Elaine After several weeks of Diplo and other hashes at the same site, the hens set off and we were soon down familiar in-trail of previous runs. Front runners were off and we seem to be following the river for a bit and believe first check took a while and some confusion later after 2nd check as to where paper was as there appeared to be some old paper leading a few a stray. Hens were calling here and there and groups formed and decisions made. A good work out and thanks to the hares in response to filling in for a run that Dizzy had booked but alas, Dizzy was still flying around and did not get back in time. I heard a few hens proceeded to the wrong site and Readymix was all the way at Kota Batu before turning around and headed for Diplo. Returning hasher from Manila Running Bare was welcomed together with her guest Julie who originated from England. Thanks hares for the yummy food, and also to Jenny from the block for the sweet corn (she had got the wrong week for bring and share). This week's run: Diplo again, but back to the usual lower part. on on

RUN NO. 2197 - 28 SEP - BUKIT MENTERI
Site: Bukit Mentiri
Hens: Never Wrong, Kellie
Front Horn: Claire C
Back Horn: Sue
After a wonderfully peaceful day off (thank you Teacher’s Day) I was rip-roaring and ready to go to hash. As we were heading to a new site, I left a little early and looked carefully for the sign at the roundabout that was promised (I obviously need my eyes tested again though because I completely missed it, although people arriving after me swore it was there!). Anyway, I managed to spot the next sign and sailed into the appropriate simpang just in time to direct the tent truck to a delightful little clearing next to a rather foreboding hill.
By the time the hash was almost ready to set off my rip-roaring attitude had mellowed to a more gentle ‘I think I’m ready.’ This unfortunate mood swing was decided by some fairly ominous signs of impending stormdom in the form of rain splotches and thunder cracks.
Anyway, we set off at the appropriate time on a proper trail, just for a change, with ropes to help the more feeble among us (i.e. me) up hills, and little signposts stating the distance that each new path would take us before we could get out again. All in all, a very pleasant change.
The views were lovely, but I’m not sure how many checks there were or who found them, as I decided that I didn’t really need to have a shower before I got home. As I was definitely going to have one if I completed the entire hash, I decided that I would short-cut out on one of the well-signposted trails. (Sorry hares!)
Needless to say, the sky opened up and all the stalwart troops who did the hash properly got soaked – congratulations and well done, I like the attitude! Rain kept all formalities to a minimum, there were no jokes or announcements to share or hashit given out as no-one could hear anything. We did have a first time guest, Cath from England – I wonder what she thought of us and whether she will come back?
The hares provided a delicious make-it-yourself burger dinner which was much appreciated by all. Unfortunately the tent flooded underfoot and most hashers were gone by 7pm. Hopefully the wet season will stop (again?!) soon and make our evenings more conducive to longer gatherings.
On On
Next Hash: Lower Diplo
RUN NO. 2196 - 21 SEP - MENTERI/SALAMBIGAR LINK
We have not done a run at Menteri Salambigar for quite a while so it was good to do somewhere different. We commenced the run at a different spot along the road from the usual entrance point and continued along the picturesque trail which weaved in and out .The checks must have been discovered quite easily for as usual I was not far enough ahead to be a part of them.
I originally thought the hares were being kind and that the hills were quite gentle but soon changed my mind after about a half an hour,when we struck at least two challenging hills which proved to test my leg muscles.
There were a few slippery downward slopes and some hens came out with muddy backsides but the weather was kind so we did not get too muddy and dirty. At the shout up one first time guest Marcella from the UK was introduced.Returning hasher Schnapps from Brisbane was welcomed back for a brief visit and she proceeded to shower some hares with beer.
Legally Blonde celebrated her 250th run and we celebrated Janes 50 years strong birthday with lovely cake. Alice wearing the new jokers hat entertained us with an amusing joke.
Once again there were no calls for the Hashit so Mrs Merlot and Bella still hold it.
The hares put on delicious chilli.
Thank You
RUN NO. 2195 - 14 SEP - DIPLO
After the run Mad Margz was selling some lovely rattan baskets; I brought a huge one which will make a fantastic laundry basket.
There were several first time guests this week. There was Kat from the UK who has been in Brunei for seven years! Seven years without hash — well, better late then never!! Then we had Kerry who was also from the UK but had only been here for three and a half weeks. Lisa from New Zealand was popping over for a holiday (I’m sure the hash will be the highlight) and finally Lena, also from New Zealand who works for CFBT.
Congratulations to Fiona who has now done her 50 runs!!
Then came the jokes of the evening. Cheryl had an interesting joke about a clever poodle and a leopard and Alice entertained the crowd with her joke about being naked when you’re older.
Nobody got the hashit but Virginie must still be in the running for not signing out two weeks ago.
Thank you for a lovely run.

RUN NO. 2192
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.
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.

RUN NO. 2191 - SPG 378 SUBOK 17 AUG 2010
RUN NO. 2191
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!

RUN NO. 2190 - 10AUG - DIPLO
RUN NO. 2190
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.

RUN NO. 2189 - SPG 791 JLN MUARA - 3 AUG 10


RUN NO. 2189
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.

RUN NO. 2187
Front Horn : Ruthless Pursuit Back Horn : Claire ( the sax player )
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 200th. 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.
