Return of Don Knockout !
After the last misadventure from our bumbling duo, Penny Lame & Penny Pincher, less said the better!
Knockout charges back directly from his Don quixote adventures with his sidekick Max Factor with a whimper to save the day, A sense of adventure in the air or was it the black rain clouds on the hills!
With sacks of shreddies, 10 kilos of chalk and 10 km of bright yellow tape even stevie wonder could see! The intrepid duo set off Thursday morning to set the trail, chalk, paper, tape something on nearly every pole in samor prong, nothing could go wrong!
2 ½ hrs later trail finished job well done, ground still dry, but not for long as most plans they soon unravel, light rain turned to a heavier prolonged downpour very unusual sight in hua Hin.
2 things that don’t mix water and chalk! So plan B from Penny lame with a tear running down his leg, back again to remark all the arrows again!
86 Bar and restaurant had done us proud with discounted beers and Free water. A big shout out to them for an excellent evening.
As the moonies gathered in their overly orange t-shirts and attire, our 20 intrepid moonies set off not knowing what to expect this time!
A mix of moonies from our youngest Kirsty full of energy to our oldest Cathusulum with a lot less energy!
Would they get blinded by the new yellow tape or forget everything and stop at the nearest pub?
Down a short rd to the dangerous Bridge 8, south along the klong road, FRB heading off, followed by bite mark, easy off, and the stray pack of walkers, false trails and checks ahead, thru a building site and a left turn out of town, where are we going! Into Tipperwan and a welcome sight the beer bike, with cold refreshments waiting, but wait a moment where is our usual 7/11 stop?
Don't worry there will be more than ample 7/11 beer stops on our Anniversary Run and 7/11 Dash.
With everyone busy drinking we seemed to pick up a straggler. A young boy had followed the walkers, and in a flash disappeared with one of our mouth watering beverages, an opportunist he surely will grow up to be a politician.
As darkness fell and nearly all this time had managed the beer stop, mentioning no names Golden rain who realised she was afraid of the dark and remembering she had ordered food headed back in.
Was a quick pace from runners and walkers because they had been promised a large beer and food awaiting they soon scurried back. Hash question Can you do a circle when food is around? Answer No, from experience shorter the circle the better or no circle at all!
A positive response from the moonies, that's a change maybe the beer lightened their mood as they tucked into the food and chatted into the late evening.
See you all next month on our Big Moonies 1st Anniversary & 7/11 run. How the hell did we survive this long!
