1 Hash House Harriets Penang P.O. Box 1153 GPO, Penang Malaysia GM: Justbeer VGM: Beauty Queen On Sex: Tiny Hash Cash: Mother Hen Members only Date: 13 June 2013 GM s Note: Newsletter 2157 Black German had promised us a new run-site and sure enough it was and the view was beautiful. We were expecting some guards at the bottom but none were seen, so we did our praying in the pre-run circle!! Lynn Khoo brought along her 3 children as it was the school holidays and Darvin came once more with Aunty Anjalai. The Hare told us there were two runs, a short one and a medium/long one but no checks. The On In was by the Chinese Temple just below us and off we all went. We were soon on the familiar path along the ridge where Beverly Hills and the watertank are. When we hit the dividing trails most of the slow runners opted for the shorter run but Akz Hole and I went for the longer one. We were overtaken at one point by Sai Seng who was not seen again until back at the run site. Money had told us that it was somewhat a virgin run linking to the access from Leader Garden but as we progressed we did find we had done this before but at a slightly higher level. Nevertheless it was tough going skirting around the hill and climbing over 3 lots of

2 WIDE logs that even Mike had trouble with. The 4 th one we got around by climbing slightly higher and bypassing it. I felt it got a little monotonous as we continued to skirt around the hill and having to pick ones way through all the vines etc. but finally we hit the main track up from Leader Garden and the going became easier. We practically retraced our outward skirting by running parallel along the trail until we were almost back (but at a higher level) to were the short and long run trails split in the first place. From here it was follow the trail up to the top of the hill, turn right and then ON Down using the normal Mount Pleasure On Down. By this time we needed torches and as we descended we caught sounds on the night breeze below us. We soon came upon our usual sweeper Silentman who was escorting Lynn Khoo and her youngest who kept asking her are we there yet? Leaving them, we met up with the other slow runners namely Cheng, Norjan, Beauty Queen and Lynn s other two children, who were quite surprised to see us catch up. Mike went to the front to take the lead and was soon heard moaning loudly. We all rushed to see what the problem was and found him sprawled and suspended in a hole/drop (it was hard to see in the dark) with nothing beneath him but ferns and seemingly no solid ground. After recovering a little he finally managed to crawl out and back up on to the path as the children were shouting to their approaching mum accident accident!! It took a little while for Mike to get back as he had twisted his ankle and was in quite some pain. By the time we reached the watertank, Beauty Queen was hailing the Hashers below to come and help him down from the rocks and with their help the rescue was complete. The nurses then sprang into action by putting ice packs on his ankle and giving him different advice on how to treat it. After a quick bite to eat and a change of clothes we had the circle. Thanks Kali it was a great run-site and run and with the good food it made for an excellent evening despite the excitement of Mike s crash landing! Circle: 1. The GM called out the children in recognition of their achievement in completing the run even in the dark. 2. Next up for the ice were the globe-trotting pair Big Willy and Hari Hari Mau. This was both a welcome back from their recent sojourn to Australia but also to present them with their 200 th run commemorative goblets. Well done to both of you. 3. Goodyear was invited to the Ice Throne by the GM as he had been busy relaying the latest news to everyone around him. The GM invited him to share with ALL present.

Eddy Punk had been close by the GM up to the trail split when he decided to take the short cut. However this was not a short cut as Eddy expected but a shorter RUN which he then had to complete. 6. A charge from the floor saw Take Care charge visiting GM Nick Lilo 7. The guests were then welcomed with Adrian, Nick and Ginger (visiting from Turkey) taking the honours. 8. Last but by no means least, the final icing for the evening was the Hare of the day, Black Kali. Thanks for a new runsite and interesting runs. The food was good and the evening ambiance was wonderful. So many thanks for a great night. Next week we are hosted by Shirly at Info Centre Youth Park. This is a change of run-site so please pass it on. See you all there. The Pictures:

In recognition of this and to support them it would be great if many of us could attend. Perhaps we could even hire a bus if there were enough of us.

See: Funnies A woman was staying at a hotel and she decided to go sunbathing on the hotel roof. When she laid down her bikini top fell off... she didn't care anyway because no one will see her. After a while she heard footsteps, it was the hotel manager... she hurried up and covered herself up and the hotel manager said. 'We don't mind if you sunbath up here, but we would appreciate it if you would keep your bikini top on!' And she said,' No one will see me anyway.' And the hotel manager said, 'I hate to break this to you... but you're lying on the dining room skylights.
