A couple of years ago, some families didn’t want to drive to this beautiful, remote run-site, but the road has improved enormously, and is now easily drivable in any kind of car. The track is now entirely either concrete or gravel, with no tricky bits.
It’s going to be a great run, and the hares have spent a lot of effort clearing the cut-throughs to connect a trail suitable for the Junior Hash – initially with parangs, then with secateurs, and finally with a dustpan and brush to ensure that the trail is clean enough to eat your lunch off 🙂
Actually, the trail has a very wild & jungly feel to it, and has a 100 metre river section on the short trail (2km) and a 700 metre river section on the long trail (4km) – if the weather is hot as usual, then the stream will be perfect for cooling down. The stream is mostly around 30cm deep, but 60cm in spots, and there are some optional little swimmable bits on the outside of some bends.
As usual, there will be hotdogs and cool drinks served down by the river when you finish, so just send one person back to the car for some cash, or carry it with you in a ziplock bag (you’re going to get wet!!!).
Please sign in when you arrive:
- Members please remember to mark the registration sheet.
- Guests fill in kids’ details (plus a phone number) on the guest sheet, and pay the guest fees of RM10 per kid.
and PLEASE remember to sign out when you get back from the trail, so we know that nobody is lost.
Directions
The parking is near a small Hindu temple, set among the buildings of an abandoned palm oil estate, close to a river.
So we park at the top, and then you can walk forward and follow the track left down to a river crossing, where we plan to set up the registration desk, hotdog/drinks stall and do the circle.
As with most run-sites, it’s easy to get there if you let Waze or Google Maps help you navigate.
The last 3.5km of the driving route, after leaving the main road and passing Rasa Chinese Cemetery, is really good now.
