"I'm sure the rain won't last long" I assured my guest just before I picked her up. Famous last words... On arriving at Mentiri Waterfall the rain was drizzling when we opened the car doors and never stopped. A smallish but enthusiastic group of ladies were all kitted out and attacked the trail with vim and vigor probably heartened by the pre-run information that it wasn't going to be too long or vicious.  As I'd arrived a little late I set off with Alice in Wonderland and my guest Anna whose apprehension about jungle trekking increased once Alice and I realized we were doing the trail backwards. Nothing daunted we continued on with Alice 'checking' to pick up the 'on' paper trail until we met the front runners making their way up a hill and a laid through trail to follow. The group included The Recruiter who cunningly used her superior trail knowledge to find all three checks!  Horns were Trailblazer and Mean Machine.

We continued along greeting other hashers (going around backwards is such a nice way to say hello to everyone) up and down, up and down, up and down. Thanks Hares for an enjoyable Mentiri Falls hash along easily walked trails just made a little slippery by the constant light rain.

The on on was held at Peachi Keen's lovely abode in Kebangsaan Lama. A call for assistance with food resulted with Sam I Am, Pedigree Pup and Ripper stepping forward to help out our hares. Thanks ladies for the scrumptious build your own burgers. I also sampled a very refreshing punch. A fairly quick shout up ensued with hares and horns thanked, Anna introduced as a first time guest from Canada on holiday in Brunei (she hopes to join CfBT in January), a rather risqué joke supplied by myself as a poor attempt at entertainment, and reminders about the 7 in 7 hash in September as well as the Lawas Malaysia Day Hash Saturday 29th August.

This weeks run is at Subok 67 with hares Duchess of Cambridge and Ally. Cars can either be parked at 67 or you may prefer to walk along from the on on site at house 2, 106 Jln Subok. This is not a long or hard hash and is a chance to visit an old hashing area some of you haven't been to in a long time or perhaps not at all. Bring your chair to the on on as no tent this week. Please park responsibly on the main road and not up the Simpang.  On On.

What the hares found in the morning. Lucky girls.

Selamat Hari Raya! With a kiddy sounds from our spare front horn honked by Peachi Keen, 23 hashers set out to the Hari Raya Run. After a several hundreds meters of road run, the yellow papers led the hashers into Rimba jungle. 

Although there were not so many killer hills, the trail was not an easy one. The 1st check was found by Pee Wee, which challenged us for a good 10 minutes. As we kept following the yellow strips, I started realizing "ummm, this is not an easy run as Rimba usually is, it's pretty hardout..." Of course Satu Lagi would not give us a piece-of-cake run!! Second check was the toughest of 15 minutes search, found by Hot lips. Followed by the third check also found by Hot Lips. Two hits Hot lips!!

 

Each hasher came out off the trail with a big applause of hares and fellow hashers. The biggest one went for the back horn Trail Blazer, who came out at 8:30. 

At shout out we welcomed the first time guest Yvonne, who was brought by Ally who was sentenced to Hashit for her "failing to operate front horn for being shit at direction". We indulged ourselves with a selection of beautiful and fiery local cuisines.

What are they called?) were for Hashers to bring home. [They were "Ketupat Manggis" … a traditional and decorative way to steam rice. Not recommended with plastic ribbons –ed]

Next week's run will be at Salambigar Watefalls, by Sam I am and Peachi Keen. It'll be a very nice and standard run, rather might be boring for some hardcore hashers, with no tricks and twists. On on at Peachi Keen's. Bring your swim togs if you wish to cool down in the pool, or reheat in the sauna. Bring your special bum holder if you have one as there will be little numbers of chairs.

RUN NO. 2447
DATE: 14 JUL 2015
SITE: SPG 420 JLN MUARA KG SG TILONG
HARES: TRAILBLAZER/TINA (with visiting relatives SUEANNE from Amsterdam & YANN CHU from Geelong)

With the anticipation that the run at Spg 420 was going to be short and sweet – last week hashers were in for a real sweet treat as Hares Tina and Trail Blazer took H3 ladies on an exciting ride!

Prior to the run, JM announced the run was about 3 or so kilometers. H3 ladies were also informed that there was going to be water crossings.

Hash Hound led the run at exactly 5.15 pm as front horn.  Our beloved Ripper was assigned as back horn but did not show or even went in for the run. Oh the catastrophe!

The run started along the road at simpang 420 and eventually led to a newly developed housing area that had the most interesting looking swamp and possibly the  most unexpected terrain.

