Run starts at 4:00pm
Run site: Tg Sepat @ Baywatch Restaurant: No. 72 Jln 3, Tepi Laut, 03-31973843
About 100 GH5 members, guest and their family congregated in this quiet coastal town of Tg Sepat for GM Vpower's birthday run, despite Tg Sepat being about 80 km and 90km from Klang and Petaling Jaya respectively. Run site was at the Baywatch restaurant .... but minus the bikini girls we saw on TV.
It was an exceptionally bright and sunny afternoon here although we learned later that KL was experiencing flash flood at that time. Hmm, didn't I told you guys it's worthwhile to pay the Bomoh? GM did!
At 4:00pm sharp, Wild Boar sounded the horn to signal the commencement of the run. For those who have not been here, there are no hills in and around Tg Sepat. The land is flat with vast areas of Oil Palm estates at the opposite side of the main road.
The trail took us through kampung roads, passing by temples, shops, houses and some huge bungalows. It then continued across the main road (Jalan Morib) leading us into the oil palm plantation. Inside, we ran on estate paths which meandered through Orang Asli houses. Front runners were caught at the 2 checks laid by the Sepang hashers who had helped to set the run. The checks were tricky, being back-checks. Crossing back the main road, we passed by the famous "Pau" shop which was packed with customers.
Front runners came back in 54 mins for this 6km run while some slower runners got back pretty late as they took their time to buy "Pau", fruits and drinks along the way!! How to lose weight in hashing, haa?!
We had earlier posted a video to tell our hashers that we had recce the run. It was meant to be a joke but some hashers were looking forward to try out this exciting trail. This video, taken from youtube, showed a very scary but interesting trail somewhere in South America. If you wish to enjoy this video, click here .....
Story to be continued .... and I need some photos .....
