The usual long drive after coming off Jalan Muara and over lots of “sleeping policemen” the usual site at the top of the hill was dotted with cars.

We had been warned of a slipper beginning if it had rained—but no rain so far that day. A steady climb up along the waterline that flowed from the top and we gingerly clambered over slipper rocks, some with running water which was soothing to our quickly heated feet.
First check was found ahead by Jenny and the small pack carried on again up through some pretty trails. Once at the top the view was rewarding as we surveyed Serasa for some recognisable landmarks. The 4.30 p.m. ferry from Labuan was spotted so we were up there around 5.45 p.m.!!

Second check took a while to find as it was a sneaky back check which was found by our JM Readymix, as though she was last in was first out. One of the bonuses of being at the end of the pack, as yours truly was 2nd out followed soon by the rest. The track back was down, down, and down and we could soon hear the buzz of those who had taken a short option and was back at the site.

We had been in on the out before and I must say the way round this time was much more easier to the top that the daunting sight of the up, up, and up you see as you start off.
At the shoutup Bini Hutan was welcomed back to the hash after being away since August, and new member Kiera welcomed.

Jane treated us to yummy Indian fare, vegetarian dhal, curry puffs, rotis and rice.
Hashers were reminded of the actual 2000th run next week to bring a plate and dress in pink or purple or both for the on on at DST.—Trailblazer
