Run: 877 Hare: Karu Venue: Beranang Industrial Cohare: a non-hashing South Indian expat
It was announced last week that Beranang Industrail estate was the runsite for Karu's run. Karu even said "my usual runsite, traffic light turn right".Karu had put up a very clear HLH4 sign at the traffic lights and another one at the runsite.
Yet about 7 cars and the beerwagon went to the "they anounced our Committee's Run runsite". Though there were no HLH4 signs directing them there, they parked. Thinking it to be a small turnout, they started the run on hash trail papers they saw.
Meanwhile about 10 cars went further and saw the HLH4 sign for the right turn to the runsite. They too started the run.
The two groups met somewhere along the trail. The hashers from the incorrect runsite doing a somewhat reverse run ended at the correct runsite. But had to grudgingly go back to retrieve their cars not knowing that King Kong was arranging to bring the cars.
Lester ABC from correct runsite came out about 7.05pm. On On onsite with Karu's specialty of mutton and chicken to go spice up the chapati, thosai and spring hoppers.
No Hair has this to report;
"We drove to the run site to find it empty and thought that we were early and not many were coming for the run, furthermore there were no hash signs to the run site! So, there were only about 6 cars around and the 10 of us when we started the run on paper to the usual run in trail.
Just as we were about 5mins on the trail, the paper just stopped and we were looking for papers thinking that the hare didn’t know how to set the run! We finally ‘broke’ it and ran across an open field towards the rubber tree hills.
Mobile phone then rang and we were told that we were on the reverse! We were too far in to turn around and were joined by some ‘late comers’ to continue doing it reverse. The second ‘check’ we had was broken in a jiffy too and further run into the rubber tree hills to meet the front pack on the right trail.
Some confusion of directions was exchanged among some but we didn’t take much notice about it and followed paper. Passing the last pack, we kept running and soon came out to some village road that we ended running on a falsie that they didn’t pick the paper! Back tracking and followed the ‘turnbackers’ we hit the trail back towards the real run site.
From there some had done some car jockey duties while some of us ran all the way back towards the wrong run site to complete the run in reverse and pick up our cars, a little over 7pm.
I had a good reverse run while some had the good run, some just finished ‘A to B’ while some just had fun!"
Next Run: No 878 Date: 15/05/2010 Hare: Farah Venue: Bukit Hatamas Cheras
(More than half of our members and friends who regularly turn up for our runs will be at the Pan Indo 2010 at Lombok. They will, among others, be promoting our forth coming celebration Run 888. So smaller than usual turnout is expected to come and climb the Apek hill, be early)
