Still sunny here (Chelmsford). And yes, Jerusalem was quite a challenge. I went a few times, seeking out less harrowing routes, but with no great success. I saw a few judgement-impaired running through heavy traffic though, didn’t choose to join them, however.
I would say conventionally when you say something is moving clockwise you would say it is moving to the right. This is just a convention that you look at a clock from the “top” (outside) and you look at the hands when they are at 12 o’clock.
If I want to describe a rink or dancefloor, I would use the same convention. I owuld imagine I am hovering above (not looking from the center of the Earth). I think it is safe to say clockwise = to the right in most people’s minds.
Running (jogging?) to scr4’s defense, and risking putting words in his mouth, I’ll say that I think he’s making sense.
When you walk up to a jogging loop from the outside, you must turn to the right in order to begin travelling counterclockwise. I think that’s the right turn to which he’s referring.
Oh, now Floater, that just won’t do. Half the excitement of hashing comes from not knowing where you’ll end up! You should convince your local group to give A to B a try sometime.
