FRONT HORN: Ryvita BACK HORN: Alice in Wonderland

After 4 weeks absence, it was good to come back and see the big crowd gathered at Ruthless Pursuit's house. When I heard that Ruthless Pursuit and Pee Wee (2 seasoned hashers!!! and hetro hashers also!!) had set tonight's run, I was a bit dubious but I needed the exercise as having been in Melbourne in the freezing cold, the only exercise I got there was switching the electric blanket from 0 to 3!!!

Off we ran at 5-15pm with Ryvita leading the way - once we left the driveway of Ruthless Pursuit's house, some of the hens ran to the right but a whistle from one of the hashers soon brought them back to Jalan Muara.

Locals drove past tooting and waving as we made our way down the road, then we made a sharp right turn into the jungle. It was a lovely track well worn and trampled down so it easy to follow up and down and up and down. Thank goodness the ups and downs were gentle - well sort of gentle!!! There was a fabulous view from the top and as we wandered down the hill I kept thinking what a great run.

Alas we then struck the dreaded streams and mud - first of all, there was a bit of screaming as large ants (were they red ants or bull ants - not sure but they were biting little buggers!! and they certainly made us hurry over the first crossing and onto the muddy path and along the stream. So much for keeping clean, this is a hash and all true hashes always have MUD!!!!

As we exited the stream and back onto the path, 2 dogs barking (good name for a wine but I digress!) kept us company until we were back at Ruthless Pursuit's house.

After signing out, we hosed ourselves down and got changed and waited for the shout up. Two guests were introduced - Roslyn who has been here for 3 years and someone else (couldn't hear her name from down the back! (Tamsin I believe. ED) who has been here for 11 years attending their first hash!!!.

Returning hasher Marcella had a down down to celebrate her return.

Bit of housekeeping advice from the JMs - if the paper has fallen into the mud or water and is being trampled over, or wet, could the front runners try and put some paper on the branches - it is easier for the late runners to find their way out - thanks to the hasher for waiting for Mad Marg and co. to come out safely.

Speedo told a joke about a woman wanting to be 12 again - her husband thought she meant 12 years old but she meant size 12 so the moral of the tale was even when a man is listening, he is gonna get it wrong.

Couple of announcements made - Not Yet still selling pot plants and next week's run has been changed to Diplo.

Sarong(one of the Hares for next week's run) was off sick and nearly got me the hashit as she called just as Diva announced we were starting the shout up!!! The phone call was quickly cut off!!!!

Hashit was awarded to Mrs Merlot and Bella - they didn't sign in or out!!!(They did not sign in and was a self confession to the JMs. ED) so Not Yet had great pleasure in chucking the water over them and handing the chooks over to them.

A delicious chicken curry and dahl with big rotis was served for our supper - thank you Hares for a great run and good tucker.

FRONT HORN: Claire C BACK HORN: Jane

WOW – what can I write after Squeak’s awesome words last week. The use of chicken language was awesome and I didn’t see the word ‘rooster…..’ used anywhere….

Anyhow, me wee chickadees… we all arrived to Lower Diplo on a very very overcast day to find many of our hashers back from holidays and rearing to go. It was good to see everyone coming back nice and safe after their holidays abroad and ladies catching up on all the news.

Claire our front horn started us all off at 5.15pm and away we went. Up the road and in to the jungle and down down to our first wee river crossing – where most people went straight through up to your shins and some tentatively used some old trees across the wee river. One of our first time guests called Honey was assisted across with some coaxing but finally made the plunge into the water and across ….

The hash was lovely and as I was at the rear with Jane chatting away.. we missed the checks but I do believe that Trailblazer discovered the first and I think Ready Mix was on to the next one, not sure about third check sorry. Speaking of Trailblazer….. I also believe she decided to have her evening bath in one of the river pools and had a few hashers concerned when they discovered her wallowing in the water ….. must have been cold!! I was assured she had removed her front pouch with phone etc in and was enjoying her bath!!

The hash contained something for everyone, .. water crossings, mud, trees to traverse, mud, hills, mud, lovely jungle, oh and some mud. Few slippery experiences but all out safe and sound by probably about 6.30ish. It was a really good run and I enjoyed Lower Diplo which I haven’t done for a while.

Then on to the shout up and down down to our hares for a great hash. A welcome to two guests – Meryl (great to see ya finally made it) and Honey (wonderful he/she dog belonging to our lovely Aunty Lynn…)

Then welcome a new member – YAYYYYYY – Rebecca…. You have the rules now so no excuse when it comes to hashit.

Then we had some special awards – Squeak making 100 runs and our Bunny Girl for making 150 runs. Congrats ladies!!!!

We had our very own Speedo deliver us a special joke via Not Yet…

After very quick announcements it was time for hashit….. but alas no one this week!!

Amazing food was provided by our hares but……. Our lovely Duchess had departed earlier with the plates and cutlery still in her car…. So she was contacted and returned with eating implements and away we went!!!

