A hot still day,
No wind no breeze at play,
Wondered how this run is going to be like,
For us who hadn’t eaten or drank since last night,
Up in the hills parked on a narrow road,
I looked around for my compatriot,
To discover when I called she just woke up,
She said to me, “Don’t wait up”
With hens raring to go,
Along with several chicks in tow,
Off we went when the horn blew,
I went with a light jog feeling whoop de do!
This isn’t so bad after all,
To hash during the month of fast,
Within five minutes the front horn called,
“Checking checking!” was heard by all.
Front horn Anna asked me to check back,
Rest of the hens were coming up the track,
When “On paper! On paper!” was heard,
Ready Mix the one who discovered,
On on,On on we go,
We met The Dutchess,
Who warned us,"Watch out for slippery stones ahead",
Glamour is somewhere close I bet.
I took it easy, nice and slow,
Not knowing how far to go,
With Pee Wee sailing by,
She looked like she could fly,
As I trudged on,
Glamour, we stumbled upon,
Oooh she's in deep,
Fortunately the trail weren't steep,
Will she continue til the end I pondered,
I wasn't the only one who wondered.
Whoever said 'you can't cross the same river twice',
Have not done a hash in their life,We crossed not once, twice, or trice(?)
I lost count which was pretty wise,
Concentrating to keep feet as dry as possible,
When crossing where ever I was able,
passed by a woodcutter site from the looks of it,
Bunny Girl almost tripped from a trap not far from it,
Fellow hens wondered if meant for wild boars,
As we passed by the numerous bamboo groves.
Then Ready Mix announced,
"We're almost out,
"My flagging battery revved,
Yes, I'm saved!
Wina turned up in her blooming pants,
Cow! I thought as she did a little dance,
Teased her for missing out,
And proceeded to tell me why she was all pout.
Better head to Julia's to break the fast,
Food and water, at long last!
The shout up was fun aplenty,
Heard lots of different stories,
Three new chicks were introduced,
Quiche Fanny Waxer was the most amused,
By us all by far the most novel,
Tania still stuck with the chicken squeak,
Was it Dizzy that took the dog's squeaky chick?
We attacked the food with rice and homemade bread,
Thanks Julia and Tania for the filling spread,
Then Julia's wedding album was passed around,
So pretty she was in her red gown,
Love, happiness and not a single frown,
We wish her all the best in married life,
For now she is someone's wife,
I forgot to say Glamour did go all the way,
She's the white rabbit that Alice couldn't carry,
I left the night feeling great,
One by one, everyone soon dissipate,
Until the next gathering of us hens,I bid you adieu until then...

Horns: Anna/Eastern Promise
*****
The hens all gathered at a familiar place—Ruthless Pursuit’s backyard! Before the run, we heard the sad news that Virginie Staal’s niece was starting chemo that day, so our thoughts went out to her.

We started out on the familiar walk up the road to the turnoff. Walking more slowly, or gossiping more enthusiastically—depending on your point of view—meant that I was very surprised to catch up to the front runners on the top of a small hill. It appeared that the run was not going as it was supposed to! Front hens had run out of paper while marking through to the place the hash ‘should’ have gone!

We need to go back to first check (*huh? We’ve passed first check?*) was the cry, but no-one appeared to be entirely sure where first check had actually been. Bunny Girl’s cries of ‘horn, horn, who’s got the horn?” Were answered with “you’ve seen my husband, so you know it’s not me!” by someone I shall allow to remain nameless.

After some time spent fruitlessly searching, the very devioius back check was finally revealed after a few phonecalls. Hens can be tricky creatures!! The rest of the hash was relatively straightforward with only swamps and scratchy patches to contend with. Getting back to base we were all reminded that the on-on was at Pee Wee’s new place (*palace—I’d move in, I’m sure there’s room!!*)

Before the shout-up were were treated to a skinny dipping Dizzy checking out the pool. At shout-up, Ruthless Pursuit had abandoned us for an affair at the High Comm so Pee Wee was the sole hare available to give our thanks to. Two new members were welcomed (well, one new one—Monique, and one returning—Hot Lips). “There’s your first stiffie” announced Bunny Girl mysteriously, before correcting herself and handing out the welcome drink.

Alice in Wonderland celebrated 300 runs and Pee Wee 100 runs, both giving their cash to charity (what a caring bunch!) Mad Marg was thanked for the
leadership she has provided over the last month, and congratulated on her new boobs—very perky. Some funny jokes were told, and then Julia was given some very helpful advice on her new marriage (*’Commit murder and be out sooner’ had to be my personal favourite.*) She has threathened us (will treat us) with the wedding photos next week. Congratulations on the happy event!!

Unfortunately, no-one was given hashshit so the lucky previous holder (that would be ME) gets to hang on to it for another week. The food provided was delicious and the rest of the evening passed in a pleasant haze.

Just as an aside, while waiting for the hash to begin this evening I was asked by Julia if I would set a hash with her ‘one day’. With ‘one day’ flating serenely in the future somewhere I said sure. The future quickly zoomed into much nearer proximity, with “it’s at Dadap sometime” plucking my murky memory of last week’s hash when I was asking how to get there because it was in the words for two week’s time—that made it NEXT week now! Dazed and confused at just how fast time moves, I smiled politely. See you there.

FRONT HORN: Tango BACK HORN: Tina I

OK, time to write the words. Just got back from a lovely evening with Possum, Peahen and Magic, so if these don’t make sense – blame them!

