GM Hugh honked his horn, 1630 Hours. More than 70 of us whisked off on the laterite out trail. Shitty smell was in the air as we ran pass the chicken farm.
CHECK#1 got the pack looping uphill to it. Trail went ANTI-CLOCKWISE.
CHECK#2, a circular check, was centered around 2 big water drums with a Wooden Hut. Is it the late Elvis Presley’s ? Paper led up to a confusing T-junction paper trail. FROPs and wannabes running around like headless chicken up and down a plenitude of little hills for possibilities. The rest played being statues for 15 minutes.
CHECK#3 was a hilltop check. The pack clambered through valley, hill, valley, hill, valley and walked single-file on the mid-hill sides before reaching this check. Pack veered CLOCKWISE as the tail of the S-SHAPED RUN craftily unveiled.
Heavy storm and dark, dark skies hovered the thick atmosphere. ON ON calls could barely be heard. Our no-gold Guinness SCBeed as usual. Kiasoo Pat, Lord of the Rings Awan and ‘where my nuts?’ Saru, were the BROPs! And FROPs Sen, Alister n handsome Ugly Mike popped out from out of nowhere various times, joining the pack. This is where well laid runs as this, with good loops and hilltop checks, gets the pack back running together at one point or other, save but except for, Emilia & Haversack
CHECK#4 is near a karmic stream, nice and therapeutic. The trail led the pack into a choice of Long Run or Short Run. Being a super duper good runner as I am (ahem, wah lau eh!), I looked at my 2 boys with me, and decided for the short run. Well, they wanted the long, and I, wanted the short.
CHECK#5, the pack milled around 3 Indon huts by a clear broad stream, an easy check. Paper continued into a parallel trail – one by the stream below and the other up the terrace. Gay Boy clocked in FROP about an hour half or so. Run was judged a T-Shirt run. Thank you, Dennis and Tee, you’d done it again.
Emilia’s fine. She got out of the run at 1.30am. Thanks to our responsible ones who searched for 4 hours in the dark and got her out. They are namely, Rambo, Dennis and Tee. Acknowledgements to Mothersheep Hugh, Don Chuck Wow and Shirley, for waiting up so late with drinks and back up light. A great day of camaraderie, heroes and victim, but that’s not all….
Kamekaze Dave, Terry, their women and dog were recceeing at Leprosy Camp in the storm at time of run. Dave lost his dog, finds it in a 20 Foot long Python. He cut open python. Dog came out, alive, yes, alive. Question:
Does this mean we may have snake soup sare-karng on Halloween Run? ON ON

Herr Knut is away visiting his daughter in Great Britain who has recently made him a grandfather.
The poor man is still getting used to being a grandfather and so I agreed to scribe this report in his absents.
In was a long rainy day and traffic to get to the site was easy. Parking was ample and run directions was clear enough.
This run was set by very experience hares Christopher Boyd and co-hared by John Duncan.
Between them they have more then ½ century of hashing but still managed to get lost while setting the run. Hence, the actual run was not the run they expected to set originally.
It was a rainy day and many hash papers were washed off during the rain, thus causing some hashers to loose the trail. However all eventually arrive back to the run site safely.
Several hashers including Gail were lost for a while but managed to be back by 7.30pm.
There were 7 checks in the run and were broken quite easily. The first runner was back within the 1 ½ hour target for runs to be classified as a good run..
The circle was well attended by hashers who were entertained by several hash 'bomo's'(Hash witch doc's) . Candi was seen parading in her pink number and clearly missing Herr Knut.
The On On was at the usual Chinese restaurant just before entering Serendah town on the left . The dinner was fully sponsored by the hare including two bottles of beer per table. A very generous gesture for an Englishman . The meals were excellent and quickly downed by the hungry hashers.
The run was judged a Tee-shirt run and Christopher contributed a joke and John Duncan sang the lobster song or a version of it partially.
Nan , then revealed that Christopher Boyd lost his car while setting the run . Apparently, he had arrived early and while waiting for John Duncan, he decided to go for a 'walk about' with his proton wira and then drove into a ditch. He then decided to leave the car and set the run first before collecting his car . However, after setting the run, he could not remember where he left the car. Finally, he decided to thumb a lift from a fellow hasher after the OnOn and send his driver the next day to look for his car. Seems like all didn't go well for Christopher but he managed to pull it off quite well indeed.
All together, it was a very good run, good food, and good entertainment. Thank you Christopher for the excellent day
