Haring the trail for Kaohsiung Hash's 51st
Weeks of scouting Pingtung County, a trail through betelnut trees and long grass, and crossing out my own start T's.
51st Anniversary of Kaohsiung Hash House Harriers @kaohsiunghash in 2024. Youโve got to celebrate in style. ๐น๐ผ๐
What an honour to set and hare my first trail for the anniversary.
The pressure was on. Weeks of preparation, exploring Pingtung County before work and on weekends. Walking through betelnut trees, public parks, deserted paths, open fields and long grass where snakes live ๐, places Iโd never stepped foot on before. Trying to piece a trail together, practising the route, remembering where to place the chalk markings. Getting lost more than once along the way.
On the anniversary weekend, everyone took the train from Kaohsiung to Pingtung to begin. And before it even started, I accidentally crossed out the Tโs at the beginning. Youโre meant to leave them as a start mark. Technical catch. Great spot! @dominc563129 Slightly gutted. ๐
But the trail needed to be run and it was a rewarding feeling to see everyone set off on something built through exploration, getting lost and a lot of walking around in the heat.
Three trails on the day, runners, walkers and strollers. Embracing Taiwanโs nature together. ๐ฟ
Hereโs to many more.