Plenty of Hens were gathered around the tent waiting for the off. A quick phone call to Trailblazer confirmed that we were to embark on fairly long run. With no ‘big’ hills. Yah…….. so with Tango on front horn, off we ran at 5.15. We were a fair way in before first check, which was readily found by Mad Margz (MM). I think we call that ‘Hashcraft’. So off we ran, and yes, it was good running trails and fairly flat. However the odd ‘small’ hill started to raise its head. And we could sense the weather closing in. Dark clouds descended, and as we were under a fair whack of canopy, light was disappearing fast.

Second check came along the river. More Hashcraft as Mad Margz was sure it was ahead along the river, so I followed as instructed and indeed she was right. So on we went, and it was at this point that more hills began to appear. And they didn’t seem so small – maybe because we were covering a lot of ground. Up, up, up we went, yet it was a good 20 minutes before we hit upon the final check. We kind of had a handle on where we were by this point, and MM found it on ahead. As it was still getting darker and darker the four of us at the front elected to stay together. A fair bit further on we hit the ridge – yay! On our way out. MM, Tango, Anna and myself had a fairly brisk run out as we didn’t want to be caught in the rain.

The rain started to pan down as we were signing out. It was dark, cold and pretty miserable. Ruthless Pursuit, Magic and a couple of others came out next, and the rest filtered out over the next half hour. I struggled to change in the car, Magic quite sensibly bolted! As I got back to the tent, it appeared that a few were left in. Bunny Girl made a few calls (we are a caring sharing hash!) And we established that most were ok and on their way out. Sadly, Diyana and Tracey were in communicado. So we decided to wish MM a happy birthday and avail ourselves of the delicious cake as she had to ‘hash ‘n’ dash’.

Thankfully the girls appeared, wet and a bit bedraggled, but in good health and spirits! The shout up was well conducted by our returning JM Bunny Girl, there were a couple of first time guests – one of which we were truly honoured to host. Road Runner’s sister had come along, I guess to see what it was that she loved so much! And I’m sure we all hope to see her again soon. Duchess celebrated her 71st birthday and 1100th run – she truly is the most decorated Hen! Well done! The rain just didn’t really let up, but we sat around and enjoyed the hash camaraderie as usual. Madam Sin was on particularly good ‘tidying’ form, and she crushed a can of mine that was actually full. I think I took that as a sign to go! On on! Pee Wee

HENS: 30 CHICKS: 3
As I got to the site, having dropped off the words earlier, a row of cars neatly parked up one side of the "hill" could be seen - It meant having to park down the bottom and trudge all the way up. Anyway, a good warm up, and soon the horn was heard and hens started up the usual cut.

We had been warned about traps along the trails and were on a look out for these. We soon dipped left down from the ridge. The hares had indicated that it would be a big down followed by a big up...... we were soon going down, and down, and down. So far, so good. We then had a small up and soon first check was called., and on we went. Then paper ran out and the front runners went on ahead and found some paper which did not seem to be layed "correctly" and of character of experienced hares that had laid the run. We trudge on and soon found ourselves at the Markucing ridge. Hens went left and right, looked down tracks, but no paper. Time was ticking on, with the whole pack together - albeit a bit small - as quite a few hens were still on holiday, the decision was made that we should turn around and go back the way we came.

Moans and groans were heard all the way, as we had been down down down, the obvious up up and up could not be avoided. All were out with hens exhaused and most reminded of the last hash at the same site when the hares had lost their reccee paper and we had to turn around as well.

GM Madmarg's call for the hashit was made easy as Tania's phone went just as shout up began, and Christine was glad to pass this on.

Thank you Alison, Cheryl and Sue for the hot baked potatoes with all sorts of toppings which went down a treat and the evening continued as usual under the cloud of haze.

RUN NO. 2136 - SUBOK 67

Rodzi performing her assignment in earnest!
The Loan Service Team enjoying a nice evening before the haze! Bet, Kellie and Tina I


The Hares - Tania & Hash Baby

DATE: 25 July 2009
SITE: Subok 67
HARES: Tania/Hash Baby
HORNS: Tango/Trailblazer
GUESTS: Mary, Gill & Spot

Arriving at my favourite hash site (not) with anticipation of lots of hilly terrain, I found the words described 2 runs – white paper for a 1 hour RUN (yeah right!) up and down the ridges of Subok, and yellow paper for a revitalizing 30 minute stroll for the hens who have had a hard day (that’s me). Oh no! It was my turn to write the words and my co – hares had some great excuses for doing the short run, so I got the short straw and the long run. So off we all went like mountain goats up the first cliff face and continued to go up, up and up until we hit an open ridge with great 360 degree views. Apparently, this was where the short walkers were meant to turn around and head back down and out on another track.

Just as I hit the summit, Suzie said they were checking below and left, so I thought I had better check out the track to the right – found paper, but it was dubiously old, so I went back and down left to join the rest of the long runners. The call of ‘on paper’ was heard a long way distant, so I continued on down the steep slope until I got to a large log bridge. Apparently, first check was found just before this bridge by most of the front runners because there wasn’t much gap between the check and the on paper.

The hash continued up and down for quite a while until it wound its way down past a waterfall. After that, I really confirmed how unfit and tired I was as the walk became a bit of a blur, just putting one foot in front of the other. All I could focus on was making it out and a lot of the scenery was wasted on me. The vague sound of a distant horn was heard, waking me out of my reverie – that must be second check found (Pee Wee), but that meant there was still a long way to go.

