*** CHANGED RUN-SITE – NOW CONFIRMED ***
Run-site: Eagle’s Nest / Sungei Sendat Waterfalls, near Ulu Yam Baru
Travel Time: 60-70 minutes
Date: Sunday 7th October, 2018
Registration: 1:15 – 1:45 pm
Run Starts at: 2:00 pm

[ We had to change from our earlier announced site (Sungei Dua) because of problems getting access. ]
Sungei Sendat is a popular site with upgraded parking (at least it was being upgraded last time we were there!). There is a nice stream to play in, but please keep an eye on your kids, as always. A couple of hundred metres up-stream, you have the actual waterfall, with a small charge for entry, but we won’t be running there (feel free to go in by yourselves, before or after) and be careful not to fall in.
As usual, we will have hot dogs (made from premium halal Victoria Crest sausages) and cold drinks on sale.
Also as usual, all are welcome, including non-members (‘guests’), who can just turn up and go to our registration desk, to sign in and pay the guest fee of RM10 per kid.
See you there!
Subscriptions
For members who didn’t make it to September’s run, please remember to bring RM100 per member for your annual subs! Anyone who joins or renews will get a stylish junior hash t-shirt.
Directions
GPS apps make it easy to get there:
WAZE: Hutan Lipur Sungei Sendat
About 150m before the waterfall entrance (end of the tarmac road), the road turns right, but we stop there (or go slightly left) and park in the newly cleared area there.
In case of any small changes on the day, look for the usual yellow bunny hash signs to guide you to the correct location.
