Neither one of us did complete the whole run but this is our version of what we did and saw last week:
It was a live hash - the first for some of us and so it was quite exciting because the hares were given a five minute head start before the rest of us began the hash. Nellie kept time and started us off. It was basically a road run for about half the run and then it turned further left up a hill. Since the uphill path looked rather muddy and wet and many came with regular shoes expecting a shoreline run. One large group steered away from the potential muddy path and did a U-turn back in anticipation of Founder’s night preparation.
Back at the ladies restroom, hens were clucking and adding feathers and paint whilst competing for mirror space getting ready for the odyssey in space. Founders night venue, despite being a last minute decision, lived up to expectations. Who were there - from aliens to princesses to Spock and the rest is left to your imagination. Food was superb with enough for all palettes and taste.
We received goodies on a random draw basis - torches, iron, raincoats, caps - all well appreciated. Of special interest is the list of special awards - longest run, shortest, wettest, and the imaginative list was quite long but neither of us took notes so no names mentioned here except one -Madam Sin received her 400th run award and spent it doing her hair.
It was a long night but this is only a short account of it. Bottom line is that the leaving committee did a wonderful job giving us a bash to remember and going out with a bang.
Welcome new committee!

RUN NO. 2099
DATE: 11 NOVEMBER
SITE: BUKIT SERDANG, KOTA BATU
HARES: DIZZY/(Mr) NORMA
FRONT HORN: Mad Marg BACK HORN: Cheryl
HENS: 37 CHICKS: 9
We seemed to be a bit low on numbers as the hashers gathered but as 5.15 neared, more turned up. Mad Marg was front horn and Cheryl volunteered back horn and to a pleasant surprise the run was not up straight away. We ran along the road for a few hundred meters… and then it was up. The front runners were all but half way up a very steep hill when they hit first check… There were only two options – to continue up (which was hard work)… or to go back down … so with some ahead and some on back we all checked for the on paper. Sure enough... it was on back. Cant remember who found it but Cath and her guest Felicity and Satu Lagi were in the right place. Even though we had gone back down, it only meant we were going back up the hill again but on a different trail. Yes we got the hill that we had been promised which went on up and up and up… until we hit the ridge which still was a bit up and down but rewarded with lovely views of the river... including a huge black and grey cloud in the distance.
Second check was at a split in the path…mmm... was Dizzy going to take us down into the depths of the jungle and round..perhaps stopping for a cup of tea at my house in Subok or back down. Well someone had to check so I dragged first time guest Felicity with me and we checked on down. As others checked in different directions, we soon heard the ‘on back’ call and struggled back up the hills again. The on paper brought us along the ridge a bit further and then on down to the sign in board. Just in time too as most hashers managed to come out before the torrential rain.
On on was at Dizzy’s with many first time guests which we hope to see again next week. There was a group of hashit holders this week – Dizzy (for forgetting the Hash signs last week), Mandy Webber (for talking through the shout up), Mad Marg (for selling while the shout up was on) and Sigi (for forgetting to sign in... or was it my fault as she asked me to do it for her…) They all took it is style and it was thrown by a professional… Smurf. We all tucked in to lovely food from Dizzy... posh pasta and sweeties.

Not for the feint hearted? Well i thought it was great and not nearly as hilly or long as i expected. At least it wouldn't have been had we not got caught in the dark, but first things first.
The beginning was a repeat of the previous weeks Hetro Hash for Halloween, but in the day light without Ghouls Ghosts and Gunk, had a decidedly different atmosphere. A steep hill followed and then as usual i completely lost my bearings but generally it was up down swim and pant. First and second check had been found by the illustrious before my arrival, so my contribution was at third which proved to be a challenging on back. A lot of helpful calling ensued which unfortunately hid the calling of those who had been checking forward. We almost had campers in the jungle but Melissa, Tango and others put on a spurt and caught up.
And then it started to get dark. And then it did get dark. Julia and i nosed ahead and managed well following plentiful paper and without a torch. Along some good new trails (Well done Hares) and cooling water for the now weary feet. We short cutted out when i saw street lights and recognised the nearby simpang, arriving back at about 7pm. Last ones were out by about 7.15 i think. And then it rained as it does sometimes at 7.15 in Brunei.
The run was well laid and is a reminder to us all that going into the jungle without a torch and water has its risks. We should all be responsible for ourselves without having to be reminded. I really enjoyed it and was sorry not to be able to stay for the on on. So well done and thanks to the Hares.

RUN NO. 2097
DATE: 28 October
HARES: Trish/Carol
SITE: Bukit Marakucing, Jln Subok
Halloween Hash
ghouls and goblins gathered in their annual celebration. They were joined by a new guest – from the other side of the world.
The run was notable for visiting gremlins hiding in the jungle to add spice to the proceedings.
Despite these trials and tribulations during the run, some energetic ghouls completed the run three times despite negotiating the pineapples at the end.
Riff Raff It's astounding
Time is fleeting
Madness takes its toll
But listen closely
Magenta Not for very much longer
Riff Raff We've got to keep control
We remember doing the Hens’ Hash
Drinking those moments when
The blackness would hit us
Riff and Magenta And the hares would be calling
Chorus There goes the Hens’ Hash again
There goes the Hens’ Hash again
Criminologist It's just a hill to the left
Chorus And then a creek to the right
Criminologist With your hands on your hips
Chorus You bring your knees up tight
But it's the pelvic thrust
That really drives you insane
There goes the Hens’ Hash again
There goes the Hens’ Hash again
Magenta It's so dreamy
Oh, fantasy free
So you can't see me
No, not at all
In another dimension
With voyeuristic intention
Well secluded, I see all
Riff Raff With a bit of a quick flip
Magenta Right down in the mud you slip
Riff Raff And nothing can ever be the same
Magenta You're spaced out on libation
Riff Raff Like you're under sedation
Chorus There goes the Hens’ Hash again
There goes the Hens’ Hash again
All attending made a special effort with their finery and many awards were given.
Many thanks to the hares for a splendid run with a especially heartwarming gruel to feast on at the end.
