The Great Tiger Hunt

Run-site: 2K Hotsprings Campsite at Ulu Yam Baharu
Travel Time: allow 60 – 80 minutes, depending on where you start from
Date: Sunday 3rd March, 2024
Hares: Brown family (Aenea and Bigfoot)
Co-Hares: Iskandar-Hill family (Max, Remy, etc.)
Registration: 1:20 onwards
Run Starts at: 2:00 pm

Exactly six months after the Browns first set a run here, we’re back again to enjoy the hot springs – and the jungle trails too, of course!
This is a commercial camp-site (with hot springs!!! did we mention the hot springs??), and we have negotiated a payment of RM10 per car, so please bring a little extra cash.

Check out the camp-site web-site for campsite attractions & facilities – including 3 hotspring-fed swimming pools!

If you have a tent (or know how to get to Decathlon) and would like to camp on the Saturday night, please contact the site owner directly on +60 19 338 4008.

PLEASE remember to register BEFORE the run, at our registration desk. Members just mark the registration sheet, and guests must fill in kids’ details (plus a phone number) on the guest sheet, and pay the guest fees of RM10 per kid.

EVERYONE (members and guests) must also sign out AFTER the run, so we know that nobody is lost.

After the run, there will be hotdogs and cold drinks, as usual, so it’s going to be a fun afternoon for the whole family – remember to bring some pocket money and a change of clothes.

Will there be tigers? I don’t know – you’ll have to ask the hares, and look very carefully when you’re out in the forest.

Directions:

You can take your preferred route towards Ulu Yam Baru (close to Batang Kali), which is approximately 35Km (about an hour) from KL or PJ, depending on your start location.

The route has a few turns through the Kampung so please use Waze or Google Maps – just type in ‘2K Hotspring campsite’ to either App, and it will take you directly to the campsite.

The last part is a good quality single track road, so normal clearance cars will have no problems.
There are 2K campsite signs when you’re close.

There is plenty of parking at the campsite but please be mindful of non-hash campers who may also be using the campsite.

These links should take you to the campsite:

Ramadan starts the following weekend (10th March), and our April run will be delayed to 21st April, as it’s our 500th run and we want all members to be able to celebrate it!

On On!

This will be our Chinese New Year run, so please wear something (or everything) red, and prepare for some CNY celebrations!

There will be a catered CNY meal, so we must all register in advance, using this form.

Run-site: Water Rafting Kuala Kubu Bahru (near KKB)
Travel Time: about 70-80 minutes
Date: Sunday 4th February, 2024
Hares: the Lai family
Co-Hares:
Pre-registration (for food): by midday on Friday 2nd February
On-site registration: 1:20 onwards
Run Starts at: 2:00 pm
Food and CNY celebration: after the run

This site is on the Selangor river, just below the KKB Dam – about 3km upstream from the Cherandong Waterfalls site that we’ve had a lot of fun at.

There will be a CNY meal after the run – please register in advance to sign up for the meal, so we have exact numbers for catering.
The menu includes fried chicken, sweet and sour fish, tofu and vegetables, served with rice, and costs RM30 per person (free for paid-up members). For guest (non-member) kids, the RM30 includes the meal and the run fee.

On arrival, PLEASE remember to sign in BEFORE the run, at our registration desk. Members just mark the registration sheet, and guests must fill in kids’ details (plus a phone number) on the guest sheet, and pay the guest fees of RM10 per kid.

EVERYONE (members and guests) must also sign out AFTER the run, so we know that nobody is lost or washed downstream to see the fireflies at Kuala Selangor.

If you have camping table/chairs, they could be useful.

The site is next to a river, of course! The flow can vary, depending on how much water they’re letting out of the dam, so please check it before your kids go for a paddle.

If you like white water rafting, you can try booking that for the morning, before the Junior Hash run. There are also a couple of other rafting operators on the same stretch of river. You can read a description of rafting the Selangor river here.

Directions

To reach this site, you need to drive through KKB town, on state highway 55, and keep straight towards the dam. Then watch out for a small left turn.

Both Waze and Google Maps know this location as “Water Rafting Kuala Kubu Bahru by PROJEK OUTDOOR”, and these links should take you straight to the run-site:

On On and Gong Xi Fa Cai !!!

Happy New Year!

We’re looking forward to a year of great hashing in 2024, and this beautiful Ulu Rening run-site (used once before, in December 2021) promises to be an excellent start. It has a large grassy area right next to the small Rening river, with direct access to plenty of forest trails.