After a very long, steep down my knees were really starting to complain, so I was relieved to follow a stream on the valley floor for a good while. We crossed over at two lovely little pools and then crossed over a larger river and oh joy, began the long ascent back up. At least the flat section had given me time to recover a little. Next thing I knew, I heard somebody whistling and soon came across Alison, looking for Spot, who had taken off before 5.15, been seen sporadically by the front runners, but had failed to come out. I was hoping this wasn’t going to be a repeat performance like Molly’s 4 day jungle adventure. After walking through some long grass and along an old asphalt road, we at least were out.

Alison, sister in law Gill and Cheryl all headed back in a bit later after reports of sightings of Spot. GM Mad Marg started the shout up without them. The hares were given their down down – it was actually a lovely hash, thank you. I must say there are some beautiful trails in Subok, it’s just a pity they’re not user friendly for the old knees. No matter what I think on the way round, I love the scenery and it is good for me having to push myself sometimes because I know I have to get out.

First time guest was Mary from Melbourne who was visiting Mad Marg; Hash Baby was the only July birthday hasher; Rodzi read out 2 jokes about Billy; Pee Wee gave an announcement about the Boy’s Hash 090909th run and Nellie was offering a short term amah. Everyone was perfectly behaved and no hashit was given. Just after the shout up, by which time it was well dark, the 3 rescuers returned with Spot. So their short walk didn’t turn out so short after all. Everyone was just thankful that Spot had been found. The evening was rounded out with bread buns, chicken and coleslaw and some yummy desserts, especially the apricot crumble. Thank you ladies for the food. Yet another good hash night had by all…..

FRONT HORN: Tango BACK HORN: Eastern Promise


Once again there were not many hens joining the run on a lovely Tuesday evening in Diplo. With our JM having a rest on holiday and our GM as a hare there was a bit of milling around waiting to be organised. At last Dizzy, Eastern Promise and Tango sorted out the horns and then we were off.

As we started out I always seem to forget about the hills in Diplo because it starts so flat. The words spoke of nice trails and a few hills so I took heart in that as we continued up and along the ridge.

As I’m one of the walkie talkies(or just a bit slow) I never saw the checks but I assume our fast front runners found it because we stayed on paper. I did notice a lot of going over and under logs and after a while I was trying to think of a word to describe this sort of running(steeplechase came to mind but I don’t think that was it.) At about the half way point there was a break in the jungle and Tania and I stopped to notice the view – of the development of the Sungai Akar tip. A bit brown still, unfortunately.

Anyway we continued on through the jungle eventually beginning to notice that the logs had changed into vines. I started thinking about Tarzan then, but didn’t see him. We made our way through the jungle back to Diplo coming out exactly the way we went in. A good, challenging but not too hard, run.

With the call of the chook summoning for Hashquiet the shoutup was short and sweet. Must be that new chook! The hares were thanked – well done to Suzie, our virgin hare, as well as Tango and Eastern Promise for being front and back horns. It was very quiet with no first time guests and no new members. Congratulations to Tania for completing 50 runs. She needed a double down down because the head in the wine goblet was too big (although she said she likes it that way).

Smurf told us a joke about a man and his devotion to a sheep ( or was it to his personal needs?) which was very funny and then we came to the hashit. The hashit chook has obviously been a bit lonely because it now has another chook and a baby chook to keep it company during the week. The hashit was given to Christine this week for not signing out. Kelly, who got it last week, was unable to deliver it due to injury so her guest who got her in trouble last week, Mel, did an excellent job of delivering the hashit to a stripped down for action Christine. Well taken!

We then sat down and got stuck in to a lovely meal of chilli(?)and rice which was delicious, followed by some watermelon which was very cleverly cut into tree shapes so we didn’t get our fingers messy. And then enjoyed some great conversation and drinks into the night...... On On

I was fortunately given a lift to the hash with MagMargz – we noted the location of the signs, and arrived in plenty of time to have a chat with everyone – not difficult as there were so few of us left after the mass exodus away on school holidays. Front and back horns were dually handed out and beep beep off we ran/ walked into a familiar maze of ferns zig zagging this way and that with the sound of front and back horn keeping us marching onwards…

First challenge to cross a small swampy area where the hares had kindly laid some logs to prevent our feet from getting wet..ha ha …one little wobble and I was straight in up to my calves …well what’s hashing all about other than to get wet and muddy? First check on on back, also the second if I remember correctly..by the third, I am too far behind to hear.

We dipped down into the jungle and then took a loop to the right…by this time Sonia and Eastern Promise were comparing notes as to which part of the trail was familiar and had been used before. Soon we were sauntering down a familiar stretch of unused road chatting away but also enjoying the beautiful jungle each side of us.

All in all a nice gentle run and a good shout up by the GM… One guest almost unnoticed as a). She hadn't been introduced at the start of the run …Hashit!!! And b) she was wearing a hash T. Shirt Hmmm! Also for the hashit! ! Was Monique For not signing out … a gentle watering of the feet by Eastern Promise and then when they thought it was too good to be true – a big splash over their heads…brrrrrrr!

Two good jokes – loved the one about Johnny’s letters to God then we all enjoyed a wonderful vegetable curry and halleluiah there were so few of us there, there was enough for second helpings….

