RUN NO. 2400 DIPLO 19AUG2014

RUN NO. 2400
DATE: 19 AUG 2014
SITE: DIPLO
HARES: PSYCHO/RIPPER

I’ve pretty much spent the last week in the jungle, and as a result of this am finding it difficult to recall last week’s run……….it’s slowly coming back to me, let’s see what pops into my head.
 
Hash Hound took front horn and led us off at 5.15. Off we trotted, up Bill’s Ridge, a nice easy start to a run. I fail to recall anything about first check, other than that it was found and the paper was laid through.
 
Second check however, did its job and brought us all back together, a false on-call was made, but Wonder Woman was convinced it was a back check and in the opposite direction to where the false call was made from. Insider info? Ha, I was with her and agreed with her as we knew it wasn’t a long run and the other call was taking us away from the on-site, we used our hash brains and found the proper on-paper. I recognised where we were, as did Sid, the run bore some similarities to an H4 run a couple of weeks ago.
 
So third check was a no brainer, the paper was out in the open at the bottom the valley, all we had to do was follow the clear footprints the hares had kindly left for us.
 
On we went, to find another sneaky 4th check, again it was fairly straight forward, either up the hill - which was not a good prospect as it was rather boggy, or on to the right. In we went to join the out trail, a gentle up up up and we popped out almost in the tent where we were greeted with a lovely tropical refreshment. Sarongs were the order of the day, and every single hasher managed to wear one.
 
We had a great shout up, a lovely little sing-song and a lovely gift, topped off by great homemade makan. Thank you committee for another great run to mark our 2400th run milestone. We hope you enjoy tonight’s run, suitably short so you can enjoy all the British girls have to offer! On on

RUN NO. 2399 SPG 462 12AUG14

RUN NO. 2399
DATE: 12AUG2014
SITE: SPG 462-105 JLN MUARA, SG HANCHING BARU
HARES: ZOE/WONDER WOMAN/PAULA
FRONT HORN: HASH HOUND     BACK HORN: CJ

 
First hash back after the holidays and late as usual, the traffic on Jln Muara from the roundabout to the Simpang seemed to be busier than ever. I felt a bit comforted when I saw others going in late but still had to make the decision of whether to go all the way round or just to first check.  
The words said it was a lollip so I joined Ripper and in we ran with the pre-conceived idea that the checks would most likely be laid through and we could go round quickly.  The rain kept us cool which was what I needed after 5 weeks in the UK and we soon came to the first set of yellow paper where yes.. the first check was laid through.  
Still no sign of any other hashers so we went on and on, in and up and down; we ran until we came to the second check (we knew this because there was another set of yellow paper), it was already getting dark and so we followed what we thought was the on-paper. 
Next we heard some other hashers..pleased to have finally caught up, we called back, to be told by Ready Mix…’I think we are on old paper’.  Getting darker by the minute, we went back to the second check and we followed the alternative trail, only to find a lovely set of freshly laid white paper waiting patiently on the floor to be found.  
 
By now there was a core group of us…Ready Mix, Trailblazer, Ripper, Never Wrong, Rosalind (who was later welcomed as a new member), CJ ( Back horn) and yours truly so we stuck together and laid the paper through.  The rain was making it quite dark and by the time we reached third check it was late already. 
 
Still, with nearly two weeks since the first day of Raya, there was some natural light as well as a handful of torches, where we had to guess which of the many trails would lead to the out trail.  2nd try lucky, and we were on the on-paper, bringing us to the familiar housing and the start of the lollipop.

Back at the On-On Site, I am sure the hares were relieved to see and hear us singing up the road, with only our group being successful in completing the hash properly.  Hash Hound and the rest of the coup had been led out on old paper to an alternative Simpang.  
 
The shout up was light hearted and there were several calls for hashit – could we give Alice in Wonderland who had signed in and out under the wrong name, crossed it through and reticked herself? Could we give it to Hash Hound as front horn for leading the coup on to old paper? Could we give it to all the hashers that insisted the old paper was the correct paper?  We must have been feeling all warm and fuzzy as no-one was given the hash it but Possum claimed the empty bucket and chuck for next week – so beware! 
Shout up was followed up with scrummy pasta and garlic bread – just the carbo loading needed after a dark wet run – thank you ladies.
Notices given included – advertising the Kids Hash at Diplo 24th August and next weeks run – wear a sarong - to celebrate ladies hash' 2400 runs.

NO. 2398 MENTERI LINK 5AUG14

RUN NO. 2398
DATE: 5 AUGUST 2014
SITE: MENTERI LINK
HARES: TIFF/TRAILBLAZER/PEEWEE/DUCHESS

Once upon a Tuesday
On a hill not so far away
A flock of hens were clucking away
On the hunt for white paper they say

In a flock they clucked
Up hills and down
Over logs and on ridges
They clucked. What a sound

Checks were found
Wonderwoman, Hotlips and Somebody
And something about bells
That were passed along as well

The water was inviting
Tho nobody bathed
For it could have been pissed in
By cocks, pigs or men

A drinks station was up
Free drinks to all
Nothing beats a free bar
Other than free food eat till you fall

The run report was short
So I added it on
Always good to be back
To the hash where one belongs

So that's the report
Or the gist of it
So C U N T
Hopefully you get it

XOXO
Psychoooooooooooooooo

RUN NO. 2397 DIPLO 29JUL2014

RUN NO. 2397
SITE: DIPLO
DATE: 29 JUL 2014
HARES: BLACK BEAUTY/BUTTERCUP
FRONT HORN: HASH HOUND   BACK HORN: ALISON/CHERYL

A very small group o exactly 15 hens gathered for the run and no sign of a tent.

Off we went after Hash Hound on the front horn, down the valley and along the stream.  We soon came across a tree fall and first check.  Trailblazer went on ahead while others went back and across and "on back" found by Sue was called.

More pretty trails with lots of old paper around and we were careful to ensure we were on fresh paper although there had been a bit of a downpour earlier in the afternoon after the hares had laid the paper in the morning. Along the stream we went and 2nd check was called by Jances with her guest (not first time) in tow.

As promised there was only one sort of an up and were all out in about 40 minutes. A good workout but still no tent in sight.  Duchess of Cambridge had invited the hash to have the onon at her house and after a quick decision by JM Hash Hound and all out, we moved to Spg 462.  Shout up was quick and easy with no guest, no hashit, only a reminder that hash relay was on Sunday with signing on starting at 10.30 a.m. and the first leg at 12 noon.

We then feasted n smoked chicken with salads and cheese and homemade mango chutney. Thank you hares for the grub, and a welcome return to laying of many more runs by Black Beauty.  Most left early and some managed to stay till around 10 p.m.!
