Run Site 
We have already ran here a few times this year, and each time we could notice the progress in housing developments in this area. Today, some of the shophouses have already been occupied and the road had been tarred up to the jungle fringes. Let's hope the forested area remains forested as this is, perhaps, the last green-lung in Puchong. 

The Run 

 At 6.00pm sharp, GM V-power signaled to enter the jungle. With the usual front runners already being the co-hares, MK Lim and Yong became the flag-bearers. The familiar in-trail took us across a muddy stretch with overgrown lallangs and thereafter up a small hill. The climb was about 10 minutes, gentle in certain part and cutting deeper into the jungle as the hashers reached the peak. 

The paper trail then took us left down-hill till we came to a small stream. Many members took a U-turn here, fearing that the co-hares, being very strong runners, would probably set a long run.

As expected, the co-hares took us uphill again. The gradient here was steeper and the slope slippery, not surprising after a downpour this afternoon.

We had to endure 2 more hills, although not too tough, before passing some torn down sheds. Following the paper trail, we turned left again and eventually joined the earlier in-trail to take us out of the jungle. 

1st runner came in at 7:15pm and sweeper King Trucker came home at 7:45pm. Overall it was fun and not too punishing for our members. Great job, Ben, Ah Heng and Tony!! On! On! And all this while the Hare, Stumpy, was busy at the car park frying Koay Teows for our brothers and sisters ...

The Circle
Circle started at 8:30pm with GM V-power on the box. Our virgin guest brought along by King Trucker was introduced to the members. The next 2 runs were announced. A few "sinful" members and guests were subsequently put on ice!

Yee Mei was then officially given a hash name, and guess what ... Lady's Finger... this being in recognition of her culinary skills. You guys can expect more food in the near future, ya....

As a reminder of the importance of the English Language, the hare, Stumpy, was asked to explain in English how he "Chay Koay Teow". And to add spice to this, Silent Gorilla was asked to be his English teacher. Click on video to appreciate the standard of their English ....

Dr Load was then given some airtime and the Circle ended a bit early for dinner at a restaurant.

Dinner

On On dinner was at the Hee Lai Ton restaurant, thanks to the Hare, Stumpy. Members and guests feasted and karaoked together until 11pm. Thank you and see you next week!! On! On!
