WRITE-UP
Hi all
Bruised Willie delivered a special 20th anniversary run, complete with boat trips, beer stop and a wonderful On After setting, hence so many pics, see:

Over 50 hashers, including 10 Bangkok visitors and 5 virgins braved the weather outlook to meet at Prannatee Seafood Restaurant, recently renamed Im Arroy (like full of yummy food), perched on the northern side of the Pranburi River.
Hashers clamoured into dodgy looking longboats with a mix of glee and trepidation as light showers began. They got heavier as we headed into sea, then north towards the recent H2H3 site from Head Ballcock and Hong Ting Tong. Now we know why Bruised Willie was so late back that run, he was doing a recce at the same time.
The boats dropped us off at the wrong spot due to a) the inclement weather or b) misunderstanding, take your pick. After mild confusion, the rabble trudged north called on by hare on the run and grateful that the rain had stopped as the Hash Gods smiled on us yet again.
Finding paper, it didn’t take very long for runners and walkers to reconvene at the first check. Milling around like zombies on vacation, some bothered looking for paper, including Mudman who suggested we call the hare for guidance. Paper was then found beyond a security barrier and the swarm clamoured over and onward.
The rest of the run was mostly bush, with some dirt road. The walkers felt deprived of the view that the runners enjoyed. Enough checks kept the runners together and they got to the beer stop just after the walkers had moved on to board the boats again.
The run was rated 10, more out of gratitude for the novel boat trips, beer stop and it was all free. The circle took a while with so many visitors and virgins, who Rubber Duck badgered into promising to come again, before Bruised Willie conducted the shortest AGM in CAH3 history.
Most hashers stayed for dinner. The kitchen and waiting staff struggled a little but no-one really gave a toss, as everyone was relieved to have made it back in one piece to enjoy a delightful On After setting.
On on, Donga
