Run: 906 Hare: Long John Silver Venue: Broga Cohares: Kiki, Cowlin, Sunny
As the hashers arrived at the runsite, the sky opend up for a heavy downpour. Parking was on the roadside to give way for the trucks going to the chicken farm.Luckily the rain stopped just before OnOn was called. In trail led along the road for about 500m, then turned off to the left following a trail into the rubber plantation where the first check was laid.
Dipstick, NoHair and some hashers went checking in the rubber, but could not find the paper, no thanks to the heavy rain which either washed away the paper or rendered it not visible. Finally OnOn was called at the back going down a slope into a muddy area and again paper could not be found. After some more confusion, Chickadee and Silent Dragon were already planning to find their own way, when finally Kelam Kabut found the paper leading to the right.
The trail then took the runners into the bushes, across a small stream and went up the hill. A check here was quickly broken on the left and from there it was a more or less a steady climb (or should I say crawl) up until the grassy area and then right to the hilltop.
It was almost dark when the trail went up to the second and then the third hill where another check was waiting. Dipstick moved on to the 3rd hill but the check was broken somewhere on the second hill down to the left, into the bushes and soon hit an extremely slippery concrete trail which left many hashers skidding and falling on their way down.
It took some time to descend and get on to the flat trail to the parking area. First runner out in 2:05, last runner out about 20 minutes later was Dipstick, mumbling: “too dark to run…”.

(Webmaster's note: Knowing Bandit's 'fondness' for hills, we asked him to let us have his thoughts of the run and he sent the following. Some words, phrases had to be peeped)
Despite the heavy rain where visibility was reduced to just two cars ahead, managed to get to the runsite just as the last few were going in (some think I purposely come late to avoid a climb). Caught up with the back pack at the 1st check which was still not broken. Tried a back check and found torn paper leading down to the rentice where Kelam Kabut was calling the wayward harriets back to the correct trail.
As the girls came up, one of them asked me "can you sound the horn louder and longer?". Seeing my puzzled face, she continued "Billy No Hair, he did not come yet." (the picture on the right, the harriet calling out for her beau.)
As the papers took us under canopy, our 'environmentalist' friend, Kelam Kabut, stopped to admire something and then he called out if I had a camera. So I obliged and took the pix on the left for him. Yeah, that is not something one sees often.
Ok, about the run, the first hill okay, 2nd hill a crawl but 'boleh tahan', 3rd hill, #@$*%&#, 4th hill, grrrrr &*$*@#%$@#, 5th hill neeeah meh #@%&%, 6th hill, 7th hill, nak mampus. When you thought that would have been the end, the 'bukit botak' standing majestically beckoned in the twilight
The descend was equally torturous and slow but managed to reach base camp around 8.30pm.
((Webmaster's note: For Bandit, one climb was equivalent to 3 hills; one hilltop and two foothills.)
Next Run: No 907 Date: 04/12/2010Hare: JPS Jit Venue: JPJ Jalan Kajang-Dengkil
(From Kajang, go along Jalan Reko. Past Sg Tangkas. Past University Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM). Go straight, just after nuclear/atomic center which is at a sharp corner, turn right at the next junction. Go underpass the KL-Seremban Plus Highway and travel about a km and look for HLH4 signs on your right.)
