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 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.

NEXT RUN: Spg 370 Jln Muara, Kg Sg Tilong - Bring your own chair and lots of mozzie spray.

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!!!

FRONT HORN: Pee Wee BACK HORN: Cheryl

Well I arrived late as usual to a lonely Hash site and the vision of cleared Jungle in front of me.

Off I trekked into the juggle saying to myself for the 4^th week that I must get a new pair of Hash Shoes ones that actually have rubber stops and not like my current tired shoes.

It was not long before a could hear voices up ahead and letting out my usual On On call a reply came echoing back. I stumbled across Madam Sin, Smurf and Possum like the three musketeers ,who had only been in the jungle for about 7 minutes and had advised me they had already taken 3 wrongs turns, it was now more like 3 Blind Mice!. Off I ran to try and catch the rest of the pack, it was Trailblazer who advised me in a motherly tone as I ran through , I hope your taking this all in for the words, my reply was of course lots of green and lots of water.

I don’t recall ever so many water crossing of various sizes and degrees of difficulty – “All Good I say”!

In fact I noted that at no time during the whole run the sound of running water could not be heard, this was very peaceful and soothing. As usual Dadap had enough mosquito to eat you alive so no time to dawdle.

I made good time and back to the camp site. My apologies to those who took on the horns and those who found the checks as I did not record this valuable statistic, as I was kept rather busy at the Hooley Dooley Barr.

(Two new members Elaine and Shantal were welcomed to the coop. ED)

Great Run Ladies and really Yummy Tucker, thanks heaps.

RUN NO. 2184

SITE: MATAMATA

HARES: Satu Lagi/Virginie/Patricia

HENS: 43 CHICKS: 2

FRONT HORN: Pee Wee BACK HORN: Psycho

Last night Satu Lagi took two virgins deep into the jungle.... hmm, sounds like the beginning of a very bad joke, but she has beaten me to all the major achievements - first to get a hash handle, first to become a front runner (never going to be an option for me), and now first to 100 runs - but I'm not jealous (MUCH). Enjoy your time in the sun Satu Lagi, and just remember that by the time you get back from your holiday, I'll be in front! (cue maniacal laughter HAHAHAHA).

Anyway, congratulations to Virginie and Patricia on having cherries popped. If all your runs are as good as the one last night, we'll be very happy.

True to form, Matamata was its usual slippy self, we crossed what I'm sure was the exact same stream almost a dozen times (I think we must have been trying to lose any pursuing dogs), and the last hill qualified as an aggravated assault (I for one was pretty aggravated by the 3/4 mark) with menaces (the people behind me were threatening/discussion Xmas cards featuring all the butts they could see struggling up the hill). However, the view from the summit made sure all was forgiven and the out trail was sloping downwards (always popular!) I can even comment on the checks this week as, miracle of miracles, I actually saw them. There were three, and they were duely found by Bunny Girl, Ryvita and Claire C. Honorable mention must be made of Pee Wee and Psycho were were our guiding horns.

At the shout-up Beluga and Satu Lagi were congratulated on reaching their century mark. We were reminded that the pussy book is still on sale (all proceeds to charity), and Pickled Lilli announced that she was selling her moped (all proceeds to her pocket). Sarah and Karin almost got the hashit for "failure to meme", but redeemed themselves by promising to lay a run in the next six weeks. (We still have a couple of runs available - see Trailblazer for openings!)

The food (and the 'you made it out' drink) provided was excellent, the company delightful, and the evening sublime.

Cor Blimey! the last time we gathered here was 30th March! but a lot longer than that for me as I can't remember the last time I was here!

We gathered together in a huge shed affectionately known as George's shed - a fire was lit to keep away the mossies and there were some huge fans blowing as well so a great place to have a shout up. The bar was set up and the golden dog was sitting on the bar guarding the liquid refreshment when we took off at 5-15pm with a toot from Magic Roundabout. We ran off up the road and up a BIG hill to start with!! After the last 2 weeks' runs of gentle flat runs, this was a huge shock and certainly got the heart pumping!

Up we went, followed by a very friendly dog who kept trying to trip us up as he was so excited to be with so many gorgeous female hashers. The paths were lined with fallen leaves making it soft and smooth and we crossed a few small bridges, went uphill and down dale and uphill and down dale and uphill and down dale!! I remember passing by a lovely lake and seeing daylight at the top of one of those uphills!!!

There was very little muddiness this time so our feet were lovely and dry at the end of the run.

