The starting themes to the Canada run this week were a beautiful new run location and new parts of the jungle to explore.

 

There was oodles of mud, water and hills with some very muddy socks and trainers by the end of the evening. It was worth it as we were treated to the most beautiful view across the Borneo jungle.

Stunning vines, golden sandy river beds and lovely local picture plants along the way were all laid out for us which made the hills feel less steep. With two outs, one long and one not so long we all ended up with some good exercise and more wonderful memories of the jungle with all its wild beauty. Mother Nurture wore the bells all round the jungle as this was her last hash. Ikea found the first and second checks, one of which was unusual and tricky the other very muddy. Mrs Pingu found the 3^rd check. Well done ladies!

JM in sync with theme

The on-on was coloured red and white to match the Canadian day theme with the tent decorated in billowing maple flags.

 

We welcomed 4 first time guests, who are all visiting Brunei by yacht. We also said a very sad farewell to Mighty Maple, whom will be mightily missed.

We were also blessed by Satu Lagi donating a yummy tipple of rum and Mighty Maple setting a Canadian themed quiz for our entertainment. We all received lucky numbers and won Canadian goodies!

 

Poor Trail Blazer received the hash shit for her phone going off but she also received a cooling beverage to celebrate the arrival of another grandchild. Congratulations!

Thank you so much Mighty Maple, Annabel and Satu Lagi.

FRONT HORN:  Ryvita  BACK HORN: Tina

Run 2339 was at 420 Jalan Muara, nice warm day for a run.

It was a live run today, so we had to chase the Hares; Hash Hound, and Speedy Gonzales. There are no checks on this run, and the Hares led the pack with a 2min head start. The third hare Tina did the back sweep. The Women's hash has not done a live run for two years, so we were all pretty stoked to give it a try. Leaders of the pack; Ryvita and Mrs Pingu took off. Often times they could stop the Hares but never quite caught up, arriving 3mins behind the Hares.

Everybody made it back in for the On On, great run, a little water, a little hills and some nice flat land to allow those who wished the opportunity to run.

We had two new visitors tonight, Vanessa who has been studying in the UK and is now her looking for work, the other was Zoe from the UK via New Zealand and has been in the country for 4months. We also had a returning member Jenny who is the daughter of Hot Lips. So welcome to the all.

We than had some celebrations Mother Nurture and Duchess of Cambridge both celebrating their 50th run and Tina who now has completed 350 runs. Way to go girls.

On a sad note we said goodbye to Hashwit who is moving on, she has completed 78 runs. She brings her humor to every Hash and will be missed but all of us. So good luck Hashwit, enjoy your up coming travels. Prior to her departure she treated us to her jokes, and a Poem "Jungle Love".
Another visit last night, was Pee Wee she brought her daughter to her first On On. Start them young, maybe we will start seeing her at Family Hash. The women had a lovely time visiting with Genieve, a great addition to the Hash Family.

Announcements,
1.  Satu Lagi reminded us of the Highland games this week Saturday in Panaga,
2. On the 29th of June in Kota Batu "the Night at the Races".
3. On the board there is a list if you consider yourself a "Brit" put your name on it help with an upcoming Hash.
4. Photo contest, submit your photos to Hash words. It could be picked to be in the Hash Calendar.
5. HashCash has asked that you submit your fees for the second half of the Hash year. The amount is $120.00 due before the 1st of July. Next week, the hash list will be posted with the individuals highlighted that pays dues every 6 months.
6. Well the Founder's Day theme has been announced. The theme is "at the Circus".

Next weeks Hash is the Canada Day theme. It will red and white for the On On. On a personal note I want to say thank you, for letting me be apart of this fantastic group of Women. I will miss my weekly hike through the jungle, and the friendships that have been created. I look forward to taking my experience in to the mountains of Colorado and the Denver Hash program.

View of River at onon

As work had kept me late once more I arrived late at the hash site, however not too late to go in. Slipping and sliding, pulling myself up on the ropes one makes it finally huffing and puffing to the top of the hill just to see some beautiful trails wondering past steep cliffs and lots of mud to slight ON-ON-ON.

