RUN NO. 2548 MCFARM 20 JUN 2017

Date: 20 June 2017
Site: Agro Park

Hares: Sarah B, Sarah C, Sharon and In Too Deep

Front Horn: Lykke    Back Horn: Never Wrong

We all arrived to see the tent had been delivered, but wasn’t standing!

Luckily, Trailblazer stayed back to supervise and it was up when we got back.

The horn sounded and we were off, with the front runners in the distance. We could turn back after first check for the short run (5.5km), or just keep on going for the long (6.5km). Speedy Gonzales found the first check and Footloose the second. The front runners did an extra

loop of the lollipop before Hash Hound realised and relaid an arrow for the rest of us to find our way out before backtracking too far.  It was a good run with everyone out safely. 

The Onon was pretty quiet, with a few away on holidays and some just not there. Hash Hound got hashit for signing in and out before she even did the run… she’s quick, but not that quick! 

We celebrated June birthdays, welcomed new member Liz (from Canada, teacher at JIS), and enjoyed a great spread.

RUN NO. 2547 MATA-MATA 13JUN2017

RUN NO. 2547
DATE: 13 JUN 2017 (MID YEAR RUN)
SITE:  Bukit Silat (Mata Mata)
HARES: Footloose, Lykke, Sarah B
FRONT HORN: In Too Deep  BACK HORN: Duchess of Cambridge

A successful Mid year committee run was enjoyed by all hashers this week. After a few problems occurred with the previous hash site, a very good decision was made to change the site and with little time and notice the hares managed to pick a new location and do another recce.

 Safe to say everyone felt a bit relieved, thankfully there was no razor grass or bees nests, just pretty views and a very well laid run.

The run was a distance of 4.5km with a variety of jungle, some never ending hills as always and a nice trail to finish. I led the way in as front horn but struggled to keep up with Yogi Beer and Artful Dodger who had beaten me to the finish line [although hash is not a competition, ladies, let’s not forget….] Duchess of Cambridge had back horn.

There was one check which was well spotted by Yogi Beer, while Artful Dodger continued downhill and crossed the bridge to find the remaining trail.

Back at the On -On we were greeted with our mid year hash gifts, the best umbrellas on the market!! All thanks to the committee.

There was a first time guest, an ISB teacher called Hannah, brought by Tracy.

Hash shit was well taken by Duchess of Cambridge, Footloose and Ripper. Duchess of Cambridge had basically asked for hash shit!(very brave of her). She had missed an application deadline for the euro hash in Vienna and so pleaded that if she could still enter she would take hash shit here in Brunei. Footloose had to take one for guest Tanya as she left her water bottle behind last week. And lastly Ripper got it for leaving her shoes and socks behind.

DATE: 6 JUN 2017
SITE: SPG 420 JLN MUARA, KG SG TILONG - GAWAI RUN
HARES: HORNBILL/TRAILBLAZER/GOODNIGHT KIWI/YOGI BEER
FRONT HORN: CHLOE    BACK HORN: SIAW YAN

With only distant rumblings of thunder, many more hens gathered this week for the Gawai run than had braved the beautiful but very soggy RR the week before. That, or like me, they were ever hopeful that Hornbill would cook her famous rendang!

Lemang to go with the Rendang

Chloe was our lovely front hor,n, while Siaw Yan brought up the rear. After a bit of confusion at the very start—are we up the hill, or down the hill, or was it up or was it down, we finally ran down the hill, along the road, and into the jungle. Now this is where I don’t have much more to report I’m afraid as I was not taking mental notes as at that point I didn’t know I was going to be doing the run report! So the run went something like this: Up—down—round a corner—up—down—round a corner (or similar, repeat).

Itchy Feet found the first check and Wonder Woman the second. I do remember getting to 3.8km on my watch and heading back into deep canopy and thinking “3.5km my arse!”. I made it 5.2km, and very enjoyable it was too! I was very pleased to be handed some rice wine after making it back up the hill from hell to Hornbill’s.

As ever, it was lovely to see her and James dressed in traditional costumes, and to savour the highlight of the hashing year for me….the rendang!

To be fair, it was very well accompanied by some very tasty chicken burgers [see recipe], rice ‘wheels’ and extremely moreish crunchy beige sticks, whose name escapes me! Next week’s run is the Mid Year run organized by the committee. There is some razor grass so it is recommended that you cover up well, and also bring mossie spray as there are lots of the little sods about!

Rain check Hashit for PeeWee & Patsy for forgetting the plates and cutlery when we were at Rapier range

SITE: RAPIER RANGE
HARES: WONDER WOMAN/TIGER MONTH/WHERES WALLY/OVER THIS/TRAILBLAZER

A small group of eager hens gathered at rapier range with the clouds looking ominous.
I have memories of running in the rain at this site before. We set off down the road and through vegetable plantations still in fine weather.

It was a interesting trail by the beach and through a tricky path then back onto a clearer path when the heavens opened.

Led astray, Jeanette and I plodded along gradually getting wetter and wetter till we were back at the vegetable plots then,thankfully found the blue out trail and were back on the road.

When we arrived back at site, Jeanette in her white t shirt could have easily won a wet t shirt competition and I was glad hash flash was not around to take my photo but I appreciated the cocktail supplied by the hares.

An even smaller number of hens braved the mud and rain for the shout up. 

The hares proudly showed off the new range of brightly coloured hash t shirts and hash shop did good business.

No first time guests this week but led astray, pedigree pup,icy bitch,where's Wally, trailblazer and tiger moth celebrated a grand total of 1050 runs between them 

There were no calls for the hash shit as we were wet enough but plates were missing.so watch out patsy and peewee. 

Thank you hares for the delicious salad and wraps
On on

Never wrong (volunteer) - Thanks!
