Rehashed20101030 Deepavali

Run: 902 Occasion: Deepavali Run 2010 Venue: Emville Kg Sg Buah Hares: ...

We arrived with ample time to get prepared but due to chit-chats here and there I got to wear my shoes only at 6pm. Monster was running up and down to look for the paper while Blood Donor was on the other end doing the same thing. Finally, Monster got on to the trail on the tarmac for start.

It was about a kilometer on the road round to get back on track to the tunnels. The pack thought it would be a change from the last but the first check after the tunnels got the middle pack to search for a back check. True enough, Show Time called the pack and off we went towards the OP. Zig-zagging round the first hill and passed it the pack got on to the 2nd check near the highway.

Thinking of a forward, the few runners searched in vain while the middle pack broke it to be tricked into a falsie. Song Lau was quick and ran into the true trail. Kelam Kabut and Cock Pain whizzed pass and an uphill slowed them down, further a slippery down hill had them even slower.

Weird calls of the wild were heard – monkeys, ducks, chickens and birds! Through the bushes and a cross over some shaggy areas, the pack was treated to a slippery uphill. Kelam Kabut ran too fast to spot a sharp turn uphill had Show Time in front blocking them as he was ‘negotiating’ a slippery climb that took him ages to get on!

From the hill top, Rocky was seen walking on a different direction away from the paper and later the front pack knew what he was doing. A check was just by the clearcuts and a back check was called to get on back. A run downhill till a clearing for a scenic view of the run site and it was only to get on the home trail.

The FROP was reported to be back at 7pm, me Mrs told me she was back at 7:10pm while I was around 7:30pm! Cock Pain was heard to have said a good run while Guitarman said the same while alighting his car!

Pre dinner food was served with BBQ chicken and fish that were delights as the queue for seconds was long.

Rehashed 20101023 KingKong & Charlie

Run: 901 Hare: King Kong & Charlie Venue: Bandar Technology SubCons: No Hair, Yee Mai, Buldozer

Despite the rain in the late afternoon and the heavy drizzle during the run, a good number went in. But they certainly did not bargain for a heavy warm up after the 'sweet kiss'. Their shoes would have weighed at least 6 kilos, no thanks to the clearing.

No Hair puts the blame on one of our members for 'Buldozing' our running area.

The runners cursed a second time, well, the home trail was through the same shit. Again shoes carrying 6 kilos of mud back to runsite.

How was the run? The run was in Bandar Tech. How different could it be from the numerous time we had run here.

We got No Hair back in action - there were no celebration runs elsewhere - to give us what he could recall.

1. One of 2 hare was OnDown-ed ( Chickadee was on hand to hand out the freebies while King Kong was downing 2 bottles of whiskey in another dinner);
2. Chickadee was on ice for not wearing their hand outs.
3. Bulldozer was iced for the muddy trails as he was blamed to have bulldozed the running areas till flat.

4. Deepavali Run OC, Matahari, was OnDown-ed for the enthusiastic showed for the cuming run.
5. Guitarman was running towards the beer wagon after alighting from his car and commented "A good run!" in his slippers!
6. HLH4 would be losing some members for a few months - Elsie 'The Beautiful' Pusher will be to Dubai and Song Lau will be in C-bai.

7. Guitarman was blamed for leaving half bottle of beer unattended while Jo escaped.
8. Elsie Pusher was OnDowned again by OnCash for paying her subs till end of 2011!
9. Miow2 and Matahari was iced a little while as ABC took the ice alone - they were lack in marking in/out.

10. Dr Ballcracker came back to be iced after a dinner in a neatly ironed pair of slacks.
11. Ice Cooleng was iced for commenting about the rain and the hare - stingy?
12. No Hair was iced for asking the crowd to sit nearer for him to peep on cleavages.

13. Bruise Lee left his water carrier last week for the Whip to pick up after him.
14. Song Lau led the ladies to shortcut on trail and stated to the runners not on paper while he coincidently got on paper.
15. Ice Cooleng was iced again for greedily wanting more of the 888 Run stickers.

16. Cha Cha was absent minded and mistakenly stating wrong MantinH4's treasure hunt date and event.
17. Munster was iced as he got a whistled at by Bangla while bathing!
18. The birthday boys (on 22 Oct) were serenaded while another (actual date) was in Sarawak.

OnOn on site with Star Caterer's scrumptious makan.

Run: 900 Hare: Amelia Venue: Sri Kembangan SubCon: Munster

No run reports in yet.

OnSex still missing in action celebrating other chapters' celebrations.

Amelia could not go in with a bandaged knee.

Guat Ling who also made it up to view the Mulu Pinnacles could only manage half the run. Oh forgot, she came late but still went in.

Heard about a nice park up the hill. No one wants to describe it.

Heard two new boots. No one is telling.

Still waiting for run report to come in. Aiya, why so slow?

Long John, Lester ABC, Bulldozer, Kilat and Short Circuit had to be cooled down! No one is talking.

What did Chickadee announce on the box? No seems to have heard.

Why does Hash Flash send pictures without captions? Tak mau cakap lebih.

Where was the On On? Amelia could not tell.

Have to publish this now, before next weeks's report comes in.

Mulu Pinnacles

Myself and Guat Ling have achieved the challenge up to the Pinnacles. HLH4 bannner was proudly displayed at the summit. It was tough and very dangerous but very challenging.

Each and every one of our steps must be very firm and had to be very careful where we placed them, could not afford to fall. Climbing up 15 ladders during the last 300m, Crossing over the gap in between the mountains by just a slim iron bar.

It was raining the night before until 3 am, it was wet and slippery, we only spent 1/2 an hour at the summit because the mist came and it started to rain, it rained throughout our way down.