Once in for a while we, as I were to carpool it was my mistake for bringing other hashers late to the side my apologies, however as I said when in for a while we stumbled upon our hash ladies who made their way back along the trail. Just to find shortly after a sign stating if you were here past 5.45pm to return....as front runners we looked upon our watches and decided 5.53pm was close enough to continue (something you should never do as a fellow hen would have to go in to find you if you were too late and surely with that in mind we tried to rush ourselves a bit).

 

Past the wall, slip slide and roll all the way down must have made up some time so we were good. A few seconds were taken to look at the beautiful waterfall displayed in front of us, to return to the trail and ON we went. In the mean time we had past some of our dear ladies hashers so we weren't alone.

Coming in late I had no idea where the checks were nor who had found them, but well done ladies for laying the trail through so we could find our way back out and down the steep hill right before it got dark!

 

Thanks front horn Mrs Pinggu and back horn GI Jane for driving the pack back in safety.

After a little drive we were welcomed in Dizzies paradise where songs were sung, hashit was splashed and a wonderful Pakistani dish was presented to us. Not forgetting the amazing chocolate cakes to top off an other wonderful hash evening! Thanks Dizzie and Velma for a great night!

HARES: IKEA/RYVITA

This week's Swedish Run was eagerly anticipated by those who love meatballs and IKEA, and obviously a trek in the jungle!! We turned up to Jalan Muara, some of us driving through rain but luckily it was dry when we got there.

As 5.15 approached it saw a few stragglers making their way to the start point, covered up in anticipation of the promised mozzies!! So with the smell of OFF! in our nostrils we headed off along Jalan Muara and right into what appeared to be a private drive! Having skirted around the edge along a stream we entered the quite different but unexpectedly lovely old orchards where we ran along paths around and up towards the jungle. Those at the front had a moment of confusion where the paper appeared to go left but was then found up ahead so we decided to continue up ahead expecting the other paper to be the out. (That was actually the first check, but hey, mistakes happen!)

On reaching the top of a gentle rise we were all treated to a lovely stretch of water where some took the chance to photograph the scene.

 
 
 

On on we went and through the jungle finding the 2nd and 3rd checks without much bother and dodging the mozzies as we went. A lovely variety with paths, orchards, water and jungle! Although we missed the first check we all enjoyed this slightly easier wander through an area which we may never have discovered if it wasn't for the hash, that's why we love it, expect the unexpected!!

Hares

 

The On On was at IKEA's house where whilst having refreshment we stretched our brains to find any tiny amount of Swedish knowledge we had to complete a quiz all about the land of IKEA! Turns out we don't know much and who knew that Dynamite was invented in Sweden!!! Nicole who was a returning hasher for the first time in a long time apparently knows the most and managed 11 out of 14 in the quiz and hared her winnings of Dime bars amongst us.

 

It was great to see Hares Ryvita and Ikea dressed in their Swedish clothes and they were so carried away by the occasion that they nearly forgot the presence of their friend and first-time hasher Kym, which led to the Hashit being hsared between them and Satu Lagi whose brief to her guest was sabotaged!!!

 

 

After singing to our June birthday girls (Velma, Dizzy & Sue) we were reminded of Hash rules in the jungle and the necessary shouts. Mother Nurture againh enticed us all with her Hash lights job with cute light bulb torches and the job was gratefully taken on by Karlene.

 

We were then treated to some excellent Swedish fare, meatballs and fab gravy and sauce with scrummy potatoes, topped off with chocolate!! What more could you ask for? Than you ladies!!!

HARES: SUE/POSSUM

Being that this weeks run was at Mata Mata I knew I had to get going to get there in time.
It's a long way from Tanah Jambu.

Before we could head off on our run we spent an exiting couple of minutes with hashers looking here,
there and everywhere for the on-paper as we couldn't find it anywhere.

Then all of a sudden we see Glamour and think "aha that's where we should be looking"
but Glamour was on the blue Hetro paper....... In the end Cheryl phoned Possum and we were finally off and on our way, slightly later than the normal 1715.

We ran and ran and ran and it seemed forever before first check, but we found the on pretty quickly
and continue on. The jungle trails were as good as they always are in this area and mixing it up with the fire trails there was no stopping the front runners.

All the checks were found with no drama but the trails just seemed to go on and on,
and i was feeling a bit woozy.

