Hare: Nick Morss
Co-Hares: Mary & Mei
Runsite: Ulu Yam Baru (Border)
Future Hares – be warned your sins will catch up with you. Nick Morss has been running with PHHH for years (maybe decades) and this was the 1st time he had to set a run. Oh yeah……the Hareline may be slow but it is sure and will find you out some day.
Since this was he 1st run he thought he would do it right and find a new area – which he did but it is on the border of some known runsites. At least he was able to enlist the expert assistance of Mary (who had no choice in the matter) and Mei (who is no longer speaking to Nick).
After selecting the area they became the recee business. They went in 5, 6 or 7 times. It takes a lot of recees for a new area. The last recee was done the night before. They went in at 2:00 pm and came out at midnight. Appears they got a bit lost. Needless to say they did not share that information with hashers until after the run.
As to be expected the stupid hashers had difficulty getting to a new runsite. It is is not Bukit Subang or Ulu Yam Baru football field they are a lost lot. They were driving all around the vegetable gardens and enjoying the burning of trash but eventually they all gathered at the appointed runsite. Our illustrious GM of course parked in the most remote area of the runsite. He is either trying to hide something from the hash or trying to imitate Daniel. As to be expected at a new runsite with major hills looming in the background their were a couple of good moments prior to the run:
Colin Hercus looks it over and makes a expert decision. “No thanks – I am outta here. Going biking”.
Cops come to check us out because there is no doubt we look like a bunch of bandits or whatever it is cops look for (other than coffee money). Not to worry. As usual, Colin did not have Hazel under control and she immediately went into the Attack Mode against the cops. What the hell they left.
After climbing to a small mount so his frigging head would be higher than ours the ever honorable GM gave some meaningless instructions and sent to hashers off to fend for themselves in this hellish area which we were soon to find had no paths. It was duly noted that an advance guard consisting of Wolfgang, WanKing and Uncle Shag proceeded prior to the designated time of departure. They would pay for this later.
We roared off sharply on time at 4:37.29. Trudged across an open area and followed paper up a dirt road, around a corner and to the top of the hill……..naturally to the 1st check. Being the cunning devil he is Uncle Looi did not fall for this old trick. He roared down the road, found paper within 200 meters and called On. Good Job Uncle Looi for breaking the first check. Allister was standing on the top of the hill 200 meters away with that look on his face of “Why did I drink so much beer last night at The Wall?”.
However, Allister was soon back in the heat of the run and after a small stream crossing solved the 2nd check up in the bush. We pushed on through rubber and bush. A hot day but good running. Finally we came to a major waterfall that most had never seen. Needless to say there we found the 3rd check. Several took advantage of the waterfall to cool down some hot bodies. It was mostly the lads but a couple of the braver lasses provided short time entertainment.
While most of the crowd was being lazy (enjoying the view, a bit of gossip, smoke a cigarette, cup of coffee) Rob Stott and one of the JMs was off checking to the distant right. Joel (bless his hard heart) finally broke the 3rd check by climbing up the bush next to the waterfall. We were back on trail and struggling in an upward position. Uncle Shag had disappeared.
After reaching the top of the waterfall we found the highlight of the run. It was a roaring stream in a crevice that supplies the waterfall. It was pretty good going – refreshing is the word the lasses used. It might have been a little tight for some of the bigger lads but no complaints were heard. The dawgs on the hash had a bit of problem but what the hell – that is WanKing and the others worry. It was noted they all returned.
From this point onward it was over hill and over dell which were all covered with heavy bush. We bashed on. We cut our legs. We cut our fingers. Some even cursed. We finally reached the top and had a nice view. We were very glad we were not out there last night until midnight like poor Mei. That bloody Nick can be such mean guy. There were three more checks which Charles Lee was kind enough to break. All were reasonably well connected. It was a pleasant descent from the peak back to the parking lot. We could very well see those that had already got back to Ramli. They were lolly-gagging around drinking 100 Plus and cooling down…….while we were still struggling. Bastards.
Two highlights at the end of the run:
Kuan went all the way around. A surprise? Maybe not. It has been said Kuan will go all the way……under the right circumstances.
Uncle Shag returned with his Harem at 7:50 pm. (heh, heh, heh)
Any connection?
Allister had worked all the alcohol poisoning out of his system and was 1st Runner in at 1 hour 33 minutes. Very respectable.
It was a tough but good run. The hashers all seemed to enjoy it and it was eventually awarded a Tee Shirt as it should have been.
Eventually the circle was commenced with On Cash Barry being in charge. However, Gary Murrell had to serve the beer. It appears Emilia was too hung over to do her normal duties. You reckon she was at The Wall with Allister the night before. I hope so. Very charges were brought forth to the attention of esteemed Hash including but not limited to the following:
Vicious Mike for putting on an “exhibition”.
Aileen for displaying a leech on her ample chest.
Ron Brooks for trying (in vain) to avoid a Down Down.
Uncle Shag for spitting on the run and is now referred as Mr. Disgusting. Where did he learn such habits?
Don Percival for ignoring the GM when he was in trouble. Good decision Dan.
Winstantly for destroying nature during a “tree cleaning” slide down a hill.
Uncle Shag roars into the circle trying to give the Hares a down-down but ends up having to do one himself. Sometimes there is justice in this world.
All in all another good run and circle for PH3. Mei left the next day for China.
I am not sure why I had to do this wonderful Scribe Report. I was told by “Management” (ha!!!!) that it was my responsibility because I was the Hare Master for the 1500th Run…..and this was the next run. That doesn’t make sense. I was the Haremaster for the 1500th Run but I didn’t go to the run. I frigged off and went to Canada for a conference. Hell – I didn’t even do this run.
I remain your Obedient Servant,
