Run: 1030 Hare: Chong Chee Yong Venue: Taman Wawasan Puchong Cohares:
Arrived quite early at the runsite and enjoyed watching the arriving hashers struggling to find parking space, as the usual parking area was still occupied by cars of hikers who enjoy this nice area.
MiowMiow was seen blocking Bandit's car, when he tried to reverse into a parking lot, and took it for herself. Eiiiaaaah….sure icing later!
In–trail was close by, short distance into the bushes and up the hill, a steep climb without the chance of some warm-up. Front runners reached the trail at the top and a first check, while the back runners still crawling up the steep slope.
The check was broken to the left into the jungle, going downhill to a small stream. Crossing it, a bit further away a second check was broken by Pengsan, who was seen connecting back the trail with paper, but not calling ‘OnOn’ – for which he got iced later on.
After some running the trail led down again to a broader stream, which could be crossed by a fallen small tree, quite challenging to keep the balance. Up on the other side and again cruising through small path which allowed some pace.
Coming down to a wider trail the front-runners expected to be on the home trail already, but after a while a sharp turn to the right led them down to the waterfall. Instead of crossing the stream on the slippery rocks I decided to get my shoes wet and walked a few meters upstream to the other side…..so refreshing, tempted to lie down and get soaked in the cooling water.
A steep climb up on the other side, with some more climbing to come and………there was Bandit, honking his horn!
From that the runsite must be near, but it took another 15 minutes or so to finish.
A very good run with everything which makes a hash-run enjoyable, nicely set by the coheres. Unfortunately not up to Bandit’s standard, who wanted to show off by taking only the hill at the beginning and the end of the run and skip all the middle part on even terrain.
