This report has got to be very short for no other reason than its now 6.30 Friday morning and we have to get this thing typed, copied and delivered by 12 noon. It. may he an unknown experience to most of you but a few of us also have to do same work on Friday mornings.

The run was in completely new country starting from near Baniyatar which is about 2.5 km north of the ring road between Balaju and Maharajgunj. At 5.10 on a very hot night we thought all had arrived so our hares Young and dough led us off along the road to Tokha. Even NELLA KCIR was there. The first check was after about 300m and up about 50m on a slope facing south. Most of us were knackered by this time so we stopped and watched the latecomers arrive while Stone started his own irrigation scheme. Dave Shannon started chasing snakes “Are they dangerous” he said; “Not as dangerous as some of the ones you find in Bangkok” came the reply. Bransky kept scratching around a nearby house, we think he smelled a women inside, until the latecomers arrived to swell our members to 19.

We then started to look for paper. It was a back-check which took us downhill but then up a magnificently steep slope to our second check at the top. The ones who thought they were being smart stayed at the bottom - no chance, our hares were too smart for that. On our way down the next slope we were stoned by a few brats. Zonneveld was sent back to deal with their mothers and we didn’t see much of him again.

Soon afterwards Scholey jumped off the edge of a 10m paddy bund without his helmet on and damaged his ankle - we told the fool he should never take it off - he finished the next stretch of the run in company with a multitude of sympathetic locals who thought his limp was the funniest thing since Ganesh got his trunk tied in a knot.

After this we went on a wide sweep through some good checks and back to the Bishnumati River. Here the faster ones found paper on the home trail and got back early. The others (not slow, just consistent) were directed to the last loop by Hare Clough. The beer was good but we had some chariots marooned by a newly dug irrigation channel. The demonstration of cars being driven out of this predicament was a sure sign that nobody brings their own car to the HASH.