All of a sudden we reach the mark of the two runs splitting and so we commit to continue running another for another 3.7 km..............really??? Hmmm, half way down the hill Speedy Gonzales and myself have a re-think and decide to turn back to Possums waiting bus with refreshments.
Good decision!!!!!! And so thought most of the hens bar a fair few brave ladies who soldiered on and ran back to the tent - well done!!!

We were greeted with Sue's Special Punch which always tastes SO GOOD!
(And you can make it yourself  as it's in the "Hash Nosh" 2012.)

It was nice to see Bunny Girl, Legally Blonde and Annabel back and we also welcomed two new guests; Lara from Canada and Rhiannon from Scotland. Hash Whit entertained us on her normal excellent form and will sadly be missed when she leaves this summer. Mother Nurture is also leaving us shortly and pleaded for someone to please take over her "light duties".

IKEA was enjoying herself in Bali so I kept it short and sweet so that we all could enjoy Sue's and Possums lovely Chili with corn on the cob and salad on the side - Yummy!!!!
Thank you ladies!

Next weeks run is a run that everyone can do.
It's not short, it's not long it's just an average run in the Orchard!
Enjoy!!

FRONT HORN: RYVITA

BACK HORN: HASH WIT

As I was leaving from Mata Mata it was raining and the sound of distant thunder didn’t bode well for a dry hash. But of course that means nothing in Brunei – localised rain can mean you drive from perfectly dry, through a patch of 200 metres where it is absolutely hosing down, to instant dry again. It was actually a lovely dry evening in Sungai Hancing. By the time I had walked to the tent to sign in, I had heard the words ‘lollipop’ and ‘long’ several times and this was soon backed up with a notice attached to the sign in board saying ‘1 ¾ hours for middle walkers, make sure you take a torch’. Not a good start for me, after a few days of stomach cramps and not eating much – I was just psyched up enough to push myself around a normal run for the sake of the words, but a long run – forget it! The ever faithful Trailblazer overheard me saying so and kindly offered to fill in the middle bits for me. A leisurely amble with Alison sounded much better.

We set off through some new housing and soon went past the more familiar Simpang where Cheryl and Magic Roundabout used to live. The paper led us into the jungle and up a decent sized hill (for someone with not a lot of energy to spare anyway). The trail headed right at the top of the hill and after a short way, the sounds of ‘checking from here’ could be heard. We reached the y of the lollipop, with the ‘in’ sign pointing left and down into the valley, and so to first check. We chose to walk up the ‘out’ trail for a bit and then turned around, taking in the sights of some new and very white Mediterranean style houses along the way. We were greeted with a lovely rainbow as we arrived back at the on-on site.

The trail through the jungle was very pleasant and the usual Lucky Garden atmosphere. Some of the new ones were tricked into thinking they were out when we popped on to the fence line of the National Security Centre along Salambigar Link. It was not to be, we were soon back in the jungle, but before long on to the lolly pop.

All the hens were safely out just on dark and the shout up began, minus JM Ryvita, who was needed elsewhere. The newly crowned Wonder Woman took the hares away. Two first time guests, Julie from NZ and Tuti from Indonesia were welcomed. Two new members, Cath and Rave were also welcomed into our hash family. Dr Zur looked very pleased with herself as she celebrated her 50^th run and remembered her challenging introductory run at Kota Batu.

Dizzy offered to be ice queen next week, Sticky Rice gave some notices and Alice in Wonderland still wants more pencils for her Cambodia trip. JM Ikea invited us all to join her new and secure hash facebook and admitted to being a numbers geek as she reeled off all sorts of statistics for our first half year. Hash wit gave us a quick bit of wit about her good driving and Karlene owned up to needing a refreshing bit of cold water thrown on her by Dizzy, because she failed to sign out. Delicious Afghani food was enjoyed by all – spicy but lovely – thank you hares and Smurf who celebrated her birthday which was the day before.

Next week’s run is in Possum’s words, ‘not a Possum run.’ There will be a medium and a long run. The medium run took us 45 minutes walking at walky talky pace through a nice jungle trail with another 20 minutes of open track to finish. The long run adds on approximately another 3.7 km of easy to run on, open track, which front runners should enjoy, but is only meant for those who can run out.

