Run Site
We just had a run here in Sept (Jungle Man). This hill forms part of the Ayer Hitam forest reserve which is currently managed by University Putra Malaysia. The peak is merely about 200 metres above sea level. (Car park is already 60 metres) but the slopes are pretty steep.
The Run by Hong Kee
At 6pm sharp, GM V-power led some 50 hashers and guests into the forest. The in-trail was different from Jungle Man's run in Sept. Lallangs covered the first part of the trail until we reached the jungle fringes. From here we started the 1st climb, up steep slopes, snaking our way between small trees. Everyone worked tirelessly to reach the top, but @$#% .... we found out that it was a falsie. Everyone blamed Phang Joe!!
We reversed, turned left and headed down towards a small valley. Then it was uphill for the next 10 minutes ... a bit of flat land and again uphill. A few lady runners had to pause for short breaks and Mr World was at hand to supply "minyak cap kapak". He always carry a small bottle along just in case he himself may need it.
The trail continued along natural footpath ... much easier to trek this time. Downhill we went until we reached a small stream ... and obviously when we crossed to the other side, it was again uphill.
Then all of a sudden when we approached a small lake, we saw MK Lim talking to some uniformed personnel. MK asked if there were still back runners. Apparently, the forest rangers had came in a 4x4 vehicle and motorbikes to halt our entry into their restricted area of this forest reserve. We were not aware of such restrictions of course! What the @#%$^!
Anyway, they allowed us to continue on condition we use the 4x4 track to get out of this area. We then proceeded as instructed ... straight onwards and subsequently turned right at the T-junction. For 15 minutes we trekked and all this while the sky was getting darker and darker. Torch lights had to be used. Halfway, the front runners, Ah Heng, Ben, Big mouth and gang were seen coming from the opposite direction. We were told that the end of this track leads to Saujana Puchong.
Everyone then turned back and with animal instinct, the front runners found a trail back into the jungle. By then it was already past 7:30pm. There were no papers on the 1st part of this new-found trail as the Rangers had picked them up earlier. Some 200 metres uphill, the front runners found our GH5 papers again and shouts of On! On! could be heard.
It was uphill, downhill, uphill and finally down a gradual slope back to run site. Front runners came in at 8:10pm. By 8:40pm all runners were back, or was it?? It was pointed out that Ah Yong, Peter, Iron Lady, Baby Crocodile, Silent Gorilla, were nowhere to be seen.
Then at 8:45pm, a small lorry drove in to run site and standing at the back cargo area were our GH5 "tai kors". They did not follow the front runners back into the jungle thinking that since there were no papers, this could be a wrong path! These "tai kors" went back to the 4x4 track and ended up on the main road of Saujana Puchong. There they took a bus, paying RM1 each, to Tesco Puchong. At Tesco, they flagged down a small lorry driven by an Indian man, paid him RM10 and the driver took them back to run site. And the real "tai Kor" was actually Peter, for he was the only person with money!
Circle by Ivan
Circle was called to order at 9pm. GM V-power announced the next 3 runs.
Stumpy was iced as his guests did not pay guest fees. Poker face was given recognition when he correctly told the circle the next 3 run sites and the respective hares.
Hi-Lo reminded everyone to bring their own cutlery as we are an eco-hash club.
Ah Choy Kor was iced for talking on his mobile after he felled on the rocky area.
The circle ended at 9:40 pm for On On dinner at the Hee Lai Ton restaurant. We thank the Hare for his generosity ... free T-shirt, free beers and free dinner!!
See you guys next week in Serdang, Rose Chan's run. On! On!
