RLC Harriers Run #877 August 4 2015 Run Site : Lake Garden & its vicinity Hares : Thomas & Serena Tan Weather : Fine weather As we waited for the clock to reach 6.00pm, people were still talking about the last two runs, the Quadrangular in Klang and the Bukit Lagong "feed the leeches" run, so beloved of Tommy Chin and the durians that he brought. At the appointed time, we set off to the left while for some obscure reasons, Extra Virgin was seen turning to the right. Up we went to Monument Hill by a circuitous route and then made our way to see the Sultan of Selangor. However, His Majesty had been called away on important state duties and our tea had to be postponed to another day. As we climbed down to yet another piece of jungle, we reflected sadly that we are running in pieces of greenery that is fast disappearing daily. We meandered here and there like the TV programme, "Dunia Di-Sana Sini" and then came the long stretch home. As usual, the sly Quiksilver Fox was FROP slightly over the hour while the rest came trickling in. At the Circle, there were a lot of finger food and GM Woon was officially christened Buta-Buta amidst other wild and frivolous charges against all and sundry. The concept of Open Run was further discussed whereby 6 hashers will be involved each time, 2 to recce and lay the trail, 2 to provide tidbits and 2 to provide extra drinks like wine and whisky. Food will be served to people who must positively opt for it in writing before the run and the cost per table shared among the people on that table. The first of such runs will be on the last Tuesday of October and thereafter, the last Tuesday of every month. With this innovation, every RLC Harrier will only be burdened with one hare duty per calendar year. We made our way to Bunga Raya where a feast awaited us. As always, a good time was had by all. See you at next week's run, somewhere near Zoo Negara.
