RUN SITE

Our club has not been here for more than 2 years since the last run organised by Hi-Lo. The road leading into this run site is now a dual-carriage way though Broga town itself is still a sleepy hollow except week-ends and the chinese temple festivals. The hills are enchanting, surrounding Broga town and air here can be as fresh as you could imagine.

The RUN

The hare took us to the southern part of Broga hill. The footpath here is well laid and the ascend in certain part can be quite steep. All in we tracked 3 hills. In between, there were deep valleys to descend, forcing runners to hold tightly onto rocks and small trees. At one part, the hill was quite barren due to clearing by the rubber tappers. 

There were 4 checks which were cleverly set. The 1st and 2nd were easily tackled by the FRB (front running bastards!). The 3rd check had some FRBs running the wrong way and this helped to close the gap between the fast and slower runners. The highest point, which is at the back of the chinese temple is about 260 meters above sea level. In comparison, the Northern Broga hill could rise to more than 400 meters above sea level.

As Broga is so far away from civilisation, the hare set a short run this time to have an early dinner. Front runners came in within the hour. Sweeper King Trucker and finally Stumpy and his pretty companion arrived at run site at 7.30pm.

CIRCLE

Circle was called to order by GM V-power at 8:30pm. The next 3 runs were announced. TanSri also briefed members and guests on the CNY run which is scheduled on 22nd Jan @ Genting Highlands. Details will be posted on this blog later. Last count, we have 180 pax for this run with Carlsberg sponsoring our T-shirts.

Sir Pository sadly informed members on the passing of "Phua Chu Kang" a young 33 year old Hazard hasher in a tragic accident a few days ago. There was a minute's silence as a mark of respect.

Doug conducted the run rating ... he must have been impressed as he gave 9.5 points ... but someone told me he did not complete the run!?

Rose Chan was the mystery whip this time and had a few guys on the ice. View photos to see the lucky ones!!

On! On! Dinner

Dinner was sponsored by the Hare, Poker-Face Yong, at the Restaurant Fa Xiang in Broga town. Nice food, plenty of beers and good fellowship rules .... Enjoy the photos HERE!
