RUN NO. 2187 - DIPLO - 20 JUL 2010
RUN NO. 2187
Front Horn : Ruthless Pursuit Back Horn : Claire ( the sax player )
Sarah, Danielle & I headed off in the rain towards Diplo & actually made the horn this week which is a rare thing. Tango, Speedo & Ruthless Pursuit off again at lightning pace. They were slowed down at the first check tho’ with hashers going off in all directions in search of paper.
Finally Sarah found the trail & we were back on paper with Speedo & co having to first find their way back through the jungle after the search.
I tried to keep up with Ruthless Pursuit but there was no holding her back. The other front runners had soon caught up again & were fast overtaking until we came across the huge log which slowed them down. There was another way around which a couple of us took & I was surprised to find myself once again up the front, thinking that if I kept up the pace going up towards the ridge I may just stay ahead.
Ruthless Pursuit was spotted returning from the 2nd check & we turned back at this stage to follow the trail going in the opposite direction & back on paper. Danielle & Squeek just up ahead & we came out first with Tango & the others not far behind. A great trail with a bit of everything thrown in !
Back to the tent where we celebrated Smurfs 550 runs & Possums 200th. Lolly scramble followed with Possum giving out chocolates & then we all enjoyed the salads & chicken that the hares had done.
Sarah & I had to collect the signs & I jumped out at the lights & ran to get the last one then disappeared down the drain ! Must have been funny to see but my knee so sore I wasn’t laughing & worried that I may be out of action for laying next weeks hash.

RUN NO. 2186 - TANJUNG BUNUT KANAN - 13 JUL 10
Sleazy Gardens is such a lovely site to run from with the lovely pool area and good off the road parking.
At first there didn’t seem to be many of us but then Squeak got an SOS call from our newest members to confirm then were heading in the right direction. … So with their arrival Ruthless Pursuit beeped her horn and we were off.
Tango was back from her holiday and off she went at lightning pace up the hill with Ruthless Pursuit hot on her heels. As we were going up the road we could see some more hashers driving past.
Into the jungle and across the wee riverbed, around the bull dozed corner, up the hill and . . . “Checking from here!!!”. Tango faithfully ran on, people started checking and I managed to go back down another big hill and faithfully search away.
OK – 10 minutes still no paper found - - Squeak took over “Checking from here” and Ruthless Pursuit runs ahead to assist Tango . . . 15 minutes - - still no paper. Gathering around the check to discuss possibilities and Speedo and Alice in Wonderland advise they think they found paper further back but thought they’d heard the cry of “On Paper” earlier on so must have been wrong paper. . . . So back down the hill we start heading and they run on to find the On Paper!!!!! Yay – 20 minutes check!! Poor hares we find out afterwards were faithfully waiting in the jungle to lay the paper out and watched us dally around!!
So onto paper we headed through the jungle, over the rivers and I’m sure my right foot found every boggy muddy marsh available – even up to my knee at one point trying to extract my foot to not lose my shoe. Back out onto more bull dozed trails and out the way we came in.
Back to the pool and I do believe most ladies jumped in the pool!!! Absolute bliss!!!
Then time for the shout up and we celebrated Mad Marg’s 350th run!!!! And also had the hashers up who did the interhash in Kuching for a down down. Speedo told some brilliant jokes – (and yes I parted my curtains on my computer before starting up windows!!).
To our hares – thank you for the wonderful food – yummy chicken drumsticks and homemade pizzas to die for!!!!! And of course – New Zealand lollies brought back by Mad Marg – YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY – EH WINA!!!!!!!
Thank you for a lovely run, food, and hospitality. Although our numbers were smaller than usual it was a lovely hash!!!
NEXT RUN: Diplo

RUN NO. 2185 - JLN DADAP - 6 JULY 2010
One of the many waterfalls we passed by.
RUN NO. 2185
Well I arrived late as usual to a lonely Hash site and the vision of cleared Jungle in front of me.
Off I trekked into the juggle saying to myself for the 4th week that I must get a new pair of Hash Shoes ones that actually have rubber stops and not like my current tired shoes.
It was not long before a could hear voices up ahead and letting out my usual On On call a reply came echoing back. I stumbled across Madam Sin, Smurf and Possum like the three musketeers ,who had only been in the jungle for about 7 minutes and had advised me they had already taken 3 wrongs turns, it was now more like 3 Blind Mice!. Off I ran to try and catch the rest of the pack, it was Trailblazer who advised me in a motherly tone as I ran through , I hope your taking this all in for the words, my reply was of course lots of green and lots of water.
I don’t recall ever so many water crossing of various sizes and degrees of difficulty – “All Good I say”!
In fact I noted that at no time during the whole run the sound of running water could not be heard, this was very peaceful and soothing. As usual Dadap had enough mosquito to eat you alive so no time to dawdle.
I made good time and back to the camp site. My apologies to those who took on the horns and those who found the checks as I did not record this valuable statistic, as I was kept rather busy at the Hooley Dooley Barr.
(Two new members Elaine and Shantal were welcomed to the coop. ED)
Great Run Ladies and really Yummy Tucker, thanks heaps.
On On
