This is our AGM run!!!
That’s the start of a new membership year, and also the start of a new committee year. So please bring your pocket money to renew your membership, and also think about joining the committee.

The run-site is next to a small river (or large stream?) in the Ulu Tamu area, beyond Batang Kali and not far past the hot springs.

Like everything else at the moment (and until the end of the year, if not longer), we have an SOP to follow, so:
– please stay at home if you have a fever or other symptoms
– when registering, please wear face-masks, present foreheads for temperature measurement, wave elbows instead of shaking hands, and bring a phone to scan our QR code (MySejahtera)
– please remember social distancing – even in the wide open spaces and fresh air, there are still rules

We will be serving drinks as usual, but recommend that you bring your own snacks/picnics.

If you want to make a mini-holiday of it, there are a number of eco-resorts very close by, with prices from RM60 for a chalet at Kem Rimba Tamu (where we ran from in January – call Sunan at 013 388 0713 and say Cesare from the Junior Hash sent you) to a lot more money for glamping at Dusun Bonda, both of which have accommodation overlooking the river.

Directions:
This run site is near the end of the road that goes past the Ulu Tamu hot springs.

Click on one of these icons to head to the run site:

Or follow these directions:
– Exit KLCC and take Jln Kuching/Route 1 and continue for 21km
– Keep right to continue on Rawang bypass for 7.5 km (still on Route 1)

– After 2.1 km, turn right, towards Ulu Tamu hot springs
– Continue for nearly 4 km, until you reach the run-site beside the road

There are many alternative routes, including a number of different junctions off the N-S highway, but all will go past the traffic lights near the Batang Kali police station.
And all will end up following either blue or pink paper for a fun jungle trail!

On On!

We are back with the old and familiar! This month it’s more of a kampung run than a hard-core jungle run, but there’s no shortage of nature and good views, and the big kids who love to run fast will find plenty of opportunity for that (the slow ones can just walk as usual!). There is a stream to cool off later.

Run-site: Ulu Rening, near Huda’s Haven resort (in the Genting Valley, near Hulu Yam / Batang Kali)

As always, everyone needs to register before the run, at our registration desk.
It is essential for everyone (members and guests) to sign in before the run and sign out after the run, so we know that nobody is lost.

Directions:
As with most run-sites, it’s easy to get there if you let Waze or Google Maps help you navigate – just click on the icon below or look up “Huda’s Haven” on Waze.

Once you reach the T-junction in Ulu Rening village, turn left and follow brown signs towards “Huda’s Haven” and green signs towards ‘Tanah Perkuburan Islam Kg Hulu Rening Selangor’, until you see our usual KLJHHH bunny signs.
The run site is before a footbridge across the river.
Once you get within around 200m of the footbridge, you need to look for parking beside the track, as there isn’t any big car park at the end. Please stay on public land.

Hooray – we’re hashing again!
This month, as we start to get back to normal, we are inviting members and regular hashers.
We will have cold drinks, but no food, so you can think about bringing your own picnic.

We are starting with a nice simple run on relatively flat, easy trails around this secluded run-site, plus an optional loop at the end for people who want a bit more running and mud 🙂
For grown-up hashers, it’s the same site that Petaling HHH used last Saturday (4th July).

We don’t know if we will have a large or small pack, so it is even more essential than usual for everyone to sign in before the run and sign out after the run, so we know that nobody is lost in the deep, dark jungle!

We also have to follow a SOP, so we do not risk spreading Covid-19:
– anyone with a high temperature or other symptoms may not attend
– everyone must sign in, with a phone number
– when close to other people around the run site (especially the registration desk),
please wear a face-mask and observe social distancing (masks are optional on the trail)

There is a pleasant stream near the run-site.

Directions
As with most run-sites, it’s easy to get there if you let Waze or Google Maps help you navigate.

If you click one of these icons, it will direct you to the run-site:

But check the proposed route carefully – we think that Waze is educated now and will no longer suggest that you drive 6km along a very rough track from Batang Kali, which is no longer passable (one car got stuck there last Saturday and had to turn back). To prevent that, simply go via Rasa Chinese Cemetary, which is here:

If you follow these instructions, you should find it easily, but we’ll have paper signs as you get close.
There are a couple of places where you need to take it slowly.

