RUN 2015 - 2 APRIL 2007

RUN NO. 2015
SITE: Bukit Markucing, Subok
HARES: Carol/Trish
FRONT HORN: Claire with assistant Mandy
BACK HORN: Mad Marg
There had been slight confusion as to where the run was going to start as we knew the on on was at Carol’s house but the run? After some clarification the hares were convinced that the run must start from Markucing or they would risk the hashit if the coop was to cross the road! Sorry hashit holder Madmarg (you have to keep the hashit a while longer) – we have been kind to our hares – so hashers please do read your hash rules, they do make good bedtime reading when you are desperate for something to put you to sleep!
I arrived early as was anxious to make sure the run started from the right place and was intrigued as to why the starting sign was at the lower car park. I had paced up and down right up to the usual starting steps and could not find any “on” paper and when Glamour and Veronica L arrived to start their walk – they indicated that it was just close by towards the road! It sure take some seasoned hashers to be vigilant…… We had also been warned about keeping on paper especially when checking as there were lots of paper around but we did not find find too much paper around (I guess the hares having been lost for 6 hours while recceeing could not remember where or when they saw the paper!).
Then we had the next drama of having no horns, so we improvised with a real whistle for the back horn and Mandy as the whistling horn with front horn Claire. Off we trotted at 5.15 towards the main road and then veered left to a new bulldozed cutting up the hill – of the many hills – on to the ridge. We huffed and puffed and stopped and started (for the walkie talkies anyway). A sign soon appeared for short and long runs and only a dozen hens braved the long run down into the valley. We dipped into the jungle – what a relief – some shade. First check was called and as it was in front of a tree fall “on” must be up to the left which was found by Sarah B.

We then wound around the forest, up and down over logs and trips with second check found by Readymix. By this stage the front running orientals Readymix, Jenny and Trailblazer were quickly bearing on third check which was found by Jenny. Front horn Claire and Mandy caught up as we headed back up the ridge. A few – just a few - more ups and downs before we were out. I think the hares forgot to warn shorties to only go up to first check as there were a few logs that needed long legs and acrobatic stunts to get over. Great run hares and we then headed to Carol’s for the on on with “hot” laksa to follow.