The distance was only 2.4 km and 1750 m high but it took us 4 hours to go up and 6 hours to come down.

Some pictures of our memorable challenge.

Regards
Amelia

Run20101009 Guitarman

Run: 899 Hare: Guitarman Venue: Sri Haneco Cohare: Kilat Thomas

About 30 hashers turned up for the run on a cloudy afternoon. OnOn was called at 6 pm sharp. The pack slowly went up towards the fishing ponds to the right, where immediately a first check was set.

It was a backcheck, broken by Kelam Kabut. The trail was laid at the “usual out-trail” at tarmac and later lead up to the right, a steady gentle slope at first. At some fork the trail went left and soon to the second check which also turned out to be a backcheck.

Broken quickly, the trail went further up the hill, a falsie to the right and followed by a steep climb uphill which pulled the pack apart. Charlie showed his gentle attitude extending his hand to pull some harriets up at difficult steep slopes. Even the Pusher was pulled this time.

Reaching almost the top and turning left, the 3rd check created some confusion. Winnie Jenny broke the forward check and moved on, like wise did the second front runner, neither waiting for the following pack nor connecting the trail. So the pack had to go checking again, not realizing the check was already broken.

Abraham and myself went checking far to the right until we finally heard OnOn and run back to the left. Now at the end of the pack, we ran into Kelam Kabut looking out for Winnie Jenny, not knowing that she had broken the check already.

Running further and later uphill at the top, the area opened up for a beautiful view down. The trial led down zigzagging the slope. After passing a small water pond Bandit came up, doing a reverse run. Him, being known for disliking hills, used the foul excuse of arriving slightly late to the runsite as a reason to walk up on the comfortable out-trail.

From there on it was an easy run all the way down trail back to the tarmac at the fishing ponds. First runner Kelam Kabut out at 7:10, last runners out about 7:30.

OnOn was on –site with Nasi Lemak, Chicken and spicy Sotong.

New boot Josephine or Joey as she prefers, was officially welcomed.

Rehashed20101002 Kwang

Run: 898 Virgin Hare: Kwang Venue: Mahkota Cheras Cohare: Silent Dragon

Though this would be the third time HLH4 was running here, for this scribe, it was the first. The Google map approximated 18 mins for the 15km journey. I thought, for once I could be early, so left just before half past five. Well I did not bargain for the very slow traffic on Jalan Cheras nor did I expect the jam at the Bandar Tun Hussein Onn interchange to be that bad.

Driving slow while looking out for non existent hash signs, I managed to arrive at about 6.15pm. Some hashers were still hanging around, but by the time I had put on my shoes, they were gone leaving just Farah to mind the cars and keys. The beer wagon had yet to come.

Both the last two runs here were set by Silent Dragon and the reviews were not favorable to me. This run too was to be set by him. But then Farah said "Don't worry, its ok here. I ran here the last time". So I gave her my keys and went in and while still on tarmac, met the hares coming out. Silent Dragon said "Easy run" followed by Kwang saying "For you, 45 mins". Does anyone ever believe the hare?

Getting off tarmac, I caught some hashers in the distance going under canopy, so I headed towards them, ignoring the trail that went left to the 1st check. Was with the back pack now, so far so good. Caught up with the middle pack at the 2nd check. A short 2 min climb through bamboo. That was easy.

Meandering through on flats, came across 'traffic warden' Charlie, guiding the runners to the correct trail before he scooted off backwards. The trial he directed hashers to turned out to be a flooded path. There was no escaping except by way of Charlie's method - turning back and I was tempted to, until I caught sight of KFC up in front, wallowing happily through the 'stream'.

The 3rd check break took us to the foothills. So now the dreaded part. But, surprisingly, it was a gentle slope which was inviting the hashers to come up. This should not be too bad, I thought. Midway through, the 20 degree gentleness grew to a somewhat 40 degree slope.

As I was struggling up, I heard someone calling me. I answered and the person asked, "You got water ahh?". With an affirmative answer, I prodded on up thinking, how nice HLH4 members were, being concerned for me, knowing that I did not like hills. The harriet down below called again and said "wait wait, I want water". Oh, she wants water, so I slowed my pace, allowing me to get some much needed rest.

A while later, KFC, came up. She accepted a swig from my bottle before continuing up. I waited for Heny Soo, who came up a few minutes later and gratefully downed a couple of gulps. Before Heny continued her climb, she said that Angel too did not have water. Angel did not look too good when she came up and accepted some water.

A short while later as we were slowly going up, I heard another call, "Bandit Bandit wait". I was sure, Lester ABC did want some water, anyway I slowed down. Soon three young guests came up and said "Oh itu orang pengsan". Certainly, that could not be our Pengsan down there. He would have competed the run by now. So I asked our guests who were below and they said "tiga orang, satu perumpuan".

Lester ABC was slowly pulling TnG while Suck It was restraining her from falling backwards. From then on it was a painfully slow climb in the darkness. ABC and Suck It took turns to piggyback TnG up some sections till the top.

It was also a slow walk down hill along the loose sandy path by the quarry site. Though we were on clear laterite roads, it was torturous to look for the paper trail, especially at the many junctions. The few more checks thrown in along the way home made it worse. It was difficult to look for white paper on these roads in the darkness.

Towards, the end, No Hair came in a pick-up with refreshments. He had to wait for the last few who made a wrong turn and ended down to a check that was not disconnected, all of whom had to cramp in the pick-up for the short ride to reach home just about nine.

Circle was kept a wee bit shorter as the On On was to be at a restaurant nearby. As soon the circle ended, it poured.

Wildman paid us a visit. Some first time guests refused to hold the TOO at the welcome and for this the other guest who brought them was iced for the inviting under aged.