HARES: Hash Hound/Mother Nurture

Greetings fellow Hashettes.  Last Tuesday saw us follow the signs off the coast road and down onto the sands of Tungku Beach for our Glow in the Dark Mid Year Hash. After a slight hiccup when we had to drive over to the starting spot on the eastern side of the beach,  due to the tent having been erected in the wrong place I believe, enthusiastic Hens milled around eagerly awaiting the signal to flap their wings.  Sure enough, 5.15pm saw the departure of the flock off along the scenic beach hash trail.  With ladies moving at their desired speed, and many stopping

Glorious sunset

Hares Hashhound & Mother Nurture

Receipients of hash handles........

to snap pics of idyllic scenery and action poses, we wended our ways hither and thither until we reached the midway point.  To our delight, we were greeted by a friendly sea nymph who offered us a free cool beverage which of course being polite, we could hardly refuse.  So joy of joys a hash that provided a beautiful walk or longer run, a spectacular sunset, fine weather, an unusual lack of hills and a drink to keep us going.

On our return the tent was abustle with Hens clucking over the range of scrumdidlyumptious food that was making the tables groan as well as our lovely new t-shirt (many thanks to our Hares) with its slogan on the back proclaiming that we ‘don’t sweat, we sparkle’ – never a truer word was spoken. So although we were licking our lips and hushing our tummies due to the aromas wafting from the table, we quietened down to enjoy the shoutup.  We had if I recall correctly a first time guest and a new member welcomed but the highlight of the night was surely the bestowing of names upon four illustrious Hens. Those added to the illustrious roll of Named Hashers were Wonder Woman (Nicki TC), Twinkletoes (Erin), Mother Nurture (Clare) and Mighty Maple (Kim). After this excitement and once the rest of the formalities were concluded (wasn’t there a hashittable sinner in there somewhere?) - Ika for not educating her guest on ethics of hashing - Ed, all lined up to choose from the tempting array of food. So there we sat in the dark as the evening wore on, everyone a-glowing, a-sparkling and a-glittering (including some strategically placed circles on various parts of the anatomy) feeling full and content, enjoying the bonds of friendship once again until with heavy sighs we packed our chairs and bumped slowly up the track towards our homes.

Oh oh oh what a trail.... ( to the tune of oh oh oh what a night)

By golly gosh and jeepers what an enjoyable romp thriugh the jungle we had. (I thought I was gonna die of hyperthermia throughout it but nothing new there).

Just off Jalan Subok the hares took us in and up on a slip sloppery slidey trail up and up and up till we met with a spectacular path. Dry, leafy, wide and clearly present I soon recognised this track as the one leading to Salambigar water hole. "Ah ha" says me, knowledgably, (although not so knowledgable when it comes to spelling as a little squiggly line has come up there and I havn't got a better option) "an A to B" 'tmust surely be yipee yipee" Yipee because last time the little line on my gps sports tracker thingy went straight for that long it finally turned round and we had to go all the way back again, another GI Jane special tramp.xx

Anyway, Hilary got a sore foot, poor HiIls :(, someone found the check(s) Trailblazer was a sweeper, Ryvita and??? were horny and we all toodled back on a bas sewa kas to the start. Back at the 80 years young, Glamour's slick crib where we noshed on top makan, sang hippy barpday, tittered at some comedy and had a lovely pressie each off Glamour, thank you very much Glamour. It lashed it down and we all had to swim home. The End.

Subok 527 they said. Well we all knew what that meant. There would be an up. A big up. Hash words arrived by email the day before and. it was with trepidation that we read, "Bring a torch". This was followed with, "Bring a chair and "Bring an umbrella". Who knew what to expect.

Two runs were provided. Blue paper and white paper. What did they have in common you ask? The same steep ascent at the beginning. It sounds so innocuous put that way. A more accurate description however might be, and here I quote a hasher who completed the course, vertical roller coaster.

White paper swung down behind the pondok leading to a steep, scrabbly, slippery and trippy trail into the remote and little explored waterways behind the Markucing Bukit. There were three checks, two of which were found by Ikea, showing her leadership prowess as JM. Speedy Gonzalez, not to be outdone, found third check on the steep winding path going up to the water tank ridge,

Turning right off the main ridge into a parallel path which met the bracken trail, we headed back to the Markucing track. On-on-up-down and out.

All present were given a lovely shoe holder by the week's major milestone makers: Domestic Godess, Mrs Pingu, Ryvita and Satu Lagi.

