Run: 972 Virgin Hare: Thomas Woo Venue: Damai Utama Kinrara Cohares: Tanki Air and the Puchong Gang
No one was willing to volunteer to write the scribe for this run, a run which will certainly go down in the annals as one of Hulu Langat's most talked about runs.
By 6pm, there was only a few members ready for the run. Well this run was being set by a virgin hare from among the Puchong group, so, as it was expected, nearly the whole Puchong group would have gone in as co-hares. Just before the On Call for the start, two co-hares came out from setting the run. Suck It said they went in at four and that the others were on their way out. He also said "Dua bukit sahaja" (two hills only). On hearing about only two hills, Munster quickly approached Eto asking if she had an extra torch.
It is difficult to describe the run or how many checks were laid or who broke the checks and so forth. For one thing, it was a wet trail, given the heavy rains the past two evenings, Then, the hares ran out of paper or so it seemed, as spacing was wide and at some places, the trail papers were observed to be torn though there were no checks. Then the trail appeared to follow another chapter's paper trail.
The first runner on paper (FROB), Dipstick, came out in good time, 2hrs 45mins.
While the front group was coming out, the hare together with Cowlin, went in the out-trail to help to bring the back pack out. They took along one bottle of water. They would have probably gone in, walking for an hour or so when they stopped on a hill and started to call out for the back pack (did some residents in the nearby housing mistake these shouts as calls for help?).
Meanwhile, the back pack consisting of Chickadee, Juicy and Suck It's brother in one group, Buaya, Khoo Kongsi and Bandit, (yes he went in) in another group and about half an hour behind, Cock Pain and XL, who went in for the run at 6.45pm. On meeting the back pack, Cowlin led the Chickadee group on the way out, Buaya's group followed on their own, struggling some twenty five minutes behind. The hare, Thomas waited for the last group, Cock Pain and XL.
When Buaya'a came out of the jungle and walking towards the runsite and the beer, Dipstick's jeep came up and greeted them and continued to go and pick up the last. Then the Puchong guys' jeep came up with some isotonic drinks.
As soon as Bandit reached the runsite at 11pm, he let out all the expletives he had in his vocabulary, shocking some of those who were waiting for all to come out. A short while later, one of the jeeps came back, bringing Cock Pain and a much relieved XL. But Cowlin, who was leading Chickadee's group, was still not out, though they were supposed to be ahead of Buaya's group.
While waiting for Cowlin and the last group, another drama began to unfold. The government rescue team comprising over twenty of them and the police arrived. Apparently, someone had called to inform them that a group of eight were lost in the jungle and needed help.
While JPS and Guitarman were explaining to them, Cowling and group reached home. Then began some series of 'lectures' by the rescue team and our explanations that we were not lost. The rescue team, being not satisfied, wanted the names and identity card numbers of those who had just come out, which were given. But still not satisfied, they then asked for the names of all members present, but Beerman protested saying "saya ta'ada lari ma".
Finaly, they relented with a last 'lecture' that this jungle was off-limits to the public and that we are not run in there again. Upon accepting their advice, we told them not to blame us if they see others, not our chapter, running there.
While, On On was on site, which was so much that members were asked to pack some home, there was no circle.
