Run No: 1398 : 29 December 2003

Venue: Taman Bukit Subang
Hare: Colin Sheppard
Co-hare : Jimmy Legget
Scribe : Robin Cox

A familiar venue with plenty of running area. After all of the Xmas festivities it was nice to go to such a nearby venue and start to run off some of the excesses of the previous few days. Another bonus was not having to think too much about how to get to the run site.

A good crowd of runners turned up and set off out over the back of the run site down into the oil palm. The first check took some time to break but eventually was with On On called to the right. The pack continued running in an anti clockwise direction through a couple of other checks which were set so that in breaking them the pack was well held together.

At the far point of the run the pack had to break the second last check which led to a steep climb up at the edge of the jungle. This spread the pack out a bit. At the top of the hill the pack quickly came upon the last check at the newer Indian Temple at the edge of the jungle. This check had your scribe going off in the wrong direction as I was convinced that the co-hare, who was the architect of the run, would follow his familiar trail along the edge of the jungle then on left back to the run site. Alas I was wrong as the hares took the most direct route back to the run site.

All the runners returned in pretty quick time after a good run. A lively circle at the run site before the crowd headed off to the On On at the Garden World Restaurant.

As I recall there were 7 tables at the On On and the food was the usual good standard at that restaurant. The downs downs seemed to go to the usual suspects.

The run was judged to merit a T shirt, after some cajoling of the crowd by the co-hare (or was it bribery!!!!).

A good night as I recall.

If this brief account of what happened bears any resemblance to the run you were on it is merely coincidental.