Then it was on to the shout up. Thanks were given to the hares: Satu Lagi, Mrs Pingu, Ryvita and Domestic Goddess. Trailblazer was back horn and Dizzy front horn. Melanie from Canada with the military husband was the only guest. Hash ranks were increased with a new member and Black Beauty was welcomed as a returner.

A spectacular number of awards were distributed. Hashers involved had celebrated a total of 1600 runs shared amongst Jenny from the Block, Domestic Goddess,Mrs Pingu, Ryvita, Satu Lagi and Speedy Gonzalez.

An eclectic collection of announcements. Alice in Wonderland asked for donations of pencils erasers and sharpeners for Cambodia. Pyscho provided a rabbit update letting us know that all are fine. Finally a plea was put out for recipes to go in the words.

Then it was time for perhaps the most important notice of them all.

Hash rules before the run:

• Park responsibly.
• Introduce guests and sign them in.
• Listen for special instructions before the run.
• Follow correct paper.
• Take torch and water.
• If you arrive more than 5 mins late turn, back at first check unless you have caught up with the others.

Then we moved on to the light relief. Hash Wit produced her devastating one liners on a range of subjects from work to parachutes, boyfriends etc. no wonder she is such a hot favorite.

Again there was no successful call for the hashit and so we quickly moved on to devour the delicious laksa. Thanks hares.

Thank you to the hares, Zur and Never Wrong, for the lovely run and also for the lovely dinner that followed the on-on.

The on-on came with its usual information and entertainment and also a reminder of some of the guidelines, rules and regulations that we should all know and all be following. During the on-on two first time guets, Rave and Melanie, were introduced. Both were brought along by Moana, who was also welcomed as a new member.

It was a clear night when a good number of hens and former members gathered at Speedy Gonzales house for Road Runners Memorial run.

After a tricky passage over a drain and across some log crossings which tested our balancing skills we proceeded a climb into the jungle.

We soon entered what is left of the 370 jungle and continued along the once familiar trails which were once Lee's favourite running trails.

It was a very enjoyable run with some good scenery.

At the shout up we heard a poem sent from Madmargz and paid respect to Lee with one minutes silence

 

There were  two  first time guests Karen and Kylie both recently arrived in Brunei and teaching here.We hope to see them back

There were no calls for the hashit even though Dizzy has returned.

It was good to get the crowds back together after staggered CFBT and ISB/JIS holidays have meant that many of us had been away and feeling a bit out of condition.  Good old Diplo, never lets you down – you can always guarantee a hill or two and getting your feet wet.  Well done to Madam Sin for laying the run with her broken ribs and Hot Lips with flu – Words mentioned an hour’s run…hour for who were the questions murmered at the start of the run..so all went in, in anticipation.

Good trails leading us up and down, in and around, through the familiar jungle area of Diplo.  Some clever checks laid, but not too clever for the likes of Hannah and Speedy Gonzales.  We knew we were near the out trail, once we passed the small concrete post in the floor and front runners were out in half an hour with nearly everyone out by 6 o’clock – all that is except for Rachel and her guest.

Where had they gone? Still on paper but not our paper, they soon realized and turned around in time for the shout up around 7. Reachable by phone meant than no one needed to go and after them. Phew.  Wendy’s turn to get wet this week…a reward for bring new guests…a bucket of water thrown..although not with a particularly good aim.  Remember hashers..IF YOU ARE BRINGING A GUEST YOU MUST INTRODUCE THEM TO THE JM OR GM. Thank you ladies for the finger food afterwards and thanks Dad for the supply of British jokes to keep the hens entertained week by week.

This weeks run..is laid by some of the front runners in memory of one of our dear front runners – Road Runner (Lee Jefford). A not so long run is promised with Jln Maura being chosen because this area was one of Road Runners old jogging grounds.  If you know of any ex ladies hashers who would like to join the run this week, please invite them.

We set off well as the evening was so lovely and as usual with Lucky Gardens we werent disappointed.

All was good until at one point the paper seemed to disappear but being the tru hashers we are we stuck together.  We all searched back and forth and after a while our great front runners came back saying they had found the paper again. Phew! we regrouped. After that it was a treat with lovely trails that suited both the runners andwalkie talkiers.

The rest of the trail and run went like a dream and I think we all enjoyed it. Well I did!

