Taiping Hash: August 19, Suzhou Stone Lake


Camel and Catch-of-the-Day lead us on the ultimate summer-time run
in the scenic Suzhou countryside, only a 90-minute bus ride from
Shanghai.

The run will follow the hills surrounding Stone Lake, with
spectacular panoramic views. For more details about the place, see
here: www.shihu.com.cn/jy.htm; and here,
www.china.org.cn/english/features/woeld_heritage/99264.htm.

There will be a long / short split, so both runners and walkers
should finish in a little over an hour. The run is A to B and will
finish on the shady, tree-lined shores of Stone Lake.

As always, please reply to jeffreypwilson2002@... to confirm
so we can determine the number of buses and the bash reservation.
Please reply by August 17.

We will fill one bus and then see if there is enough people for a
second bus. Those on the bus so far are listed below