Thank you to our hares for your run and food!!!ed once received.

FRONT HORN: Readymix BACK HORN: Trailblazer

After brooding over the words all day, here they are:

A larger clutch of hens than we’ve had in the past 6 weeks flocked together tonight, after so many who had flown the coop to go sunny side up returned home to roost. The sign waiting for us from the hens who laid the run certainly ruffled a few feathers with its ominous “very wet and slippery, there are hills, you have been warned” message.

‘Who will help me carry the horn?’ asked our little red hen. Most were too chicken, but Readymix and Trailblazer took up the challenge. We continued clucking about until Readymix egged us on by squawking the horn right on time, then off into the jungle we flew.

The more flighty hens rushed off on the paper pellet trail to first check, which was a back check nuggetted out by Ruthless Pursuit. Second check required a bit more scratching about but was finally found by the well seasoned Magic Roundabout. The very plucky Readymix completed the final check and, after scrambling up a steep climb with some wobbly knees, everyone was out.

Back at the henhouse, the shout up began with a big cheer for the hares. Duchess preened as she was congratulated on her upcoming birthday – her spring chicken status never in doubt. There was a real pecking order for the special awards, with Kellie on 50, Peahen on 350, and Cheryl on 400 – something to really crow about!

Announcements took a more somber tone with the sad news that Velma’s brother passed away. Our thoughts go out to her.

Jane mentioned an away trip to Temburong at the end of the month, Not Yet is a grandmother, and kids hash is on this weekend. We all cracked up after Alice in Wonderland’s Frog Prince joke. Beluga and Not Yet shared some examples of how easy it is to get egg on your face when speaking in English.

Then it was time for hashit. Knowing that the early bird catches the worm, Diva had had a stickybeak at the sign-in board and plucked out two offenders. We all crowed when it was revealed that Serene had not signed in and Not Yet and not signed out.

The food was, of course, finger licking good. It was a very pleasant night, with the last hardy hens finally departing when the sky started falling.

Don’t worry, next time I might shell out on some new jokes!

FRONT HORN: Ruthless Pursuit BACK HORN: Squeek

A hot sweaty bunch of hashers (and that was before we set off into the jungle!) gathered at lower Diplo on Tuesday. Not many of us, a select bunch!

There was a telephone call from the hares, saying to go back at second check; sounded good to me. It was so hot and humid, not pleasant for a delicate flower such as myself!

Magic sounded the horn and off we went. Pleasant trails, made me remember the time I was rescued by Sid and Lone Ranger. I was with an Indian lady and we were so far behind everyone else and it began to get dark, so of course we became slower and slower. Eventually this lady told me she hoped to get out soon because she had an operation in the morning. I asked her what kind of operation she was having and she told me, ‘Oh no my dear, I am the surgeon!’

Eventually we heard voices and out of the gloom came Fletcher Rescue Inc. bearing torches and 100+. They got us out and we trudged back to the on-on to celebrate with the ‘librarians’.

That wasn’t going to happen to me this time, although later, according to Madam Sin and Smurf, it almost happened to the hares.

Anyway, the hash was fine, very pretty in parts; a couple of water crossings, a bit of mud, a bit of slipping down slopes and puffing up hills. Well done ladies, a good hash despite your hassles.

I suppose because there weren’t that many of us, we ended up sitting in a big circle, a bit like girl guides. Not that many girl guides swig beer or gin and tonic but you know what I mean!

Ruthless Pursuit started off the shout-up with the hares, who told us we were lucky not to have done Friday’s hash (at the same site), an arduous ordeal by all accounts.

There were no special runs to celebrate and nearly no entertainment until Psycho remembered a joke. It was about computers, but I am not sure I understood it! Then Alice told us about a 24hour breast-feeding hot-line. Very useful information for those of us in that situation, thankfully not me!

Back to Psycho, who announced she is looking for a house and Alice, who has a friend selling furniture. It all happens at the Ladies Hash!

Hash Shit time found Clover, Christine and Duchess charged with flower violations. Clover and Christine were watered for their crime!

The shout up ended and delicious laksa was provided by the hares. Thanks ladies for the food and the run.

About 30 hens set off at 5.15 on a road run round the houses to end up at the water tower, which they also ran round, before plunging into the jungle. Some devious hens had short cut straight to the water tower, to the surprise of those who had diligently followed the paper.

A short distance down the trail, Kelly was found standing with one hand full of paper and the other clutching the horn. When asked if the check had been found, she said yes but wasn't sure if it was being laid through. So the three short cutting amigos, offered to go and make sure this was being done and just as they were beginning to wonder where the hash had gone, they were almost knocked over by Ruthless Pursuit.

She was doing a great impression of a hound as she had dashed off to the on paper and then rushed back to lay the check through. What a woman! This was in fact the only check and from then on it was a good run out to the tent and as some people are desperately fit, they decided to go round the run again for the extra calorie burn.