Earlier that day, heavy rain showers covered most areas in Brunei Muara making our hash site extra slippery as the ground was soft and squishy.

The main challenge of the run was definitely the water crossing over a swamp, even though it was a thick log, the crossing was assisted by a rope which did not help much. One wrong move and one could land in a swamp and who knew how deep the water was!

Most ladies were out of the site and onto the On On Site at 6.30pm. Alice in Wonderland and Cheryl were slightly delayed in the exit – the dark and the jungle had them confused.

During the On on – Ripper received her Hashshit for not showing up at the run. Pee Wee entertained us with a joke which no one understood and she had to explain the punchline . Hahhah. And  the following week’s run was announced – which will be at the Armada Housing, Rimba. The following week’s run will be the Hari Raya Run.

Till Then On On.

Run No.: 2446
Date: 7 JUL 2015
SITE: DIPLO
HARES: ALISON/BLACK BEAUTY

With the warm afternoon sun beating down on us, we set out into the familiar jungles of Diplo.  We were told that it would be a “typical Diplo run”, and it was. There were ups and downs, some water crossings, and quite a bit of rainforest – all the things that make a good hash!

At a fork in the road, we could choose between a shorter, more forgiving route, or a longer one with more hills and water. In the mood for a challenge, I took the latter path. But of course, not long after, I was asking, “ARE WE THERE YET?”

Although the hills had some of us huffing and puffing only halfway up, it was a good run that was not too difficult, yet still a test of my willpower and perseverance!

Apologies as we did not know who found the checks!

After we’d all made it safely to shout-up, there was some delegation of tasks for the holidays and Peachi Kean got the hashit for keeping the crockery basket for three weeks! We ended the evening’s events with a wide spread of lovely food that all the H3 ladies had brought to share.

This week’s run is a mixed bag of a bit of road to get into the jungle, with a bit of mud and water. Enjoy the trails we don’t usually go on; we enjoyed the recces.

Hares (missing wonderwoman)

 

Another Tuesday afternoon in the abode with a different place to go.... Pimping we've not been there for sometime. Thanks to the fasting month we breezed over Jln Muara roundabout and headed for the coast road for hopefully a quick drive down towards Muara and the run. Quite a few cars gathered on the road just before the grave yard and a huddle of hashers could be seen collected around the tent and signing in board ready for the off. No words of guidance from the JM's this week so we headed off down the road wondering what was to come.

JM Twinkle Toes checking the runners.

 

 

Front horn Mean Machine and back horn Gin Trap were there to guide the pack on left down the road from the site. Having laid here a while ago it was most likely that we would follow paper along the road, past the house and then right further along the power line trail to the pylon and that is exactly where we went and where myself and Cheryl plus a few other injured or less enthusiastic hens turned back. A very good stroll for those with bad backs, sprained ankles and end of term tiredness, thank you.

Hornbill and Kem by the Banana plantation at the bottom of Kapok Kanan which had some of the front runners trumped as a check was placed and they went the wrong way.....



 

The rest of the hens I am reliable informed enjoyed a trail and road run around bamboo and grasses coming out from near the grave yard. There were 2 checks the second of which was found by Mrs Pingu and she thought first check was found by Pee Wee or someone else, congratulations whoever you were. There was no real complaints and the walkers who turned back like me were out just about the same time as the front runners so thank you ladies. All in all another memorable ladies hash which saw Squeak with her ankle up and iced and Gin Trap having on site surgery for thorns! Lets hope she got the lingering stubborn one out at home.

To the on-on, JM's in full flow again, a big thanks to the hares 2 hash virgins and several old hands, a sad farewell to Tongs good luck in China, one guest, a Canadian, sorry did-n't catch your name came along with Mean Machine but missed a little of her tutorial and got her sponsor the hashit........ that's the way to do it.... NOT!!!

Some entertainment from the two virgins which disputed their status as virgins!! Good jokes ladies Mrs Pingu's Dad has competition!

A few announcements for the 7 in 7 hash and the band gig at Linggi's at the weekend.

Then two new hash handles never to be known as Siohban and Karla again but to be everlastingly known as Where's Wally and Pedigree Pup.

Farewell to Tongs who will be heading off to China

This week's run ....... well there's really not much I can say as a bad back has kept me from reccing but we all know good old upper Diplo so some water crossings, some ups and downs are all likely!!! Don't forget bring a plate of food to share for the On-On