FRONT HORN: Magic Roundabout
BACK HORN: Boomerang

Some of us might have been ‘Hashed out’ and ‘beered out’ after the 7in7, but, true to form, it was Tuesday night, therefore LADIES NIGHT, so Mata Mata it was. Possum and I meandered up towards the ridge, checking the pitcher plants on the way. FROPs don’t worry if you didn’t see them as you sped past – they are all fine and healthy!! We stopped and talked to the Duchess. Congratulations to you on a very fine performance on the Limbang stage, dancing with her MJ hat, and looking grand. A true hasher indeed!

The horn sounded as we headed towards the jungle and we soon found The Duchess sitting on a ledge having a rest as we all trotted past her. Soon found Glamour who ha found 1st check before deciding to turn around.

We trudged up, up and up and wondered if the hares were trying to compete wih the hills we have had to contend with all week on the 7 in 7's., and was glad when we eventually went in the jungle as the heat was just getting unbearable.

2nd check was found by Satu Lagi and all the checks were excellent as it cerainly kept the coop together as the front runners were soon behind but not for long as they were soon passing the walkie talkies.

The trails were dry and even the streams were not running too fast, and a bit dry compared to the other side of Mata-Mata.

And so to the on on. Hares Diva and On Up were thanked for a fine run, along with horns. First time guests and new member welcomed and 50th potty to Diva.

Then Bunny Girl, Mad Marg and Tango led our thanks to the organising committee for the success of last weeks 7in7, a sterling effort – well done to everyone, and then we were subjected to a final rendition of “Ladies Night”

The evening then became sad!! Farewells were offered to On Up and Boomerang who had run their last run with us – thanks too must be given to them for their kind words about us!! The library girls gave Boomerang a lovely goblet and both were given a delicious cake. On Up entertained us with a funny joke and Possum told one I didn’t understand!! We wish you well ladies, and in Boomerang’s case, you’ll come back!!! After yummy curry was served the evening settled into a pleasant gossip under the stars, with amber nectar flowing.

And soon there were seven, staying for a ‘satu lagi’ in lieu of Satu Lagi who had to leave early! Oh what a shame! A while later, the stars went in and the rain began to fall, a ‘dua lagi’ had to be taken as we couldn’t possibly drive in the rain!! Then Possum decided it was time to go back to her nest. The only problem was, her car didn’t want to leave its mud bed. The Magnificent Seven leapt into action. Magic jumped into her truck, Madam Sin got a tow rope out of Trev and we all got into action. Pee Wee, Trailblazer, Hash Baby, Madam Sin and I pushed the car, Magic pulled, Possum revved, the rope snapped! We tried again, this time, while tying the rope Madam Sin had to multi-task as all H3 hashers do regularly, and perform an Indiana Jones roll away in the mud to avoid the reversing Magic – all very dramatic. Again, no luck. We sat in the back of the car to add weight, but Possum’s car refused to move. At this point, she decided to abandon the car and go home with Magic. Meanwhile, in the torrential rain, covered in mud, we settled for a ‘tiga lagi’ (purely for medicinal purposes by now – we needed to get warm!!) Eventually, wrapped in towels we cleared the site, and wended our muddy, weary way home in the rain!!
OH WHAT A NIGHT!!!

FRONT HORN: Anna BACK HORN: Trailblazer
HENS: 53 CHICKS: 10 7in7 GUESTS: 60


As I drove up Jalan Muara the gathering black clouds looked ominous - it looked like we were in for a wet run! Sure enough as I pulled up at the hash site raindrops began to hit my windscreen. It was quite amusing to see fellow hashers arriving to the shelter of the tent using their umbrellas. We were about going to go into the jungle in a few minutes and get wet anyway! As this run was run number three for the 7 in 7ers the hens were joined by a few more chicks and strutting cocks! Our illustrious JM welcomed all 7 in 7ers and the horn was sounded. We went in the jungle up near the water tower when I mentioned to Diva I had ‘spots before my eyes’ she replied with concern if I had headache and did I need a rest and drink. I turned to her and laughed ‘no, we’ve only gone up a small incline, its my glasses I can hardly see!’ So off we continued on what turned out to be a very wet, muddy, slippery but enjoyable hash.



The jungle was very beautiful and refreshingly cool. Some fellow hashers including Trailblazer decided that the rain wasn’t enough and had a little swim near the waterfall just before the out trail. I’ve no idea who found what check but I’m led to believe Andy Scott and other cocks could be given the credit.


Once we’d all dried off and got changed into our ‘pink’ attire – wigs, crocs, t-shirts and snazzy leggings! The hens treated the 7 in 7 hashers to a live performance of ‘Ladies Night’ to show how welcome everyone was to the H3 chapter. Bunny Girl proceeded to thank the hares and introduced a first time guest Lisa Cunningham – better late then not at all! (She leaves Brunei next week!) Annette was welcomed as a new member and Tina celebrated achieving 50 runs. By this time Bunny Girl had to shout loudly to be heard above the crowing cocks. They go their just deserts and Stuart was given the Hashit for the BH3.



Happy birthday were sung to Thelma and Never Wrong and we all had a good laugh at the hermaphrodite hash joke.


On a sadder not Bunny Girl explained why our other JM Mrs. Pingu will not be at the hash for the next few months as her daughter is ill and a request was made for anyone with A+ve blood to make themselves known. Our love and thoughts go with Mrs. Pingu and her Family.


