RUN NO. 2546
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