For traditionalists, you could follow the directions below (there are also good alternatives, e.g. past Batu Caves and up the new Rawang bypass, or via the N-S highway to Bukit Beruntung):

From KL Head North on NKVE and Exit 117 for Sungei Buaya / Serendah.
Reset Trip Meter at Toll

• 350m Turn left onto Route 1208
• Go straight (winding road) for just over 2km until you reach traffic lights
• Turn right at the lights, towards Serendah/Rawang
• Drive straight for about 3km, passing the Perodua factory, and keep in the left lane as you approach the old highway 1 at Sungei Choh.
• Approx 7km: turn left at traffic lights onto route 1, towards Serendah / KKB / Ipoh
• 26km (just after bridge and road sign to Rasa on left) Turn Right, following hash signs onto gravel road at cemetery.

Follow Hash signs for a further 3.6km, to the run-site.

On On!

Run-site: Serendah Recreational Waterfall
Travel Time: 45 min from most places
Date: Sunday 1st March
Registration: 1:00 pm onwards
Run starts: 2:00 pm
Hares: Grigolo family

Our hares have found the best place to beat the steadily climbing mercury levels! The Serendah waterfalls and the lush green surroundings form a great backdrop for a Sunday afternoon. After the run, there is definitely some splashing in the cool water, so bring your towels and a change of clothes.

The place is also a good picnic spot for those of you who want to reach the run site early.

Don’t forget to bring along some pocket change for cold drinks. We may not have hot dogs unless we find volunteers to cook at the site.

Directions:

Look up Serendah Recreational Waterfall on Waze or click on the google map icon below to head to the run site:

-Exit N-S highway at junction 117, Sungai Buaya, set trip meter at toll.
-Turn left onto route 1208 towards Serendah.
-At T junction, turn right towards Sungai Choh, 6.5km
-At T junction, turn left onto route 1 towards Serendah
-Proceed 3.3km until you reach the traffic lights, then right right. This is the first traffic light after the Serendah police station. 9.9km from the toll. (if you see a Caltex on your right, it means you overshot – make a U-turn and turn left immediately after Caltex at the traffic light)
-Turn left after 400m (10.3km from the toll)
-You are on the right track if you see a school on your left. Go straight
-At the 11km mark from the toll, look for a blue sign that says CCRC. Turn left onto this narrow road
-Proceed another 3km, passing by the orang asli settlement
-Towards the end, just before the steel bridge, turn left and follow the hash signs

Alternatively, take the Rawang bypass off Jln Kuching and follow the same instructions as above from the first traffic light after the Serendah police station.

There is plenty of parking available at arrival point. This is also a site with public toilets.

On!on!

Run-site: Theravada Buddhist Temple, Semenyih
Travel Time: 1-1.5 hours
Date: Sunday 2nd February
Registration: 1:00 pm onwards
Run starts: 2:00 pm
Hares: Becker family

Gong xi fa cai!

Perched atop a little hillock, the Theravada Buddhist Temple is perfect for our Year of the Rat run. You may remember this site from 2017 if you’ve been with us for long. The trail is peaceful (only jungle sounds, plus the occasional “On On!”) and very scenic, with huge trees and boulders. The ‘long’ run will be a good work-out for the fast kids, and the ‘short’ run will be a good hike for the smaller ones.

There is no stream at the run-site, so no swimming after the run, but it’s a great place to relax and look around the temple. Please stay for the ‘circle’ after the run, as that’s an important part of the junior hash.

The kids will get ang pows (little red envelopes with money) as well as Mandarins, ubiquitous to the chinese new year celebration.

You could consider making it a full day out, taking in the “Ostrich Wonderland” or other attractions around Semenyih, as well as the temple and run.

Don’t forget to bring along some pocket change for cold drinks. We may not have hot dogs unless we find volunteers to cook at the site.

Directions:

Click on one of these icons to head to the run site:

– It is faster via Semenyih – it’s also reachable via Hulu Langat, but that will be slower for most people.
– There will be KLJHHH bunny signs on the B19, for people coming from either direction.
– Once on the road towards the temple, you will pass an ostrich park, a memorial park, some fishing ponds and a resort run by the local Orang Asli

There is plenty of parking available at arrival point. This is also a site with public toilets.

On!on!
