RUN NO. 2051

DATE: 11 Dec 2007
SITE: Subok 67
HARES: Trailblazer/Trish
FRONT HORN: Kathy
BACK HORN: Karen Mc
HENS: 21

There was a small gathering tonight as most hashers had headed off for the Christmas Break.

The horn went and off the ladies headed in to the jungle. I was still getting my footwear sorted out as I had left my good shoes behind, but in hindsight it was Just as well with all the mud, glorious mud we were going to encounter along the trail!

I ended up at the back of the pack until I reached first check when at this point a few hens decided to turn back what a wise decision that was. First check was found by Tango down the ridge. The rest of the ladies continued down the hill and across some flat land when Amanda decided to take a slightly different route and landed in the mud up to her knees which would have been a good camera moment. At this point everyone was in good spirit and we were on a very nice trail headed now down the valley when the wind started to pick up and then within minutes the heavens opened and it started to rain …..Rain …. Then it pored down!

We were just over half way at this point so there was no going back. We continued along the trail which was fine until we started to go up the first hill which was very slippery and that when Nancy lost her footing and started sliding down the bank, she was very lucky there were a few trees around that stopped her going to the bottom of the valley. Between Alice in Wonderland, Nancy and myself we were covered from front to back in mud with all the slip sliding up and down the hills. Towards the end of the run Trish & Karen came in looking for us - what a relief to know we were nearly out of the jungle in one piece. . It was a marathon mud hash. Thank you hares for a memorable run.

*The less adventurous hashers gathered huddled under umbrellas hoping our cars would not get bogged and planned our best routes home in case of flooding. All the while the hares were looking for lights hoping hashers would be out soon.
The hashit went to Trailblazer and Trish for forgetting a H3 sign last week. And a double for Trailblazer and Alice in Wonderland for leaving their towels in the jungle.

NEXT RUN: Morley Movers - Spg 591 Jln Muara, Kg Tanah Jambu
HARE: Mad Margz/Never Wrong

Hi Fellow hashers
I am back, just in time for tomorrows run. Sorry I missed last weeks run (NOT !!!!) Sounds like it was an adventure. We went to the hash in Fiji, also a rainy night, due to the imiminent cyclone, but we didn't run as Mr hasher had brushed against a nasty plant in Brunei and had an allergic reaction, had to go to the doctor in Fiji and get antihistimes etc.
On On

Tks Magic, good to see some comments, other hashers should get more verbal.... They might vent their frustrations out.
on on Trailblazer

P.S. I do know of a few hashers who do look at the blog to see where the run is.....