This week’s hash is my last hash I return to England next week after 5+ years in Brunei. I’ve really enjoyed being in Brunei and the hash has been one of the highlights –I’ll miss my Tuesday nights! On On On-Up

HENS: 40 CHICKS: 9

Hares Diva, Mrs Merlot and Bella Indeed it was a Merry Mid Xmas Run. Hens arrived to find a brightly decorated site and to get us in the party mood Bunnny girl and Tango subjected us to, sorry entertained us with a performance of Ladies Night and then, thankfully, the horn blew and we dashed off down 370 to the disappearing rainforest behind Bini Hutan's collapsed house.

First check was found on ahead across a lunar landscape, then hens puffed and panted up a goat track at the top of which Hot Lips found an old hash sign telling us we should be grateful for the fat we had lost ! Hens struggled on red-faced to 2nd check where ladies stood trying to regain their composure and "glowing" somewhat. Peahen took control and forged ahead to find the on paper in no time , with Madam Sin (yes she was actually doing the run) and Hot Lips. Hens surged forwards overtaking the intrepid three, soon to be confused on meeting Eastern Promise, Alice in Wonderland and a couple of others. Obviously they had been clucking away and got onto the out trail instead of the in!

Once again Peahen set off down the hill with her side kicks and were overtaken but not deterred as they crossed the bridge and trotted up hill. Not as fast or far as the other front runners and having made a group decision to cut out back to Bini Hutan's, the trio came upon the out trail and so called the on paper for the poor hens flapping about at 3rd check. Skipping down the trail they were sprayed by 2 Santas with water pistols, but gratefully accepted the chocolates offered and headed happily back to the on site and partook of a refreshing glass ( Ruthless Pursuit actually partook of 5 ) of punch. With hens dressed up in an array of seasonal accessories and the JM changing costumes like a pantomime actor, from Xmas Brunhilda to Vicar of Dibley, the shout up saw down downs galore - 3 hares, 1 guest( Julia), 2 Santas and 7 christenings: The Duchess (Veronica 1090+ runs) Diva (Cath) Bella (Rosie) Mrs Merlot (Julie-Anne) Boomerang (Kate) Clover (Norma) and Thelma (Linda) Then lashings of Yuletide Fare was served up and the hens were VERY entertained by the harmonious singing and wonderfully co-ordinated dancing of the H3 Lively Lasses until numbers dwindled and a few stayed on to kindly help clear up and finish the punch! OH WHAT A NIGHT! Thanks hares ON ON !!

Wow – who would of thought there were cool little niches around Brunei like the one we went to Last Tuesday!! For a lot of people it was their first time to that area and took a little trial and error to find.

On arrival we discovered that hash tent was set up at the end of a shop house outside an amazing souvenir shop.

The run started and off we set back down towards the main Tungku link road following a “lovely” drain all the way. Now…. Maybe it was just me being a wee slow coach but I missed all the checks!! OOPS. So for quite a few of us it was a nice walk round. We met up with some of the front-runners when we accidentally (yeah right) took a short cut. On we kept going till we reached literally the end of the run way – to find what we thought was one of our lovely RBA planes about to take off over us – so….. being the sensible adult women that we are….. we stood there hands gripped tightly onto the bottom of our t-shirts…. Tina with camera ready…. To ……FLASH THE PLANE!!! Oops again, it turns out the plane was just coming down the runway to turn around and take off the other way. No flashers!!!
Nice walk back to site from there… I do believe some people went round more than once.

The shout up was a lot of fun – man on hash who proceeded to gun his motorbike.. then have it stall right in front of us all…. And of course the ladies were kind and gave him no hassles….. We had 3 new guests to welcome and of course Ah Struth to farewell. A lovely gift was given to Ah Struth and it was sad to have to farewell such a wonderful member of the ladies hash. You will be truly missed by all!!!!!

Finally before some lovely soup we had a rendition of – COOL AND THE GANG (Mrs Pingu, Bunny Girl and Tango – which one was cool????) singing and dancing to “LADIES NIGHT” – ah ha!!!! Very cool ladies!!!

Thank you to the hares and the lovely lady who allowed us to have the hash at her shop. The soup and home made bread and fruit was lovely.

RUN NO. 2129 - SUBOK 67

DATE: 9 June 2009
SITE: Subok 67
HARES: Sid/Kate C/Fiona - The Librarians
HENS: 48 CHICKS: 3
FRONT HORN: Anna BACK HORN: Trailblazer



A lovely evening, although the weather has been hot and humid lately; Subok Spg: 67 was nice and cool as it is high up. The hens arrived as usual chit-chatting about this and that, with the ice hen smashing the ice (the latest method: with hammers) with the help of other hens, the JMs sorting out the finances with the Hash Cash, and the drinks hens emptying cartons of drinks into the bins in readiness for the ice. Yes it was just like the hens in a chicken run.

“John did not help to lay the run, it is a ladies’ run. For Walkie-talkies, you can come back after a drink” Mrs Pingu announced.

So we all set off and as expected of Subok runs, it was up and up down a bit then up again. After about 15minutes we arrived at my favourite spot in Subok, a local farmer’s nest. A lovely spot where one can survey a breath taking, Mother Nature’s creation. A few years ago I suggested to the farmer that he should build a restaurant up there, to which he replied “No one would walk up here even if it meant eating here.”

Glamour sat innocently on a bench behind the farmer’s building, holding what looked like a bottle of water; upon seeing us she produced tiny red cups and poured the drink in the cups and offered each approaching hen. Expecting G & T, Christine and I took a large gulp and almost chocked as the burning spirit went down our throats. Luckily I had some water and diluted it. I actually did very well since Christine could not take another gulp and offered me hers. Yes, Alice in Wonderland drunk it with no difficulties but alas! The heat got her. The rest of the hens carried on ahead.

