Front Horn: Carol Back Horn: Claire

An eclectic gathering of hares, of all shapes, sizes and sexes gathered at our favourite hash spot for the 3rd run of the annual 7 in 7 event. Sunday hosted by the Sundowners, Monday the Tutong hash, Tuesday the ladies turn to host.

A very small gathering of lady hashers turned up to greet our guests but our fellow clubs made up in numbers what we lacked. Under perfect skies the horn sounded and we were off into the jungle on what we thought was a well trodden trail that we knew well.

A quick trot up the path and our first shock as devious hares had laid a trail sharp left down a narrow goat track that I had never seen before. We plunged into a sandy valley and soon 1st check was called that had first runners in a tizz as we spread out in all directions looking for a possible on trail. Those of us on the valley floor were disinclined to back track up that soul destroying path, and hoped that back runners would do the deed up top. As nothing was called through I had by now found a stream bed heading in and up so followed this which led to a couple of small ridges and valleys only to hear the on paper call somewhere above me. No choice but to forge on up a well cut path through asparagus looking ferns, this path I recognized as having only ever been down it before and steep it was going down,, never mind having to pant up it and the run just begun. Now we were back on the old familiar trail along the top ridge but the hares were not finished with us yet, 2nd check was a back check into yet more unfamiliar terrain and seldom used paths along side a stream. 2nd check was found by a gumbooted Tutong hasher and 3rd check was a communal effort lead by our own zippy Carol and a Men’s hasher trying to confuse the trail.

Shout Up proceeded, and we had the pleasure of welcoming 5 “well endowed” ladies from another hash. Down downs were given to GMs and JMs from other hashes, as well as a “Happy Hasher” from the Labi Rd hash. No hashits were awarded, the 5 ladies insisted on being “ladies first” when the food was served. And so we all settled down under beautiful clear skies for another evening in the Brunei jungle.

A good run, enjoyed by all, and worthy of any runs laid this week. Well done hares !!
