It was a strange afternoon, starting with a very slow journey up Jln Ipoh, we eventually got to the Round about near Batu Caves which was totally jammed up. When will the Malaysians ever learn how to use a round about? We decided to skip the roundabout and continue on Jln Ipoh to Rawang, a decision that turned out to be fortunate because just as we neared Serendah we got a frantic call from Nan that the beer truck was broken down in Serendah and could we go and collect the beer. As luck has it a few other hash vehicles soon appeared as quite a few had made the same decision at the roundabout.
As a aresult with traffic and beer we arrived quite late at the run site and only set off at just before 5pm, never to see a check and with no chance of catching the main pack.
So what about the run? It set off to the left along the road and then turned left again into Palm Oil before emerging back to the original road a 100m from where we went in. Judging by the amount of torn paper there may have been two checks in this small area.
The trail then followed the road for quite some distance with one section of torn paper so posisbly another check. It was a bit open and hot for my liking. We then turne dinto the Palm Oil for a short ection with one more check before emerging onto road again where trail split short/long. I took the long as I could see the short was going to be very short as we were almost back to the usual parking spot.
The trail meandered around a bit before we dropped into a creek. Here we had what seemed like 2km of up creek running. Followed by some road, concrete paths, bitumen, a bit of bush and then more road running back to the cars.
On On was at Lucky Light where the Singaporeans treated us to free beer and chewing gum. Thanks Juliana and Eloise.
The run was judged an On Down.
