RUN NO. 2455
DATE: 8 SEP 2015
SITE: JLN DADAP
HARES: NEVER WRONG/JENNY OTB

Gamely we drove into what was the unknown for many of us, up a huge hill that had us fearing for what was to come. For all that the run had its ups and downs, none were as bad as the hill we drove up! The scenery was beautiful and not long into the run we came across a river crossing. The front runners were long gone and although we were a bit doubtful about crossing the bamboo bridge, Bunny Girl was the first of us across and lived to tell the tale so Doris followed suit. Unfortunately she had a different bridge-crossing technique and went for an unexpected swim from a great height! All that witnessed it decided to wade through the water instead except for Ready Mix who decided to go for broke. Those behind her followed suit once more, only to find Hornbill going for a swim next!
When the wet and soggy pack eventually got going again it was to the sounds of the first check being found by Christy.

We then had a fantastic rest of the run, with lots of (tamer) water crossings and beautiful jungle
including lots and lots of jackfruit trees. Our lovely Recruiter found the second check.

We were warmly welcomed at Never Wrong's for the on-on where the front runners made up for staying dry in the run by having a dip in the pool. Thank you to Ryvita for stepping in as JM. The shout up was quite short and sweet with no first time guests, no new members, no calls for hashit. Duchess of Cambridge had us laughing with her heaven and hell joke and Licker presented Sam I Am with a comedy survival kit for turning 50. Lovely food followed.

Due to a last minute change in logistics the venue for next week's run has changed to Mentiri, with the on-on at mine (Gin Trap).

Please bring chair, swimmers if you wish (only a small dunking pool), and wear something Latin in flavour. We are celebrating Mexican Independence Day, but also Colombia and Spain, so come as a Mexican bandido or a Spanish Señorita....."
NEXT RUN: MENTERI WATERFALL (LATINOS) - Please bring a chair