Alice and Diana managed to go round and according to them, soon after the drink the run became very strenuous. It would appear that there were no checks found.

This is what Diana wrote (Alice too had a similar experience):-
“Too early I thought to give up now and after just a short discussion – shall we shan’t we??? Off we went into the unknown as far as I was concerned never having done a hash in this part of Subok. It’s reputation goes before it, with hills and more hills, and not to be disappointed we were soon down into the river bank and then climbing a very steep and difficult hill – crikey I thought, how long is this hash going to be – looking at the hills in front of me, I realised that it was going to take every bit of energy I could muster. My water was running low, so desperate measures were needed – I empted the one and only electrolyte sachet into my remaining water and hoped it would last me through to the end. I scrambled up yet another hill and surprise, surprise we were on the out trail. Only ¾ hour and I had visions of at least an hour and a half.

Where were the checks I wondered, although I was up and fairly close to the front runners? I didn’t hear a check called – I asked around and only got a vague response as to whether or not there had been any checks and if so who found them! Soon all such things were forgotten with a nice cold 100 plus and nibbles being handed round before the entertainment began…”
-------------------------------------
As Glamour, Christine, Linda and I sat admiring the hills and debating on whether we should carry on, Smurf and Madam Sin joined us. They advised us to turn round as the trail ahead was very rugged. Before long, Tango came running and puffing and wondering why she was going in for the second time. “It is a lollipop” we told her. “If she hadn’t found us,” Smurf observed, “she could have been going round and round all night.” However we found out that we were in fact on the other side of Tasek Lama

All good things come to an end, Glamour packed her bottle and cups and we all walked back. After one hill, we found Trailblazer at a junction, doing what she knows best, directing every one where to go so that the hens that had gone all the way round did not do what Tango did. And so we all trekked down to the site.

When we got back we found plenty of food laid out for us by the Hares. We even had starters before the shout. During the shout out we were entertained by the Three Boeing Girls, Magic Roundabout, Ah Struth and Mad Marg, perhaps as good-bye to Ah Struth who will sadly be leaving Brunei soon. The JMs tried to make us all join in their weekly entertainment by making us sing “LADIES NIGHT” MM Yeah, What a night……….
Unfortunately most of us cannot sing very well, or may be it was due to the special juice up the hill, because we sounded as though we were returning from a good evening out at a pub or a British football match!!

As we were all very well behaved no one got the Hashit.

Pleasant evening, there was a gathering of like minds, and not so like bodies (worn out already before the start due to that b…..hill) Headed off into a lovely bit of jungle in our usual position at the back of the queue. Rumours started to abound within 10 minutes that the hares were lost!! (God forbid!) The write up did say …” up down up down round about and out” well did that mean a complete U turn after 20 minutes…mmmmm. Continued on anyway and caught up with some dubious characters…Dizzy sucking on a very phallic looking whistle. “Don’t worry girls it is sterilized” says Dizzy, she offered to share it as she was heading on back. Sid took the offering, but promised not to suck or mutilate…Continued on to the check, steep hills, front runners had turned back (yes the rumour was correct!) We eventually ended up at the check, could hear the hens clucking in the gullies, front runners by this time were on out…so we turned tails as well. More hills on back, but eventually that lovely pink sky was waiting…

Whilst we were all in the jungle, Survivor did a quick hash dash down the hill to the road and back up again…What a gal! She needs a down down for such a marathon effort.

We waited and we waited some more, eventually the Hares came out, looking more like Hang Dogs, than cooked chooks!!! However when all was said and done, they looked after us all and kept us safe…Well done.

Guest appeared to have an enviable job, a ratio of one gal to loads of fit men??? Medical officer indeed, what a story??? Rumour has it that some of our more vocal members were off to the Men’s hash following night to meet the other members of the crew….”lots of rounds of In the Navy being sung”

Photos shows hens negotiating the bridge that the hares had constructed so they will not get too wet! Also, to the hens' surprise they found Survivor on the out trail having walked in for about half an hour and heard the calls for the last check...... ED

It was yet another hot and humid day. I got there early to find the tent in place, and plates of yummy food being put down. Hmm.. it was a shame that I couldn’t stay to help out with the eating of it all.

Before heading off I had a thought, (just the one) and put a reminder into my phone to remember to get the signs on my way home. I think that is the 1st time I haven’t had to go back for them!! Progress.

We headed off into dst jungle, wound our way round a very nice track, after 15 minutes we came upon first check, after a short while it was called on ahead. Not too long after I came to second check and it wasn’t long before it was found by Anna and laid through. I must have slowed down, not that I got out of a brisk walk for the entire hash as I heard in the distance third check being called on paper. Before I knew it, I was in sight of the cars and tent. Survivor was ahead of me, almost out and it was all over. Just the hash I needed.

After a full on day this hash seemed the perfect end to the day. No hills, no mud, no water, no drama’s, just a wonderful meander through the jungle. It was just a shame I couldn’t stay. It was dedicated to all the grandma’s but I tell you, a perfect hash for a busy mum!

I can’t comment on the on on as I had to race off, but I’m sure it was a lovely evening. I did see Eastern Promise promoting Mad Marg’s baskets with fervor and the trade did seem rather brisk, perhaps she might look at car sales.

