Selamat Hari Raya !!!

In May, we are running on the second Sunday, after the public holidays and Hari Raya Aidilfitri. It’s a normal run, but if you’re still celebrating Hari Raya then we wouldn’t say no to some cookies or even duit raya 😉

We are staying in town, as traffic could be terrible on the highways, but it’s still proper jungle – the only thing missing is a stream to swim in. The run-site is the ‘Hash Heritage’ site, where we had our Christmas party in 2019, and also a run last year.

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.

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.

Directions:
Use Waze or Google Maps to go to “Changkat Abang Haji Openg” in TTDI, and look for our KLJHHH bunny signs.
You can also direct Waze or Google Maps to “TTDI the hash house”, which is the exact location, but that’s halfway between two roads and you need to make sure you approach it via Changkat Abang Haji Openg.
The coordinates of the entrance to the site are 3.14315, 101.633480

You can drive in if the gate is open, or you can park on the tarmac road and walk in, if you don’t want to get your tyres muddy.

These links should take you to the entrance to the site:

Please park neatly/considerately.

On On!

Run-site: Cherandong Waterfalls, near KKB
Travel Time: allow around 75 minutes, depending on where you start from
Date: Sunday 3rd April, 2022
Hares: the Clark girls: Ellinor Grace and Eva Marie
Co-Hares: Lai
Registration: 1:30 onwards
Run Starts at: 2:00 pm

There will be an Easter Egg Hunt, so be prepared to follow the Easter bunny and try to find/win some chocolate!

We are also celebrating Songkran, so bring your water guns and be prepared to play in the river & waterfalls – there are quiet pools for little Easter chicks as well as rapids for more adventurous bunnies.

The Cherandong Waterfall area is a beautiful nature area near KKB, and has waterfalls, white-water streams and a small dam. We will be starting a little beyond the Cherandong Waterfall Trailhead, right next to the top part of the Selangor river.

The run-site is very close to where we parked in February, but the hares have been exploring and have found more interesting trails to follow.

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.

PLEASE remember to register BEFORE the run, in a socially distanced manner, 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.

Directions

Use Waze or Google Maps to go to “Cherandong Waterfall Trailhead” – this is on tarmac, and is on Jalan Kampung Buluh Telur, 44000, Kuala Kubu Baru, Selangor.

This is on the right (East) side of the river – make sure that Waze doesn’t take you to the closest road on the other side of the river!

Then follow our KLJHHH bunny signs to take the trail on the left, which stays close to the Selangor river for 1 or 2 km further to our run-site, where there is plenty of parking. This trail is suitable for normal cars.
The run-site is private, but the hares have handled any payments required so you don’t have to!

On On!

*** LAST MINUTE CHANGE OF RUN-SITE !!! ***

Run-site: Taman Rimba Templer (in the Templer Park area)
Travel Time: allow 30 – 45 minutes, depending on where you start from
Date: Sunday 6th March, 2022
Hares: Lelia Pezzotta and parents
Co-Hares: more Italians
Registration: 1:20 onwards – please follow SOPs for registration – masks, scanning QR code, etc.
Run Starts at: 2:00 pm

Just like the original plan for March (Sungei Dua) had to be changed, the second plan (Kem Rimba Tamu) has also had to be changed, due to circumstances beyond our control 🙁

The new site is at Taman Rimba Templer, and many of you will know Templer Park as a recreational forest area close to KL (not far beyond Batu Caves) with streams and waterfalls.

The walk/run will set off at 2:00pm, as usual.

There will be hotdogs and cold drinks, as usual, so please remember to bring some pocket money and a change of clothes.

The area around this popular attraction has a few entrances and car parks, but maps show a single location for ‘Taman Rimba Templer’, so that should work fine in Waze or Google Maps.
However, feel free to check back here before you set off, in case our hares have provided additional instructions.

PLEASE remember to register BEFORE the run, in a socially distanced manner, 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.

MEMBERSHIP: The old membership year started in September 2020, and since then we’ve had 6 or 7 runs, so the committee has decided to switch to a January-to-December membership year, with:
– a top-up of RM50 due for members who joined/renewed in September/October 2020
– the full RM100 membership fee due from anyone who did not renew in/after September 2020

Guests just pay RM10 per run, as always.
And new members pay RM10 joining fee plus RM100 subscription, as usual.

