RUN 2016

Run: 2016

Date: 10 April 2007

Site: Spg 378 Jln Subok, Kg Sg Akar

Hares: Trailblazer/Judy/Tina

I arrived at the site just in time to get the last car park at the bottom of the hill, lucky old me! It then transpired that this was the very spot all the late comers were going to turn their cars round at. Oh well, somebody was bound to ram into me, I would collect the insurance and buy my BMW. Dream on, cries Smurf, who assured me that the insurance on my car wouldn’t buy a BMW, even in a match box.

Up the hill, sign in, and on command of the lovely Naj we head off into the jungle. Madam Sin was whittering on about Scotland and bracken, as far as I could see we were tramping over a pile of weeds. That soon took us into the jungle and some lovely paths. The run was very nice, the checks were fiendishly clever. On the traverse from second to third check it became very apparent that I needed new boots as it was a slippy slidy hillside, but very pretty. The whole hash was out by six o’clock. Well done to the hares.

The shout up was the usual chaotic affair with two guests welcomed, returning hashers welcomed, and three hashers given hash handles, which caused the body of the kirk to spontaneously break into song. We had a wonderful rendition of “ We’re all off to sunny Spain” followed by “ They are changing the guard at Buckingham palace” rounded off with “ I’m a Barbie girl”. Hash handles were given to Alice - Alice in Wonderland, Magi - Ms Spain and Cath Doolan - Legally Blonde.

Then the fun really started with Madam Sin’s birthday presents which she pulled out of the box and explained the purpose of each gift to much hilarity all round. The said hasher then entertained us with a brilliant presentation of that well known classic “ Rindercellar and the ugly blisters”

Thank you to all the people who contributed to the great food and the yummy chocolate cake for the birthday girl. A lovely evening which carried on long after I went home. Gordon had sworn off beer for life by Wednesday morning, well maybe till tonight.

Judy celebrated 300 runs, Trailblazer 250 and Tina 200 runs respectively.