The onon was kindly hosted at Erin's and we gathered again revived ourselves with good company and liquid refreshments. The shout up commenced. Our stand in JM's adorned with very interesting Easter bonnets. We had 2 new guests but alas!, the newbie's weren't briefed properly on our down down etiquette and all went wrong. Who was responsible we asked? Poor Hashwit! So, poor hashwit got the hashit! She took it well and Rachel was relieved to hand over the chuk and bucket.

We wish Bini Hutan a happy birthday as she is soon to be away and the German ladies finished the evening by providing some lovely food. Thank you ladies.

All in all a great hash. Who could ask for more?

HARES: POSSUM/NEVER WRONG

Word from Possum went around that the Army was on site when they laid the run in the morning. Also the tent people erected the tent in the wrong spot, but the Army was nice enough to help moving it and this all happened before the run even started. Lucky for us they left the area before we arrived.

As I arrived late from work, I received this report of the run from my co-hare Bini Hutan:

We started the run going through the wooded area near the beach, nice trails with white flowers growing on the side of the trail until we nearly reached the Empire Hotel. Then it went along the beach, climbing the stony wave breakers where we had to be careful not to slip. Along the way we even found a dead turtle. On the way back we saw a family at the beach trying their luck with fishing.

All in all it was a nice and flat run.

We enjoyed a really great sunset on the beach. Due to the school holidays it was only a small group of hens around.

The shout-up started with the usual down-down for the hares, Possum and Never Wrong.

We had one 1st time guest, Veronika from the Czech Republic, who is here until November and hopefully will join us again next week.

Great News, Pee Wee got married last week. Congratulations to you!!!

As this was the Easter Run, the hares gave out Raffle Tickets and the lucky winner gotten themselves some Easter goodies; chocolate Easter eggs were distributed to all the hens, too.

Hash wit gave away her best Easter jokes.

We had quite a few nominees for the Hashit, one of them being me. After much contemplation it was agreed for Rachel to keep it for another week.

Then it was Makan time!!! Delicious Chili Con Carne a la Possum was served with Baguette bread. Yummyyy! Thanks so much, Possum and Never Wrong!

It was a pleasant afternoon with no rain in sight and a gentle breeze.After a false start along the wrong paper we found the correct paper and discovered a few challenging climbs to begin with.The trail was quite long with a few water crossings but the water was clear and cool and there was not too much mud.Ikea found all checks. A very enjoyable run.

The hares gathered for the shout up all dressed in many shades of green to celebrate St Patricks Day. .

There were two first time guests.Urema from Macedonia and Moana from New Zealand.and both said they will be back.

Clover celebrated 150 runs and Sticky Rice celebrated 100 and treated us to some  Irish dancing.

It was a night for celebrations as there were March birthdays Ready Mix,Ursula and Wendy and also Psycho's wedding who's beautiful wedding album we were able to view.

We then played Irish bingo and some hens  given prizes for their tenuous links to the Emerald Isle.

Of course the hash entertainment had to be Irish jokes told well by Sticky Rice

Rachel  was given the hashit for not educating her first time guest in the proper drinking etiquette.

It was a fun and lively shout up even though quite a few were missing due to school holidays

The hares provided delicious soup and bread.

HARES: GI JANE/SID

Last week. Oh my goodness I can’t even remember last night. Well it was at Mentiri pipes, but there were no pipes! And no Checks! And no paper! Are you sure you are talking about H3, Sticky Rice, and not some random Supasave trip, I hear you say? To be sure to be sure I am sure. No pipes, no checks and no paper but a jolly good romp in the jungle…ooer… tee hee hee….

Three runs had been laid by our lovely hares but since I ain’t doing three runs in one night just to write these words I will tell you about the long one. On pretty blue ribbons and paint, or was it yellow or pink? It meandered from the highway up, up, up and through and round and down again in super non snakey non crocodile jungly loveliness until we were out. Is that ok?

Then we all toodled round to GI Jane’s pad (not Rachel’s as Rozi was having a doo lally day on the words) and chowed down on “spot on” Vietnamese rolls that we made ourselves, generation game style, after an excellent demonstration by the lovely Mrs Nga.

Everyone got out. No-one got the hashit and that’s it. Happy St. Patrick’s Day xxxxx Sticky Rice.
