run 2025

Date: 12 June 2007
Site: Spg 370 Jln Muara
Hares: Sarah C/Madam Sin
Front Horn: Magic Roundabout (how did I know? I found her calling on first check and yours truly found the on for 1st check!)
Back Horn: Alice in wonderland (who did a sterling job)

I always look forward to a hash at Simpang 370, a chance to get into the jungle on a well worn and pretty track before too much more of it disappears.   Just as most were leaving home for the hash a persistent shower seemed to arrive over the area, as a result a light rain began and remained for the hour that is lady's hash, the rain seemed to cool us off and reminded me of the South African saying " a monkey's wedding' which is said when we have rain and sunshine at the same time. In saying that as we entered the jungle due to the dense coverage of the canopy it seemed as if someone had dimmed the light and reminded me to bring a torch next hash,  mental note!

Once again the checks proved valuable to the back runners as we had a chance to catch up to the front ladies.  The run provided a great cardio workout with lots of climbing up the hills and a little climbing down to catch our breath. 
We arrived back to Sarah's house to a tent which came in very handy due to the slightly increasing precipitation - although,  after running in the rain for most of the run  and the sweat on our bodies we really did not care or notice too much.  Naj welcomed the runners back and dressed up as the Queen with a pretty ensemble, a tiara and all! Including a  belly dancing wrap ?? for a modern twist to help the Australian's celebrate the Queens Birthday Long Weekend, which the English celebrate on a different day, poor Elizabeth seems to have many birthdays each year.   Naj seemed much relieved to find that she could finally get rid of the hashit  and Gordon and Amanda Sparrow were called upon for not signing in. (see Hashit column for real reason— ed) They sat huddled and quivering together on a chair as they were drowned in refreshing cool bucket of water that only needed a squirt of hair shampoo to make it a truly enjoyable experience.   I always  love a bit of controversy and it raised its head as Maureen Shaw's phone rang a tuneful song as the shout up began.  There were many calls for the Hashit for Maureen and her sponsor.    Their defence was that Maureen is not really a member and therefore immune to the hashit.  Hmmm!     This little item will have to be sorted - perhaps after the 3 introductory runs (4th run), anyone is then entitled to the hashit and it is up to the sponsor to explain all this during the 3 introductory runs. Many thanks to the Hares for a lovely run and some yummy curry puffs to warm us up and fill our bellies.
