RUN NO. 2440 SUBOK 309 26 may 2015

Run No. 2440
Date:26 May 2015
Site: Subok 309 PILOTS WIVES CLUB
Hares: pee wee n friends
As predictable I am wide awake at 5 am local time. So here goes n hope it gets to you in good time.

SUBOK 309 PILOTS WIVES CLUB RUN.

We had been asked to be a few minutes early n so most were already milling around when I arrived with usual basket in hand n rushing to get changed. 

The hares with their team were glamorous in their 2015 vogue designer uniform n some even managed heels. Bunny Girl rallied the "crew" and "passengers" were briefed with safety procedures! Havent seen a songkok so well adorned - collective talents galore entertained the hens before the horn sounded n off we went towards the usual n unavoidable ridge.

Luckily after the first up up up up n once on the ridge the gentle down home was pleasant n threat of rain did not materialised. With the down by the waterfall n gardens we were soon home for more entertainment by the "crew" including a quiz on airport codes. PVG and SGN got a few foxed although a couple managed full marks. Gifts were awarded to the winners including those who found "aeroplanes" during the run.
Two new members were welcomed n hashit given to"jenni OTB".

Cocktails with assorted flavored peanuts had earlier greeted hens as they came back to the tent. A meal served "on board" style went down a treat n the evening continued as usual under the stars with some finishing quite late into the night. Thank you ladies for a fun Tuesday evening.

I promised to send a bit of a report on the Thirsty hash as I landed in Liverpool. It was fortunate the once a month last Thursday hash was near Sticky Rice's digs so of we went looking for the named start point "The Peerless Brewery". An interesting start n on on venue n expectations were high. Mental note "Is this what Smurf gets up to when she is hashing at home". Introduced ourselves to a few hashing looking people n were soon sitting around having a half? This is new - we haven't even started walking let alone run? At about 7 pm done watch looking began n remarks of finishing up n starting the hash was heard. We soon set off and gathered by the entrance for a photo n then it was off on the flour trail. The run was through streets n very different to hashing as we know it. Great views of the city across the Mersey n a few regroups n we were soon home at the brewery having covered 4miles. Miles? Oh yes forgot they are not quite into the metric business. Being May it was great to be in the light n not requiring torches. Circle was at the street corner with all 12 of us doing the usual down downs with refreshments brought in a bag! Then to the brewery n snacks produced by the hare. Great company with few members who obviously have been on the international scene judging by their t shirts. As it was the first day in the UK glad Julian and I managed to stay awake and headed home by 10 by taxi and the train. A quick good night to Sticky Rice and a note to meet the next day. An interesting experience!

Enough of ranting now. See you all in ten days. On on

RUN NO. 2439 DST 19MAY15

RUN NO. 2439
DATE: 19MAY2015
SITE: DST
HARES: WILMA/SAM I AM/ELOISE/LICKER


We all gathered at DST ready for nice little run, only to be informed that it was a 6.38km run!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just what I needed after almost 3 hours in the jungle the day before, recceing over tree falls in dense bamboo.

Anyway, off went to horn and we set off down the way we came in and then off to the right. Down the gas line we went  On and on and on and on. Through a nasty swamp, and then on and on and on. Straight down the gasline. There had been a check off to the left and the paper wasn’t very well laid through, it was still going two ways, luckily our combined hash experience got us through this potential disaster.

Basically we carried on, then did a u-turn and came back up a path that was sandy, then gravelly and finally concrete. And that’s pretty much it! The shout was very well conducted, as usual, by our trusty JMs. Out came the hats, and three hashers got new names, Wilma became ‘Super Trouper’, Kim became ‘Over This’ and Tiff became ‘Patsy’ - run darling, there’s booze at the finish line! Which I think is what most of us are thinking as the horn goes at 5.15. A very hearty dinner was provided - thank you hares.

This week we ask that you turn up at least 5 minutes before check-in, enjoy the journey - and Come Hash With Us…….

RUN NO. 2438 DIPLO 12MAY15

RUN NO. 2438
DATE: 12MAY15
SITE: DST (PYJAMA RUN)
HARES: PSYCHO/RIPPER/TONI/KARLA (Two virgin hares)

H3 Psycho-Gang Payjama Has Run was a beauty!

The usual Tuesday night crowd of keen, fit, and very attractive looking lady hasers of Brunei, eagerly gathered together to hear the usual H3 Pre-run report.

The night began with the Duchess of Cambridge assisting Smurf to maneuver her car around the Hash tent in order tor the after-run refreshments to be placed in the correct position, ready for consumption.

The two terrific JMs then proceeded to announce that the run would be approximately an hour long for the front-runners. Well, it was that and a little bit more! There were lots of "checking calls" heard in the jungle throughout the run.

The run had everything... hills, mud, sand, water and also beautiful, think jungle that only  Hashers in Brunei get to enjoy every week. Where else in the world would you rather be?

After H3 runners had returned from the jungle and individuals were adequately hydrated, the call was heard to ... "Gather, round... Gather round".

The 'Shout Up' consisted of numerous exciting announcements, down-downs, a joke and celebrations that only happen at H3. The highlights included Peachi Keen receiving her 50 run pewter trophy goblet, a well aimed Hashit Water Throwing Ceremony and also the exciting news about a '7 Hash runs in 7 days' event that will be happening in the near future.