Directions:
We’re going to ‘Taman Rimba Templer’, and Waze or Google Maps will have no trouble getting you there.

There are a few entrances to the Templer Park area, and this one is the closest to KL (if coming via Batu Caves). You’ll see the entrance on the right, but it’s a divided road so you will need to do a U-turn (maybe underneath an overpass leading to a housing area) to get there.

To find the correct entrance, click on one of these icons:

If you see the Templer Park Shell station on your right, you’ve missed the U-turn and need to look for another one.

If you see the Templer Park Shell station on your left, then you’re coming from the LATAR / Rawang direction, and need to take the second left after passing Shell.

After taking the turn-off, stop following your navigation app and look for junior hash signs and/or junior hash cars/people.

On On!

For our second run of this year, we’ve picked a more traditional junior hash area, further away from town and with a beautiful waterfall – actually, there are a number of waterfalls nearby.

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

Run-site: Cherandong Waterfall Trailhead, near Kuala Kubu Baru
Travel Time: allow 60 – 75 minutes, depending on where you start from
Date: Sunday 6th February, 2022
Hares: Yaya
Co-Hares: the Lai family

Run Starts at: 2:00 pm

The Cherandong Waterfall area is a beautiful nature area near KKB, and has waterfalls, white-water streams and a small dam. We will be starting near the Cherandong Waterfall Trailhead, and you can be certain to see plenty of jungle and plenty of water as you walk or run along the trail.

The geography experts will realise that, because there are waterfalls, there must be hills, but we’ll try not to make the trails too tough, and we usually have a Short Trail for our littlest members as well as a Long Trail for the bigger kids. When you arrive and sign in, you will be able to decide which trail is best for your family.

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.

PLEASE remember to register BEFORE the run, in a socially distanced manner, 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.

The last membership year started in September 2020, and since then we’ve had 6 or 7 runs, so the committee has decided to switch to a January-to-December membership year, with:
– a top-up of RM50 due for people who joined/renewed in September/October 2020
– the full RM100 membership fee due from anyone who did not renew in/after September 2020

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

Directions (updated after the run):
Use Waze or Google Maps to go to “Cherandong Waterfall Trailhead” – this is on tarmac, and is on Jalan Kampung Buluh Telur, 44000, Kuala Kubu Baru, Selangor.
Then follow our KLJHHH bunny signs to take the trail on the left, which stays close to the Selangor river for about 2km further to our run-site. This trail is suitable for normal cars.
The run-site is private, but the hares have handled any payments required so you don’t have to!

On On and Gong Xi Fa Cai !!!

For our first run of 2022, we’ve picked a site that’s very easy to get to, so your parents don’t need to drive for an hour or worry about crocodiles sneaking around flooded forests.

Run-site: the Hash Heritage site, at TTDI / Bukit Kiara
Travel Time: 5 to 30 minutes, depending on where in KL/PJ you’re starting
Date: Sunday 2nd January, 2022
Hares: the French family
Co-Hares: the Renshaw family
Registration: 1:20 onwards – please follow SOPs for registration – masks, scanning QR code, etc.!
Run Starts at: 2:00 pm

Unless 100 people come, we should all be able to park inside the Hash Heritage site, but you can park outside if you’re worried about getting your wheels muddy. Your shoes will definitely get muddy either way!

There is no stream here to play in, but the woods are great.

PLEASE remember to register BEFORE the run, in a socially distanced manner, 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. It’s very tempting to just roll around in the mud when you get back, but please sign out first!

As always, we will have plenty of drinks for the young and the old, so don’t forget to bring some change.
We are also hoping to have delicious hot-dogs after the run.

Directions:
Use Waze or Google Maps to go to “TTDI the Hash House”.
The entrance is on Changkat Abang Haji Openg, so make sure Waze takes you that way.
Changkat Abang Haji Openg is the up-hill road that joggers/hikers park on when visiting Bukit Kiara, and is crowded during the cool times of day but not at 1:30pm.

On On into 2022!