Checks were found by Gina first and then Vanessa found the second one and Pee Wee found the third check - a sneaky one up a side path back up the hill!!. We were greeted with delicious rocket fuel drinks on signing out. The committee handed out Mid year run tee shirts in black and pink with members' hash number on the sleeve.

The shout up started soon after and 1 first time guest Katherine from Australia was introduced by Ryvita. Special thanks to Psycho and Satu Lagi for organising the tee shirts and the Sawadee Restaurant for doing the catering, and also to Cheryl and Alison for helping with the reccies and the run tonight. There was hash entertainment from Speedo - jokes about an old folks home and about the Irish winner of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire and Psycho told a joke about vibrators!!!!.

Announcements were made about the Kids' Hash at Tungku Beach this Sunday, the Hetro Hash is at Mata- Mata and the "Threesome"(set by KB, Tutong and Happy Chapters) Hash is on at Telesai Satellite this Saturday.

Velma has copies of book called "Catology" for sale at $10BND - if you are a cat lover, this is a very funny book of collected stories about cats!. All the money will be donated to raise funds for the Animal Shelter.

Anna is having a coffee soiree at her house in Simpang 770 this Friday from 10am to 7pm.

Psycho has a virgin and horny cat on heat - I am not sure if she is looking for female friends for him or she just wanted us to know about her male cat which she reckons belongs to her Mum!!!.

A friendly reminder was given in regards to picking up your own rubbish when you leave and stacking away your chairs, etc. Please don't leave it to the stayers to tidy up after you - it only takes a few seconds to put your cans and bottles into the right bags for recycling and your rubbish into the rubbish bags provided.

Speedo and Sarong (in absentia) were given a cheer for their great efforts in running 5kms in the road race held last Sunday for World Olympic Day at the National Stadium - Speedo ran in 31 minutes and Sarong ran 39 minutes so it was a great effort in the heat!!!.

The call for Hashit was given to Cho for not signing out. Auntie Lynn was so happy to be rid of it!!!. Thanks to the Committee for organising the delicious Thai food also.

A great night - the rain finally came down in great torrents just as we all decided it was time to head off!! so umbrellas and empty buckets were used as raincoats to get back to our cars!!. All that spectacular thunder and lightning but oh so scary to drive in!!!.

HENS: 41 CHICKS: 5 DOGS: 4

How nice it was to have a hash run close to where us muara lepers live.. we usually are the ones who have to traipse half way round Brunei, to get to the next hash.. but today.. it was at our end of the universe.. Hurrah..

The last hash I did here was about 18months ago.. I remembered it well.. as we were searching for the first check for what seemed like hours!!

Anyway.. todays run wasnt like that at all...

We set off up the lane, following a well laid trail of paper... and soon wended our way into the deepest darkest jungle of Muara...

I was fortunate to hear the Checking call so continued down the lane and not into the jungle.. following what I presumed could be the out trail... (funnily enough.. the hares said they saw me and had to lay flat so as not to be seen...) believe me.. I didnt see them!

I heard the ON paper call and headed back to the brooding pack.. (not sure who found what.. sorry)

From here on in we were IN the jungle..

Slippery slithery wet and prickly jungle... NOT my favourite place to be, especially as it had started to rain now.. and seemed to be getting dark.. (Im still Traumatized by the stormy wet diplo hash on margs birthday last year!!!!!!!!)

It became rather boggy and very smelly.. and at this point I was overtaken by two of cath burnetts dogs who decided they were far batter at finding the way through... (and they were)

….. so I decided, there and then... that.. I was going to be a complete wimp and turn back..

I dont like to admit that I turned back.. as I know how much effort is put into laying each and every hash.. and I always kind of feel disloyal... BUT.. im afraid I did wimp out after first check this time...

I walked back though the jungle with Sarah and old lady reflux (Nicole).... we had a good old chat and discussed the merits of us not yomping through the jungle with the others, as the weather was starting to get worse... self preservation won the day today!

I heard the trail took the other (Braver far more hashworthy ladies) over to kapok kanan and then looped back..

The first runner in was the lovely Claire, who was rewarded with a huge round of applause, as the rain was now pelting down... Satu lagi came in next... and somehow I dont think she was impressed with the rain... Nil Point!

The rest of the flock came in in dribs and drabs.. but all were back at the roost safely.

