Run 1506-Hares:David and Charlotte Park
Scribe: Teh Suat Hoon
It was the usual Saturday run which started at 4.30pm under the very hot sun which is typical of the weather around Chinese New Year. Prior to the run the hashers were required by the Grand Lady of the Langat Fishing Seafood and Beer Garden to park their cars in a very orderly and structured manner. She should be a German and not a Chinese! Guess what? Hashers being hashers they got their own way and parking was done in the manner they are use to non structured but still acceptable to all.
Since scribe was nowhere visible on the run the report is done through the eye’s of others.
As usual for that area, the run goes uphill, and after a short coasting along the ridge, the trail went down into the flat area on the left, very near to the houses and factories. There were loops round orchards and ponds before the climb up to the home trail. It first went along the ridge of a well trimmed orchard with houses in the valley. It is a lovely view here. On hitting the tarmac road, the front runners zoomed down to slope to return well before 6pm.
The run may be even better as viewed by an experienced hasher had the hare took the home trail to where the houses are in the valley, heading for the communication tower. Well I guess it is easier on hindsight to suggest improvement.
The hares have graciously provided pâté for the runners after the run and was told it was yummy. Circle was conducted by the Grandmaster and Jointmaster and was told the Grandmaster in true hash style celebrated his girlfriend’s birthday with flour and eggs on himself. Wondered whether the grandmaster ever thought why waste good ingredients on him, maybe he should put it to good use like baking a cake for his girl instead? After Hugh Murray’s announcement about next week’s BYO on–on, the Germans, labeled as cheap skates, were on–downed. Marlies Tjaden and Petra sat on ice, while Klaus Gehihaar and another were enjoying themselves on their laps. To prolong the agony for the ladies (but joy for the men), Peter Brooke and Paul Smith told jokes.
