Rehashed 20070331

Hare: Farah Venue: Venice Hill
About 20 members managed to reach the runsite near the Venice Hill Condominium despite the lack of hash directional signs leading to it. Just before 6.00pm, the sky opened up to let loose another downpour in the Klang Valley. Members took shelter at the walkways of the unoccupied shoplots.

GM called ON ON 3 dots past six and 15 members trotted out in the rain looking for washed away trail paper. Finding some, they managed to get to the foothills at Wangsa Cheras. The many hikers taking shelter there would probably have thought that we were a crazy bunch to go up this hill in this rain at this hour.

From the base, it was just a climb up and up in the rain, stopping only to look for trail paper at forks and junctions of this well trod hiking trail, till a height of about 370 metres. From there the back pack were pleased that the not-washed away papers took them down hill. But it was not smooth going as they had to frequently stop and search for the trail paper.

Reaching the valley they would have thought they would be out of the jungle within minutes. But how mistaken they were, for the 'found' papers took them up again for another climb in the dark. Reaching up to the home trail found GM waiting for them. On the home trail the back pack could hear someone who kept shouting ON ON ON ON ON further down. Thinking it was the call of the rescuers, they shouted back that they were on track and on paper. Coming down to the stream, the 'rescuer' turned out to be Ballcracker, who could not find the paper trail out and was, correctly, waiting for the back pack.

At a quarter to nine and much to their relief, they were out of the jungle for another long road walk back to the runsite, or so they thought. But with three key office bearers, GM, On Sex (acting) and Hash Cash not out yet, a pickup came and gave the last 8 tired and wet hashers a ride home.

American Sam, Gary and Kok Pain were out jointly at 8.00pm, while Kiki was the sole middle runner who reached home 20 mins later.
