Run: 1027 Hare: Joachim Venue: Bukit Hatamas Cheras Cohares:
Knowing that there were a few of our members who will usually skip, shortcut, turn back or do a DIY at the hilly trails around here, the hare needed to strategize, not only to make everyone go in but to also get them to complete the run. Announcing that it will be a short run or that there will only be one or two climbs does not work. So he got Bandit as bait and even got Bandit to park his car, with hash papers and all, right in front of the runsite, so that no one could miss it, and kept his car in background. Everyone coming in will get the impression that Bandit, who abhors hills, was setting the run.
It worked, nearly everyone, with exception of Eto and Bruise Lee, went it. Even KFC fell for the bait and went in but JPS was not fooled, he did his usual DIY.
The papers started in the usual in-trail but kept right and down into the jungle keeping just along the fringe. When it hit the joggers/hikers' path, the trail led along on the path up to a point where the papers went back into the jungle on the right. After a couple of checks along the way, the papers went on the hikers' track for the steep climb to level 3.
The check at level 3 seemed a slight problem as from there the papers followed the same trial as that of the Baby hash and MKH4. Coming down a tricky, slippery and sometimes difficult descent, a check was laid on the trail to the left, broken on the right, the papers led up to hashers' main in / out trail.
The hare must have expected Long John to turn up for the run, so instead of hitting the out-trail, he pulled the front runners across for another climb that ended with an even more difficult descent.
Dipstick and CockPain were out neck to neck in one hour 20 minutes. A quick call to 'sweeper' Charlie Cheekadee got him to turn back and come out through the other hash chapter's laid papers. By 8.30pm, all were out.
On On onsite - CockPain arranged stuff.