SITE: LUCKY GARDENS
HARE: Magic Roundabout/(Absentee) Linda
HENS: 41 CHICKS: 4

On arrival at the site, and contemplating whether my car would survive the muddy track made me a bit late in signing in. The tent was not where I had imagined and off we went to the flat clearing, and soon hens were going in all directions. After ascertaining that there one was a short run on yellow paper and a long run on pink paper after lots of calls and signals as to where each group were going, I settled for a trot in the jungle on the long run.

Not long in, I met Rozi and Wina who must have been so engrossed in some discussions - probably Rozi’s coming wedding and house moving that they had gone off paper! Good luck Rozi on your big day. After a few pleasantries, they were soon off up the hill and I did not see them again till back at the tent!

The hill, just went on and on and on and on, and at times, I could hear the front pack checking but never caught up till the last check. The constant drone of bulldozers reminded us of the continual disappearance of the jungle, and when traffic was heard we had popped up by the Salambigar link road. We then had a diversion to view what was left of Bini Hutan’s house where fond memories of many ladies hash Christmas runs started. A pile of rubble complete with a pool greeted us and I could imagine just how Juergen had felt that Saturday morning in February when he looked out of his window and saw his garden where we were standing at the “viewing platform”!

Off we went again, and as we ran along the ridge, we veered towards the left where another chunk of the jungle had been bulldozed. We went across the cleared bit and back into the jungle we went. Back again on familiar lucky garden trails we were out where the short run started.

Shout up began with Magic celebrating her 300th run, and Jan Murphy ordained as “Possum” by our duly attired JMs. Jokes then centred on nuns and the hens, especially Madam Sin came to the party which had the whole coup in stitches.

No hashit was given – again – although a “rain check” on some sin by a hasher who had left could be forthcoming next week…….

We then enjoyed healthy pastas and salad that Magic had prepared and the circled slowly diminished towards the end of the night while the rain stayed away. On on

NEXT WEEK’s RUN: DST – Dedicated to all the grandmas - Bring a plate (with food) to share

Hares: Alison, Cheryl and Sue
Hens: 53 Chicks: 2


My co hare Linda did run (walk) the Diplo site last week and was to do the write up for last weeks run but is in hospital having an operation, what a way to get out of writing the words! Good luck, hope all goes well Linda and we will be thinking of you.

Now I didn’t run last week as I had done 3 days of recce for another run and was pooped, no other way to describe it, so had a birds eye view for a change sitting in (hash) sartorial spendour all cool and scrubbed up and seeing the first of Tuesdays elite running coterie staggering in red faced gasping to confront the hares of the day,

“Didn’t know there where so many **#* hills in Diplo” !

“Nice one girls, did you deliberately look for every hill in the jungle”!

Then the gaggle arrived in little groups,

“good run, so many hills, thought I might die on the last one”

“Bill’s Hill, was that where I was, that was where Jane and Malcolm spent the night’ should change the name to Honeymoon Hill”. Good luck to you too Jane, hope your run was a success.

Racket tailed drongos? Heard tin cans rattling, was that the sound they make”????

And so another lovely run in what is still an untouched bit of jungle just hanging in there as we are being encroached by diplomatic residences. No tent, we are having a little problem with the tent suppliers according to Alice so a large number of hash chairs were produced from boots and we all settled down under another lovely Brunei evening sky

Shout Up proceeded in orderly fashion then we were all tasked to revert to childhood to play paper- rock- scissors but with a twist which had many of us struggling with coordination skills. No hashit was awarded as far as I can recall. A lovely healthy supper was provided by the hares and another Tuesday evening passed in contentment

On On. Magic.

HARES: TRAILBLAZER/TINA L/SURVIVOR
HENS: 44 CHICKS: 5

Another hot sticky day in Brunei, another Tuesday, another Ladies Hash.
Our venue this week, my old stomping ground, Jalan Aman.

I have so many happy memories of living in Jalan Aman. We first moved there in 1993 from the farthest reaches of Tutong.

Jalan Aman seemed so civilized by comparison, after all, the house had air con and wardrobes! Luxury! It was a great time to live in Jalan Aman as there were so many families with so many kids. I never had to bother taking Hamish out to find company it was all there on our doorstep!

The one place the kids loved to play was ‘Dog Hill’ (so called as the kids saw a dog there once!) and as we set off on the hash last Tuesday and climbed ‘Dog Hill’ all those lovely memories came flooding back! Ah! So there we were scrambling up ‘Dog Hill’ on to first check. The check was quickly found, not so sure by whom, and then we were on our way through the scratchy bracken and trippy undergrowth.

At second check there seemed to be some confusion as to whether the check was ‘on back’ or ‘on ahead!’ Sue tried to explain that the on paper was found back from the check therefore the call should be ‘on back’ but others were not convinced. However, on we went through more scratchy bracken a wee bit of water and found ourselves coming out beside some houses. To the amusement of the residents of the simpang, our raggle taggle (Scottish saying) bunch of hashers emerged from the jungle wondering where the hell we were!

As we walked along the simpang and on to highway I heard a child shouting, ‘Hello teacher!’ Sure enough it was one of the kids from my school. As we strolled along the highway, Sonia said she felt vunerable walking on the road and I think we all agreed with her. However, very quickly we were back at base camp in Jalan Aman.

At the shout up the hares were thanked in the usual manner for laying such a great hash. There were no guests or new members. I made an announcement about the forthcoming Serunai Singers concert, which by the way is on the 15th and 16th of May at 7.30pm at the Mabohai Club.

Tickets are priced at $20, which includes a buffet finger food supper. Come for a bit of Handel, Haydn and Bruckner, with the Seekers thrown in!