The Down Downs commenced...There was a new member (Please forgive me as I didnt catch her name but shes been here 10 years and teaches at JIS!) there were no special awards and Auntie Lynn got the Hashshit cos A;she could B;it was suggested shes tossed off twice at panaga.and won!. C; there was NO one else! Well taken Auntie Lynn...

Thanks to the hares for the food too...

On On … Pickled lilli (on bahalf of the Committeeeeeeeeeee) (and my last write up b4 I leave!)

FRONT HORN: Tango BACK HORN: Diva

HENS: 40 CHICKS: 8

I arrived at the site feeling really tired, thinking this is going to be very hard work!

Tango on the other had was very enthusiastic, she took the front horn and off we went, 5.15 on the dot! Up the hill, up up and UP and onwards.

We arrived at first check and Tango was convinced it was straight on, through the swampy water. I didn't want to get wet.........
instead I decided to go checking up the hill - bad move and definitely the wrong one as I reach the top of the hill I hear Call girl call "On Paper". Oh well, down I go and join Tango as we head off to the next check.

After too much chatting we decide to start running a bit and I stumble onto second check quite quickly. So far the run has been lovely. Familiar routes and we are all enjoying the jungle and it's ups and downs.

New girl Gina and Magic Roundabout are setting a good pace and we follow pursuit.

Magic Roundabout finds third check and at this point I don't feel that tired anymore. I have got new energy and race off towards the calls.
We are almost "home" and arrive at this open area, surely no more checks?
Lots off us arrive and we are all looking and checking, then I spot Alice in Wonderland far far up a hill. Forth check is found and Gina and I run back to sign out!

Lovely run, everyone's out and no ones lost!

We arrive at Rachel's house greeted by 4 Queens!!!
Lovely red satin outfits with glittery tiara's, they looked very Royal, indeed!
It's the Queens birthday and we are served "Special tea" and lots of Regal , lovely food! Very Yummy!!!
Through out the shout up the Royal's sat in the back on their thrones, taking it all in, like the Royals do.

We had guests Jan and Dhany from NZ and the US and also Erin a returning hasher who's passing through on her travels.
The Queens were handing out Special awards and medals to hashers that had contributed in various ways, all very special and entertaining for all of us.
Lastly the Hash Shit went to Possum and Satu Lagi and they returned it nicely by throwing the water back at us all!!

Thank you ladies for such a GRAND EFFORT and use of Rachel's house!

First day back doing school runs after a weeks break and boy, after moody kids we were happy to see 430pm. Miracles do happen and we were early for the first time in weeks. We were even on site to hear the horn and had forgotten what it sounded like....."toot-toot-toot-toot!!" Lets go! We started running, yes we did, Ms Merlot, Vanessa and Bella (yes even Bella was running) through an open drained area and out to the path on the right. Satu Lagi found an early first check (she was going to have a 'smashing' night) and it was on ahead, up the hill and across a couple creeks, with unstable poles to hang onto-think we all made pretty ballerinas. We thought we were close to the front runners, but it was Claire and Satu Lagi who found the checks to get us out. Hares thought they laid 4 but front runners thought they found 5. We went in and out of the jungle then out onto the road around a huge reservoir (thought we were in Scotland for a minute and saw the Loch Ness monster...) and then back into the jungle....we knew we were on our way back. We came across Speedo and her friend daydreaming, doing a circuit and missing the 'out' completely.

It was a good run, some hashers forgot their shoes and ran in crocs, so luckily we didn't get too wet. We signed out, found out Fertile Myrtle had delivered baby number 4, that Survivor had a baby; that is her daughter had a baby and the shout up was under way. Two guests a Kiwi (Elaine) and a Brit (Shantal), and couple of funny jokes from Miss Pink and Speedo. We wished a speedy recovery to Alison, her hubby and niece after a horrible boating accident, and showered Christine with water and noisy chickens for not signing in! Thanks to the hares for a yummy dinner, AND CONGRATS TO TRAILBLAZER AND READYMIX ON THEIR 400TH RUN, but the night was still young and full of drama. Not only did Satu Lagi lose her mobile phone in the big blue 'Ice Bucket', she was heard from Kuala Belait, 'going off' at her driver for crashing into PeeWee's little Swifty!!!! How much room does a driver need to turn the car??? Apparently more than DST has to offer....maybe we could have our shout ups on the runway, ask for clearance for a few hours so Satu Lagi's driver has plenty of room and no obstacles to smash into....That's one for the suggestion box.

Enjoy ladies, thank you for your kindness. On On!!!