(Never Wrong finally got out at 10.45pm after help from H4 boys, and friends. She was in good spirit and well. Around a dozen H3 ladies waited for her arrival after three sweeps by various groups. Somehow NW decided to do a bit of extra training for her Mt K assault this weekend and ended up some ridge away from H3 paper - Ed)

WHAT HAPPENED IN THE END ……


SO HASHHOUND WAS DRIVING A FEW PEOPLE BACK AND FORTH AND I CHOSE TO GO BACK WITH THE ESKIES TO PUT THEM IN SMURF’S CAR AND WHILE I WAS AT IT, I MAY AS WELL GET THE SIGNS, THE SIGN IN BOARD AND THE CLEAN PLATES IN MY CAR TO SAVE ME THE HASSLE LATER ON.

I DID TRY TO DRIVE MY CAR BACK TO THE ON ON SITE. OH IT WAS A SHITTY EXPERIENCE. I ALMOST GOT STUCK IN THE SANDY SLOPEY BITS. 3 TIMES. MANAGED TO GET OUT AND TRIED THE HIGHER UP WAY. TURNED OUT THERE WAS A DEEP DIP DITCH THING. BLOODY 4X4 OBSTACLE COURSE. WENT BACK WITH HASHHOUND WHO TOOK ANTONIA, KARLA AND RIPPER BACK, SO ANTONIA AND RIPPER CAN BRING THEIR CARS IN.

LO AND BEHOLD. HASHHOUND AND ANTONIA RETURNED. BUT WHERE WAS RIPPER???

(INSERT SOUND EFFECT: TUM TUM TUMMMMMMMMM)

WE PACKED UP THE REMAINDER OF THE HASH : SMURF AND TRAILBLAZER AND HEADED BACK OUT.
TO DISCOVER RIPPER’S CAR WAS STUCK IN THE SANDY SLOPEY BIT

AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS OF PUSHING, DIGGING AND PUSHING, THE CAR IS DEAD STUCK

PSYCHO TO THE RESCUE. CALLED MY BOYS TO TOW THE CAR AND AFTER THAT IT WAS A WAITING GAME.

SMURF, TRAILBLAZER, RIPPER & I INAUGURATED ANTONIA INTO THE HARDCORES.

WE MAY AS WELL HAVE A FEW ADS WHILE WE WAIT FOR HEROES TO THE RESCUE
WITH CHAIRS OUT AND ADS IN OUR HANDS WE CONTINUED THE MERRIMENT AT THE BEACH.

UNFORTUNATELY IT WAS TOO DARK TO TAKE PHOTOS AND WE WERE HAVING TOO MUCH FUN WATCHING THE BOYS GETTING RIPPER’S CAR OUT.

REWARDED THEM WITH ADS.

WE ENDED THE NIGHT WITH "EVERYBODY GOT THEIR THINGS? LETS DRIVE OUT TOGETHER".

LOTS OF LAUGHTER AND OH THAT WAS FUN AND BEEP BEEP ON THE COASTAL HIGHWAY

NEXT WEEKS RUN IS A PYJAMA PARTY WEAR YOUR JAMMIES AFTER THE RUN BRING TEDDY ALONG

HASH RELAY #16 26APR15

HASH RELAY #16 100 YEARS OF ANZAC
HARES: H3 well assisted by DON FOULKES & LONE RANGER
DATE: 26 APR 2015
SITE: DIPLO
TEAMS ENTERED: 22 X 4 LEGS

Felt it appropriate that a few photos and words should be published for such a memorable and great run. All within the Upper Diplo site (for how long we will have access to seems to have the days numbered as contractors building chanceries and residences sprout closer and closer to the top) - A clever masterpiece with no transport involved and even points where you could cheer your team mates along on the other legs! Hash day started with hares and helpers arriving at site by 8 a.m.

Some photos for your enjoyment and again a huge thank you to Don and his family for the many hours recceeing and planning, and Lone Ranger giving up his  late afternoons and weekend to be with his hash family.  Also a big thank you for the support of other hashes in Brunei, especially BSBH3. Well done to the H3 team for running a great hash.

For the record: Hash Relay #14 - 2007 Hash Relay #15 - 2014 Hash Relay #16 - 2015

RUN NO. 2436 LUCKY GARDENS 28APR15

RUN NO. 2436
DATE: 28 APR 2015
SITE: LUCKY GARDENS
HARES: ALISON/CHARYL/BLACK BEAUTY/RECRUITER




I know I know one should write the run reports sooner, now I'm not sure if what I'll write is off the Hash Relay or of Tuesdays Hash. Both quite memorable.
 
Its been a while that I've been down in Lucky Gardens and I always enjoy it. Lots of jokes made as we stumbled in, since we were missing quite an amount of ladies who hashed the Hash Relay on Sunday, the other half struggling up the hill. Comments made and laugh salvo's heard and we were only on the first hill.


 
First check was found and the back horn was honking....bloody hell I'm sincerely getting slow. Being injured hobbling to the woods made a lousy front horn, nearly swopped places with the back horn but she wouldn't have it.
 
All checks were back checks and well laid, expected from weathered hares! Sneakily placed. 
A beautiful trail on not too obvious track send all hens in and out with a smile. A good little workout with front runners barely making it out before the pack. Where a wonderful pasta awaited the hens after the On-On....things were said, a new member was called (I believe) and a first timer briefed well. 
 
Hashit was given to Peachikeen....don't ask what for, but it was well taken.

Next weeks run will be Dutch 70th Liberation day celebrations, the hash will be slightly different where checks are replaced by stations to be passed and concurred. 
 
Tungku beach, surfers beach side to park your car and the start of the trail, with the On-On at the second beach and  4x4's ready to bring along your change of clothes and shuttle back to the cars after. 
 
Bring a swimsuit if you fancy a dip and wear Orange or Red/white/blue. Peace be upon everyone!
