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.

This is very different from a normal Junior Hash event, but it still includes a normal jungle run (with short and long trails), 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.

Run-site: NamBee estate, near Rasa
Travel Time: allow 60 – 80 minutes, depending on where you start from
Date: Sunday 1st October, 2023
Hares/Co-Hares: Isaac & Amelia Milliner
Registration: 1:00 onwards
Run Starts at: 2:00 pm

We’re back at a great running area, by the river running through the old Nambee Estate.
It’s not such a great driving area, but we can do a shuttle over the last 1-2 kilometres, for anyone who wants to park before the road gets scary.

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.

A section of the run will be in the river (mostly 30 – 60cm deep), which is great fun and nice & cool, but it should be possible to bypass that if you have a very small child and don’t want to carry them – ask before the run starts.

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

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 then follow the track left down to a river crossing, where we may set up our hotdog 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 has some muddy/bumpy bits and also some nice flat bits.
Everyone needs to take care, and low-slung cars may need to take extra care – don’t rush it!

If you click one of these icons, it will direct you all the way 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. To prevent that, simply make sure that you 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.
After you turn off the main road, the quality of the track varies a lot – some of it is very good, but 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.

If you have a car with low clearance, or you don’t trust your car (or yourself) along a variable-quality road with some tricky bits, please come EARLY, drive as far as you’re comfortable (the Durian Farm is the suggested spot to drive to), and then find a safe place to park and either walk the rest of the way or get a lift with someone’s off-road vehicle.
You can WhatsApp (not always reliable in the wilds) or SMS 012 305 7004 with your name, the locaton where you’re waiting, and the number of people, and we’ll sort something out.

On On!
