Photo Report - Run #2084 - Danny Lim's run,

The drive to the run site was quite easy, the directions were very good, and signs had been put up from a good distance out. We were also helped out by reasonable weather, though it looked like it would possibly rain during the run. We all got changed into out running gear, but then realized that there may be a problem with the first section of the run. A local man said that we could not cross his land as he had cows there, and the last time Hashers had run near them, it had resulted in one dieing. After much discussion we continued with the run,
walking quietly past the cows, after we got to the top of the hill, the paper stopped, but some of the front runners continued, saying they knew the way.
We continued in the same direction, but after 25 minutes, there was still no sign of paper, about half of the runners turned round, and headed back to the last paper, then made their own run, returning to the run site at about 7.15 PM. The other runners continued, returning to the site at about 7.35 PM, by which time it was quite dark. Back at the run site there was a nice surprise waiting for us, fresh Grapes, Mellon and coconut, a fantastic treat.  After the usual refreshments, we drove, mainly in convoy to the ON ON, ( Wang Kee Resto). There again we
were treated to a superb delight of various dishes, all washed down with beers kindly supplied bythe hare. This all rounded off a satisfying evening of hashing.

Scribe Report ... Run #2083 Russell “Crusty Nuts” Jones

Although nobody bothers anymore with scribe reports on this hash chapter I thought I would take my turn and scribble a few lines of drivel for posteriority. The rain gods smiled on the hash today and the traffic was quite light so I made it to the run site just after 5pm. After changing I joined two other well-known “front runners”, Don Cheang and Peter Boudville, who had decided to start off about half an hour early while the sun was still shining.
The trail up to the first check was quite slow going as there wasn’t much paper to follow and we also had to avoid a large stampede of cows. After breaking the check we followed nice trails going steadily uphill to the second check. On the way up Peter looked at a track on the left and said, “I bet that’s where the paper goes”. However we carried on to the top and found the second check. There were 3 possible trails, but after checking each one we decided it had to be a back check and tried a couple more before finding paper just where Peter  predicted. I hadn’t taken that very seriously because it was actually well over 200m from the check. Anyway we  were on paper again having used up 15 minutes for the checking. We had been going for 1hr 15mins and were on a good straight track when the paper suddenly turned right. After a short while Don found the third check so we turned back to the main trail and went forward looking for the paper that never materialised. We kept going and quite soon found ourselves on a tarmac road that would obviously take us back to the run site. So the third check must have been a forward one, but after 1hr 30mins, over 7km and with fading light we decided to head straight home. Apparently, after breaking the third check the pack then had another long loop of about 3km plus two more checks to negotiate. They made it to the last check on top of a hill but it was dark and too difficult to break. So in the end nobody actually completed the 10km run and the pack h ad to find their own way home on the tarmac road. Frank and Mark appeared at the beer truck around 7:45pm and as I left the run site at 8pm there was a long line of torch lights bobbing up and down on the road as the main pack trudged back in. Fortunately, most runners today were well equipped with torches because, as everyone knows, it gets dark early these days! The three of us who started at 5:30pm really enjoyed the trail, which was good and very well laid with about half the paper stapled up on leaves at head height. However, with hindsight, the run was 2 to 3km plus two checks too long. If the home trail had come after the third check most of the pack would have been back in the fading daylight.
Attendance this week was back to the normal 40 plus after something like 85 hashers had turned up the week before. I don’t know what they were all hoping for last week on my run but I bet they didn’t expect to get screwed at the first check?
