RUN NO. 2405
DATE: 23 SEP 2014
SITE: KAPOK KANAN
HARES: SQUEAK/TWINKLE TOES AND ROSALIND
Well here we are again, another
Tuesday, another hash! But there’s a slight difference coming my
way …
Hares TT/Rosalind/Squeak
Oh bliss, as of this Tuesday no more
mad rush from RIPAS Hospital to a hash site, no more horrendous
traffic queues just trying to leave the staff car park, no more
changing at the side of a road, no more worry about getting up on a
Wednesday morning!!! The life of leisure awaits and I can’t wait,
but before this I have to report for you my last hash as a working
lady and of course this follows an all too familiar pattern – woops
not hydrated as no time to drink at work, caught up in traffic, late
to site (although this week at least I wasn’t late as it was school
holidays), changing at the side of the road but as my other half
keeps saying to me “not for much longer!!”……. Hurrah
Just before we all set off we were
advised that the hares had communicated with the JM with a cryptic
message about the out trail not being the out trail and first check
yellow paper and second check pink paper and maybe even something
else was said but it was lost in translation! 5.15pm saw the few
hashers, 29 I believe setting off from the usual car park of Kapok
Kanan, led by Ryvitta on front horn and Peahen on back horn.
It’s school hols and our numbers have
reduced but the determined and none holidaying hashers have turned up
for this last minute stand in hash very kindly organized by Squeak
and Twinkle Toes again. Well done ladies and anybody else who hasn’t
laid a run yet this year get yourselves sorted and sign up to lay a
hash!!!!! See Trailblazer
It’s up and up we all know it is, but
which way up and which way down today?
But no the hares have added a twist to
the usual Serasa hill run after the tarmac hill we head straight on
into the grasses, missing the cement steps and pondok, is it first
check but no sound of calling is heard by myself and my co-hare, so
it’s on into the MUD!!!! Serasa Hill runs are usually reasonable
free from mud as little water can collect on it’s slopes!! But
today those Hares have found some very suspiciously smelling pools of
it just for us. Floating weeds/grass and more muddy pools as we
continue on the flat trail but it has to go up at some stage. Walking
along I’m reminded of the men’s hash spotting crocodiles along
here somewhere so we kept our eyes scanning the vegetation but
spotted no more than a lizard…. Thank goodness.
First check was at the end of the flat
part of the run and was found by Aladdin’s Dream
From first check to the out I am
reliable informed that it was up and up although one hen said that
this route up was more gradual than the usual route??!! Any other
opinions? Unfortunately as myself and Cheryl started up the hill I
got spasm/cramps in my upper thigh … it’s my excuse and I’m
sticking to it so we encouraged those that passed us to continue on
as we turned back to re-negotiate the MUD!!
From the top of the ridge the hash was
tempted by the hares to go looking for the on-trail over the other
side but I believe Mrs Pingu promptly found the on-on at second check
and lead the hens safely back down off the ridge from the view of the
bay, back to the cement steps and bridges that lead down to the car
park again. Everyone safely out or were they?
Miss Goody two shoes and her guest
(Maggie) were last out using torch and phone light to negotiate the
steps and final down stretch of the run- well done ladies and it
didn’t put the guest off either!!
Guest Maggie
The shout-up was casually controlled by
our hard working JM Hash Hound with a burning chilli induced mouth
(thanks to Ready Mix), and followed the usual format …… Thank you
hares, guests, announcements – remember if you want homemade pasta
or pizza go to the new stall at Times Square, entertainment and
hashit.
REMEMBER sign up early to be a member of the best mismanagement
team in Brunei.
Guests: Maggie – from Tutong
originally welcome, welcome, welcome
Entertainment: None
Hashit: someone was left in the jungle
as she forgot to sign out!!! (INGRID... I believe) but I’m sorry I can’t remember your
name maybe Hash words can help me out? Well taken and superbly given
by our JM
Thank you ladies for Serasa hill,
lovely delicious On-On and a great night’s hashing
So this weeks run
as advertised is an OAP- retirement run, sorry I have to keep
repeating it…. I’m a lady of leisure!!!! as I just can’t
believe it has actually happened. Well at least I’m retiring from
active employment although I don’t feel like an OAP just yet. Back
to our favourite hash site Upper Diplo and the run will have all the
usual components of a Diplo hash ….. trails, jungle, rivers, ups
and downs, follow the instructions if you’re feeling your age and
look out for some of the useful aids for the ageing hasher on the way
– please if you find one bring it out with you but leave the rest
for others to find.
On-On and enjoy
NEXT RUN: DIPLO
HARES: ALISON/CHERYL/THE RECRUITER
