SITE: MENTERI WATERFALLS
DATE: 27 SEP 2016
HARES: RACHEL/LYKKE/GINTRAP/HHOUND
FRONT HORN: YOGI BEER BACK HORN: GERI
So at the usual hour, the hens gathered at the sign in at the Mentiri Waterfalls. 5.15 and the horn sounded. We followed the paper in, which didn't go the usual way. It snaked around to the left and it wasn't long before we met our first hill (you'll note I'm saying FIRST hill) which was a jolly decent one at that. We kept going until we hit the ridge, which is often a relief, but not this ridge. It goes up and down all the way along and in this direction, there seemed to be many more ups than downs. Is this possible? My legs would say yes for sure. We finally came along to the swathe of jungle that has been mercilessly cut out, we crossed the track and carried on up. You see, up again! This is where the run became interesting as we ventured where haven't before. The tracks were quite uneven and we could see that the hares had spent quite a while cutting in order to open the trail up. We managed to cross a tricky little bridge before climbing up again. After a few minutes we could hear the traffic and finally we had down trail out. Just a short trot back to the sign in boards. Although a shorter distance than some runs, it more than made up for it in intensity. We all made our way back to Rachel's house (palace?) for the on on. A few hens availed themselves of the swimming facilities before the shout up commenced. No new members this week, or FTGs if I remember correctly. Horns were passed on, hares thanked, the usual. It was good to see some friendly faces back, Super Trooper, Itchy Feet, Speedy Gonzalez, we've missed you! No hashit meant we went straight to the food. Which was superb. Salad and lasagne, thank you hares! We wiled away the next couple of hours, drinks in hand, under the dark Borneo sky, a very lovely evening indeed. This week ladies, prepare yourselves for the RB Dreamgirls run. The run is at Sleazy Gardens, the full run is decent hike, almost 6km, in and out on the fire trails. Pretty decent hills but clear, wide running trails. If you don't fancy that, when you get to the waterfall, turn around and head back - this will give you 4km and misses out the last punishing hill. The choice is yours, enjoy! On on
NEXT RUN: TANJ BUNUT KANAN
HARES: DREAM GIRLS