At the shout up there were 3 guests (minus one who had left early actually - Emma), Rachel and Jenny were welcomed and Tis Alice (in Wonderland ) told 2 more, funny jokes and then we were served delicious food and another ladies night drew to a close under a cloudless sky. On on.

I arrived at the site nice and early, I sorted out my bits i.e; put my shoes and socks on and took the water and bucket up that steep driveway!

Ruthless Pursuit arrives and asks me to hold the front horn whilst she nips to the Loo, so i end up being front horn with my new bad foot & stiff muscles. I go for it as best as I can down the Simpang and into Sam's garden, I ran past a Giraffe and a Gorilla in her garden (Honest) we then had to go through the gate over the drain and into the jungle.

A few hills, a few slippery steps, 2 checks Ruthless pursuit found one and i don't know who found 2nd. The run was about 35mins for front runners as Madam Sin looked at her watch as we began to arrive. It was a lollypop run very pleasent, thankyou girls Well Done for laying your 1st Run!

We all went to Karin's for the ON ON. A lovely Green drink was served with Dips and crudites,then followed by Burgers, Salad, Buns, Chickpea and Pumpkin salad and Coleslaw, oh and Banana cake. Yummy!

Mad Marg had taken over from Legally Blonde for a week or 2. Alice told us a few jokes.Rebecca was a first time guest from Manchester,UK.

Sarah, Danielle & I headed off in the rain towards Diplo & actually made the horn this week which is a rare thing. Tango, Speedo & Ruthless Pursuit off again at lightning pace. They were slowed down at the first check tho’ with hashers going off in all directions in search of paper.

Finally Sarah found the trail & we were back on paper with Speedo & co having to first find their way back through the jungle after the search.

I tried to keep up with Ruthless Pursuit but there was no holding her back. The other front runners had soon caught up again & were fast overtaking until we came across the huge log which slowed them down. There was another way around which a couple of us took & I was surprised to find myself once again up the front, thinking that if I kept up the pace going up towards the ridge I may just stay ahead.

Ruthless Pursuit was spotted returning from the 2nd check & we turned back at this stage to follow the trail going in the opposite direction & back on paper. Danielle & Squeek just up ahead & we came out first with Tango & the others not far behind. A great trail with a bit of everything thrown in !

Back to the tent where we celebrated Smurfs 550 runs & Possums 200^th. Lolly scramble followed with Possum giving out chocolates & then we all enjoyed the salads & chicken that the hares had done.

Sarah & I had to collect the signs & I jumped out at the lights & ran to get the last one then disappeared down the drain ! Must have been funny to see but my knee so sore I wasn’t laughing & worried that I may be out of action for laying next weeks hash.

FRONT HORN: Ruthless Pursuit BACK HORN: Squeak

After my long trip to Dadap the week before I left home bright and early to find traffic an absolute breeze and I made it to site in no time at all.
Sleazy Gardens is such a lovely site to run from with the lovely pool area and good off the road parking.

At first there didn’t seem to be many of us but then Squeak got an SOS call from our newest members to confirm then were heading in the right direction. … So with their arrival Ruthless Pursuit beeped her horn and we were off.

Tango was back from her holiday and off she went at lightning pace up the hill with Ruthless Pursuit hot on her heels. As we were going up the road we could see some more hashers driving past.

Into the jungle and across the wee riverbed, around the bull dozed corner, up the hill and . . . “Checking from here!!!”. Tango faithfully ran on, people started checking and I managed to go back down another big hill and faithfully search away.

OK – 10 minutes still no paper found - - Squeak took over “Checking from here” and Ruthless Pursuit runs ahead to assist Tango . . . 15 minutes - - still no paper. Gathering around the check to discuss possibilities and Speedo and Alice in Wonderland advise they think they found paper further back but thought they’d heard the cry of “On Paper” earlier on so must have been wrong paper. . . . So back down the hill we start heading and they run on to find the On Paper!!!!! Yay – 20 minutes check!! Poor hares we find out afterwards were faithfully waiting in the jungle to lay the paper out and watched us dally around!!

So onto paper we headed through the jungle, over the rivers and I’m sure my right foot found every boggy muddy marsh available – even up to my knee at one point trying to extract my foot to not lose my shoe. Back out onto more bull dozed trails and out the way we came in.

Back to the pool and I do believe most ladies jumped in the pool!!! Absolute bliss!!!

Then time for the shout up and we celebrated Mad Marg’s 350th run!!!! And also had the hashers up who did the interhash in Kuching for a down down. Speedo told some brilliant jokes – (and yes I parted my curtains on my computer before starting up windows!!).

To our hares – thank you for the wonderful food – yummy chicken drumsticks and homemade pizzas to die for!!!!! And of course – New Zealand lollies brought back by Mad Marg – YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY – EH WINA!!!!!!!

Thank you for a lovely run, food, and hospitality. Although our numbers were smaller than usual it was a lovely hash!!!