Our JM celebrated her 100th run and treated us all to a Ladies Hash sticker, a very nice gesture. Hash shit was dispensed to Veronica, Diana and Satu Lagi.

The hares provided delicious satays, which were savoured under the stars.

This week’s run is the usual Diplo stuff. I was only joking last week when I said you had to rappel, canoe and rock climb. If you do, I apologize in advance.
Everyone should manage to go round, but if in doubt please only go to first check. One last thing, please be on the look out for the Greater Racket-Tailed Drongo. We saw one on our recce.
On on! Cheryl

HENS: 45 CHICKS: 10

It was a hot and humid day and it was tempting to just sit in our chairs
and relax with an icy drink in Ruthless Pursuit's lovely garden. With
reservations I thought why not after all it would be nice to run in an area
that I thought I knew - a dam, lovely fruit trees and not too many hills
that we could not handle. Besides my co-hare for next week had delegate the
writing of the words to me!

Much to our shock the run was longer than what we have been getting the
past few weeks. I could hear a lot of swearing up ahead ....Fxxx.....!!!
......Shit........! but they plodded on and completed the run. The lovely
view at the top of the ridge and the breeze by the dam compensated for the
longer than usual run. Nearly everybody took time to stop and enjoy
although it would have been lovely if the dam had more water and we could
cool off crossing it.

Magic Roundabout was leading the pack and found first check, actually she
also found the second check although I was too far behind to hear her call
..On paper ..for the second check. Magic Roundabout felt that she had
Roadrunner for company and completed the run in good time. I found it scary
walking back to On On site on the wrong side of the road at dusk.

Back on site we were welcomed with a cocktail and the sight of all the food
cooking on the BBQ, sausages, prawns, onions plus a variety of salads. What
followed next was hip filling....all those lovely traditional desserts
(Apple strudel, Pavlovas, Anzac biscuits, Lamingtons, Minties........etc
all provided for by the Kiwis and Aussies, am I glad to have completed the
run!

Hares were thanked and we welcomed one guest, a Japanese-American whose
name I found very difficult to remember and a new member introdued by
another new member. Again I cannot remmember the name as i must have been
too tired, forgetful or simply .....!!!

Next our JM's did their special rendition for all those April birthday
celebrants followed with a down down, jokes and announcements. Hash Shit
was given out in a different way (the drink bucket was used) to Amanda W
and Tracey.

It was a lovely evening and a big thank you to all the Kiwis and Aussies
for everything.

HARES: British Ladies
HENS: 41 CHICKS: 10

What do they say – Hurrah Hurrah!!!!

It was an overcast afternoon that saw us all gather at Serasa Yacht
Club for the prestigious St George’s Run. We arrived to a colorful
array of… Red and White… Everywhere.

Gathering by the pool we were to discover an interesting run of sorts
– find a clue, go to another clue, complete all the clues to
eventually complete the run. For some of us antipodeans a bit hard to
do when most clues meant very little to us… But with a few brilliant
minds amongst the group nothing was too hard.

Now a bit hard for me to remember all the clues but here it goes:

First clue… “Peewee - spend a penny”... If you ask me I thought she’d
be like any good kiwi spending a penny - AT THE BAR. But no… off to
the long drops we go!Next clue… “Down Brighton’s Pier” (Where’s that?)

And off we go again. Next Clue… Shoes by the beach... Ah – one we
understand!

Next Clue… Ok real tricky – why cant we just say LAMPOST!!

Next clue… Oxford and Cambridge… Visiting universities? No it’s rowing
(go figure)

OK, from here to flag poles then to the ends of England. Or should I
say Serasa Spit!! Then the long run/walk/chat home to Serasa Yacht Club.

Aaah, we made it to discover we get stickers on our chest and off to
play Top Town (Ha one for the kiwi’s!). First skipping, which I must
say was very good fun. Next Hula Hoops – ok, you’d think with hips and
thighs like I’ve got the thing would stay UP! Egg and spoon race (nice
style Willi and Kate) and finally up and down up and down in the sacks
we go (again hip thigh problem of getting them in the sack). RUN
COMPLETE!! Then lovely bandana gifts and off to the showers.

The On-on was very enjoyable. Lovely cocktails and Bunny Girl looking
HOT! Everyone dressed in red and white. We welcomed a new guest Willi
Anne.

On-up made special mention of those who stood OUT in the various
games: Yann and Smurf proving GREAT IN THE SACK, Melissa and Gail
proving GREAT WITH THEIR HIPS IN THE HOOPS, Kate, Willi and Judy
proving they GREAT WITH KITCHEN UTENSILS AND FOOD, and Ready Mix and
Diane proving they COULD GIVE ROCKY A RUN FOR HIS MONEY ON THE ROPES!

Lucky draws followed then a wee music quiz!!!!

A special mention was also made in regards to a collection to go to
the Breast Cancer Society in memory of Lee. So dip deep ladies as Hens
Hash is going to match whatever we donate. Also, our wonderful Jane
will be doing a 5km walk and we can all sponsor her through a special
website.

Satu Lagi accomplished her 50 runs and rewarded with the customary pot.
Shout up done.

And finally an English evening would not be complete without yummy,
yummy fish and chips (& green mushy things too!!!) followed by home
baking. (On-up – want your sponge recipe!)

Then BOOGIE ON DOWN to Disco Diva! We love you WHAM!!

Hey you wonderful English ladies – a really enjoyable, fun great
night. Thanks so much for all your effort and time.
