Cars rushed by at frightening speed as the hens gathered by the entrance to the waterfalls.  We were reminded to be mindful of those fasting and hide the drinks.  There was a choice of runs – short one on pink and a longer one on white.  Peachie Keen started us off.  Up the hill we huffed and puffed (with no houses made of wood to blow down, only trees – Oh just a minute we are hens’ not little pigs)  Both pink and white paper took us up the long hill, then across the bulldozed road and continued up the hill again and down.  There is a scientific rule in life – What goes up must come down! We practiced that rule a number of times before the run was over.

Hornbills in the jungle

Pretty trails

 

I think Hash Hound found a check but as she escaped after the run I didn’t get chance to ask her.  The paper split and the short run went down the hill and I presume out by the stream.  The longer run was on a familiar path that enabled those so inclined to run, or for those who like to plod/walk and talk we could!!!  Thanks to the hares for being thoughtful and giving us a lovely run suitable to all our needs and preferences.

Then the adventure started.  It was like the amazing race ladies style trying to find the on on!  But I must say the signs were very helpful.  Once we gathered at hornbills abode we were welcomed with a shot of rice wine.   Might have to change our name to “ladies shot hash” with all these lovely surprise drinks we keep being given.  There were amazing smells coming from the kitchen too.

Hares

 

The JM’s started by welcoming a first time guest brought by Satu as Trailblazer (hare) was blazing through traffic.  Then they thanked the hairy hares for a great run.  We were celebrating Gawai.  Lots of photos were taken of Hornbill and her “house boy” (as TT named him for the night) dressed up in tribal outfits.  I love the fact that I get to celebrate lots of different things at hash and learn about other cultures and traditions. 

 

It was announced that there is a 7 in 7 organized  (7 hashes in 7 days) in September so sign up and attend those run or if you want - just the on on’s.  Sounds like the male hashers just want an excuse to drink every day for the week!

Next week’s run is a little bit of everything.  Not too hilly. Not too flat. Not too long.  Not too short.  The run starts on Jalan Ping Ping, First right turn, just after the roundabout, at the end of the highway leading to Serasa.  Two virgin hares plus some more experienced hashers and will be laying the trail.  So come along bring some friends.

Keep calm and just hash

Thanks hares.  A hash with a difference. 

We all assembled at Lower Diplo.  The only information we had was that there were no hills.  (I wonder if the hares use the same dictionary as me).
 
We set off through a section of beautiful jungle following paper.  Tongs tested the bridge for strength but no harm done.

In what seemed no time at all we exited the jungle.  There was a surreptitious checking of Sports Tracker which showed we had covered one and a half kilometres. No cause for alarm though as Peachy Keen in one hand held a type written message and with the other hand handed us a small, reviving tonic to assist our travels.

So it was back to the sign in to sign out and a quick car trek to the Upper Diplo where we signed in again. Paper mysteriously changed colour at this point as we headed into the jungle again.  Another check with a difference where we were offered the choice of a shot, answering a riddle or a five push ups if we were to continue on. We decided on the riddle and Goodnight Kiwi managed to come up with the right answer.   One more jaunt through the jungle and were given the same three choices.  We decided on the riddle again and Hornbill managed to come up with answer quite quickly!  So this week’s s run not only exercised our legs but our brains too! A great idea hares, perhaps we could amend the hash rules to make this mandatory for every run. 

At the Shout Up, Twinkletoes enquired whether we were still capable of walking in a straight line.  Great applause followed from some tiddly hashers.  Hares, Peachi.Keen, Ryvita, Mean Machine and Itchy Feet had a down down.    Front horn was Ally with Sam I Am as back horn.  First time guest, Chantelle from Oz, was given the traditional Dizzy welcome.  (Chantelle shows great hash potential as she downed her water in one swallow).  June birthday babes, Velma and Dizzy celebrated their birthdays.

A few announcements i.e. dishes left behind last week, stack plastic chairs as you leave, Kids Hash at Rapier Range this Sunday and lastly but not least, Possum sent greetings from Noosa Hash.  Subs are due for part two of the year.  A joke was provided courtesy of Mrs Pingu's dad.  It is a good job she has a holiday soon as she is now out of jokes.  Hash-it was given to Licker for failing to school her first time guest appropriately.

Next weeks run is at Salambigar Falls with the OnOn at No 2 Simpang 115-20-13 Jalan Madang.

Getting up from pre-run wee-winks, received an S.O.S call from Mean Machine who got stuck at the store car park when her car battery decided not to wake up. Peachi Keen Road Service successfully got the engine started, despite both chicks being a little shaky with cables in their hands. So the ice and esky for Hashers were safely delivered in tonight's run Upper Diplo. 

Having shower and a bit of thunder above the Hashers, trails was stunning, nice and painless 3.5km, and full of minus ion which definitely helped Hashers keep going, on on on!!

Off our lovely Diplo hills, Hashers were welcomed by Alison's special tasty punch, followed by ummmmm...nom, nom shepherds oie and freshly boiled sweet corn filled our tum. Oh never forget the treats of brownies. Merry night underneath the tropic thunder and shower, with 2 first time guests, no sinners to honour, and Madam Sin's well spiced joke. Probably a bit more shots will push Tiff on the stage to show off her beautiful singing voice for our entertainment. 

The next run will be our old favorite Lower Diplo. Ladies, get to ready to ball!!! On On

It was medium length run with two big hills. 3.8Ks. Pick up opposite RTB.

A number of Hens ran into the jungle, zoomed around for a while, found the road, got picked up by a bus and came back. Apart from that nothing much happened. There was a nice little sausage dog from next door who came and looked at us when we were sitting in the tent.

But! You may well say, what about the leaves, the rain; the little bridge with new handles; the big hill at the end?

Oh, all right then: The run was very pleasant, along well laid trails, sometimes with leaves and sometimes without. The second check was fiendish and people skittered about all over the place. Everyone came back to the check and scratched their heads in perplexity. Eventually, due no doubt to perseverance and sheer grit, the On was found, ahead; the skitterers just hadn't gone far enough to start with. It rained heavily at one point. Peachy Kean re-laid the paper where it had been washed away so no one got lost. Hurray!

Alas! The tinkle tinkle of little bells announced Possum's last run. At last, after long years of captivity, she has been released back into the wild where, once again, she may swoop from branch to branch or skip freely in the billabongs of her native habitat, to munch upon the tender leaves of the Eucalypt and to sip the amber nectar beside the honey bee and the Swagman of her native land. Cheerio Possum, and thanks for all the gifts and prizes, the lucky draw, the knock out punch and the vegemite sandwiches. My Noosa stubby holder will be a treasured hare-loom.

After all the hilarity and merrymaking, the committee put on some great chicken and veggie curry which was enjoyed by all. Thank you Peeps!

This week's run is a little over 3.K and will contain more FIENDISH CHECKs! (Oh No!). It is on white paper. Don't get mislead by any of the old stuff.
