous, Knobbus Quackus Location: Long Thanh, 11 kms down the Vung Tau Highway, left and in 10 kms or so. Being the Ides of March, this will be a TOGA run. The Hash Bus departs the Caravelle Hotel at 2:00 pm sharp every Sunday, rain, hail, snow or shine. o O o Recent Run Reports #1015 - The Lost Hare Run "A different (better) bus greeted Hashers at the Caravelle. The inside was certainly an improvement,but the bus driver didn’t seem at all happy. We headed out towards District 12 where we’d been about 6 months ago. A brief briefing then we dodged motorbikes and jumped on board the cross-canal ferry. On the other side another brief briefing before the runners took off led by hares Trigger and Comes In Style and the walkers strolled away with Tall Red and virgin hare Blendina. The trail took us along leafy lanes, torrid tracks in the sun, between ponds of water lilies and perambulating paths. It was hot! Runners crossed the walkers a few times and each time the walkers’numbers swelled. But towards the end things started to unravel. The walkers came to a..."(read the rest). #1014 - Back To The Full Moon Run "An unbelievably huge crowd turned up at the Caravelle for our first full moon run in over six months. Somehow, we managed to cram everybody into the bus, but it was a tight squeeze (which pretty well described Street Peddler by the end of the evening). Luckily, Mrs Nghia had turned up with the big bus after all. The beer was still a worry, though. After traversing a maze of dark, unlit roads in District 2 just off the Cat Lai road, the bus reached the assigned start point. Once lone Hare Pencil waffled through the run briefing, told the walkers that they were on their own (although he left his little yellow buddy with Street Peddler) and the pack was off, stampeding through the darkness in search of the elusive blobs of flour. In a surprise move, Basil Thrush experienced an attack of ... "(read the rest). #1013 - The Crouching Chicken, Hidden Tiger Run "Where do I start? It was an incident filled run from before the start to after the finish. With the Hares arrested while setting the trail on Saturday, our Hash bus sporting a broken side window, no GM or Ass.GM in attendance we set of from the Caravelle in a comfortably full bus and headed South West along the new highway that parallels a totally polluted canal. Now remember, every time in the past 3 years that we’ve headed South West there’ve been problems. We arrived at the start point followed in a car by Tall Red, Sheep Sub, Street Peddler, a virgin and Lucky the dog. Before the briefing could get underway, one of the visitors, Silent But Deadly was struck in the back of the head with a sizeable lump of...

It revived many funny memories and brought to mind just what a great weekend it was. If there is any criticism of the DVD it was too short! We missed the Friday fun and the Sunday Liver Cleansing run, but it was still a very amusing diversion. We piled off the bus as a train roared past and Two Dicks gave the briefing. Then we headed off into the smelly trail between pig sheds. In fact, if you can believe Stray Pussy, it was putrid to the point of...

In addition, you'll need your run fee (VND180,000 for expats, VND100,000 for locals, 10,000 for ankle-biters) and optionally a change of clothes. For more information e-mail us at the address above. [Disclaimer: Hashing is not without its risks. Political incorrectness, snakes, feral buffalo, quicksand, tropical diseases, shiggy, monkey bridges, hostile natives, unexploded ordnance, incurable STDs, cirrhosis of the liver, irate villagers with pitchforks and burning torches and litigious lawyers are but a few of the hazards we intrepid Hashers face on a week-to-week basis. By participating in the Hash, you agree that you fully understand the risks involved. If you are injured, you agree that you will not sue the Saigon Hash House Harriers (The Hash) or hold anyone else responsible who is involved with The Hash.