Run-site: Dusun Ayah Heritage camp-site at Ulu Rening, in the Genting Valley and a few km past Batang Kali.
Travel Time: 70 to 80 minutes, depending on starting point
Date: Sunday 14th January, 2024
Hares: The Clark family
Registration: 1:20 onwards – registration may take longer than usual, so allow plenty of time
Run Starts at: 2:00 pm

This run-site is at a private camp-site, so please have RM5 ready to pay for parking.
You can also rent a tube for playing in the river, for RM10 – please make sure your kids know that you need to pay before borrowing them.

If you would like to camp there (RM60 per pitch per night), please contact the site directly – you can WhatsApp to Effa on 019 926 6461. You can see more details at fb.com/effaryanstore.

If you want to stay overnight but don’t fancy camping, there are other chalets, home-stays and eco-resorts in the Ulu Rening area . They vary from cheap & simple chalets to posh chalets (e.g. Huda’s Haven), to secluded mansions that sleep 10 and have private swimming pools.

Unlike last month’s party, there is no need to pre-register for our normal runs – members & guests can just turn up and sign in at our registration desk.
Members just mark the registration sheet, and guests must fill in kids’ details (plus a phone number) on the guest sheet, and pay the guest fees of RM10 per kid.

Members also need to renew their membership for 2024, by paying RM120 (increased from RM100 last year – our first rise in 10 years). If you prefer to pay by bank transfer (to CIMB account number 8007783962), please bring the payment confirmation or email it to onsec@kljhhh.org.

If you’re interested in joining (which brings multiple benefits), talk to a committee member.

EVERYONE (members and guests) must also sign out AFTER the run, so we know that nobody is lost. It’s very tempting to jump straight into the stream when you get back, and sit there for three hours, but please sign out first!

As usual, we will have hot-dogs after the run, and drinks for the young and the old, so don’t forget to bring some change.

Directions:
The run-site coordinates are approximately 3.4903,101.693637

When you arrive, please park considerately and pay the parking fee (RM5) to the camp-site reception before finding the Junior Hash registration desk.

Christmas Run and Party

This is our only run where you must pre-register – if you just turn up on the day (or if a long-lost cousin arrives unannounced), then we will try to be friendly and welcoming (as always), and will still take your fees :-), but it is quite possible that we will not be able to feed you.
It is also our only annual run where all adults attending (apart from Santa) must pay guest fees.

Member kids still need to register, and all others need to register and pay, in advance, using this form.

For fully-paid-up members (kids), the event is free (apart from drinks!).
Guests (non-members, including lapsed members who have not paid their 2023 subs by 30th November) are very welcome, as always.

For everyone, the cost includes the run, full Christmas meal and entertainment, and all registered kids get a freebie / goodie bag.

If you have problems registering, please email us.

Run-site: Hash Heritage site, TTDI / Bukit Kiara
– off Changkat Abang Haji Openg, drive in and park neatly
Travel Time: not very long
Date: Sunday 3rd December, 2023
Registration: 11am (much earlier than our normal runs!)
Run Starts at: 12:30 (earlier than usual!)
Hare: Santa
Co-Hares: Elves

In Waze or Google maps, search for “TTDI the Hash House” – it should take you to the entrance to the site, on Changkat Abang Haji Openg.

The ‘Hash Heritage House’ is almost complete now, and already has proper toilets with running water (a luxury for hashers!), electricity for the Christmas tree lights, and a nce tiled roof to keep us shaded and dry!

This is very different from a normal Junior Hash event, but it still includes a normal jungle run, as usual.

There will be a full Christmas lunch for everyone attending (adults and kids).
Drinks will be available for sale – that’s the only extra you need to bring cash for.

There will be games and entertainment (clown, etc.), and we hope that a special guest will fly in from the North Pole.

The committee and volunteers will try to make it a perfect day for everyone, but it’s up to everyone to decide how to enjoy it – usually the kids run around playing madly while half the parents sit back with a bottle of wine or just snoozing.

On On!

For fully-paid-up members, the event is free (apart from drinks!), and just RM 10 for each parent attending. This has been made possible by our very generous sponsors (including AGS and Victoria Crest), as well as from the money we make from hot-dogs and drinks during the year.

Guests (non-members, including lapsed members who have not paid their 2019-2020 subs by 30th November) are very welcome, as always, for RM 55 (adults) or RM 30 (kids), to include the run, full Christmas meal, entertainment and a goodie bag for kids.
