In spite of leaving K.L. at 3pm, I arrived at the runsite to see everyone only just taking off. By the time I set off it was already 4.40. Ah well.... Actually I needn't have worried coz when I reached the first check which was up on a slope on the right, the check hadn't been broken yet. In fact it took a good 10mins. before it was. Emannuel passed me and said, "Was it your Run last week? It was bloody good coz in more than a year, it was the first time I was able to keep up with the front-runners as it was not too hilly and it was a runner's run." Well thanks, Emannuel!
The second circular check took even longer (15 mins.) to break. Finally on-on was called down the slope to the left. This was when our darling GM took a fantastic tumble bringing down a few trees with him! We went right down to the river and crossed it where a lot of paper was stapled to a tree. Was this another check or what? People were climbing up the steep slope on the right. This was when Amelia, Charlotte and I decided that, as it was a Rambo-assisted run and the time being 5.20 at that juncture, we ought to turn back. So we did.
Back at the runsite it had started to rain quite heavily. 6.20pm and no sight of any front-runner on paper yet. Abraham trudged in at 6.40ish and said that in spite of checking at a 200m radius from the check (the 4th), he could not find paper. So he turned back. Rambo said that there were 5 checks in all. Pity becoz Rambo would have engineered a super run but something must have gone awry somewhere.....
I hope Don who took a nasty tumble while setting the run has sufficienty recovered .....
Part II - The Cirlce & On On
By Hugh Murray
Having been reminded that I had agreed to write the scribe report for the Circle and On On, this is what I can remember.
The Circle started very late as the pack straggled back to the run site very split up. Their lateness being dependant on when they gave-up the run. Did any one actually come home on paper having completed the run? The GM was one of the last to finish and eventually called the circle to order shortly before 8 o’clock. The main advantage of this late start was that it had stopped raining Amongst the charges were
The hare was immediately iced for keeping the GM away from his wine and pattie and/or failure to control. the weather and or failure to control the co-hares and set a run where the checks could be broken.
Uncle Looi for directing Nick Morss to check in the wrong direction and then not calling him back when the check was broken
New shoes
There were announcements for Bangsar Hash – already history (next one is 29Jul08 in Bukit Tunku), Torchlight on 5 July 2008.
Down Downs for visitors and guests not going to the ON ON.
Before directions were announced the GM promised severe punishment for the person who had stolen his umbrella. Luckily we all escaped except the GM, when it was pointed out to him that it was resting on Ramli’s truck, where it he had placed it.
ON was at the Lucky Light the second time in a couple of weeks, but I am not complaining as I like going there. Six tables had plentiful food, some bribery from the hares, free beer.
A large number of guests and visitors meant plenty of down-downs. Eventually it was the hares turn. Despite the run being totally messed up there was little complaint from the pack and most people had enjoyed themselves so they escaped with a toilet seat and not the ten weaker they were expecting. Triple On was called at the backyard – I don’t know if anyone went.
