Run-site: Cherandong Waterfalls, near KKB
Travel Time: allow around 75 minutes, depending on where you start from
Date: Sunday 3rd July, 2022
Hares: Marthe & Wilma (new hares!)
Co-Hares: Lucas, Marcus and Oscar
Registration: 1:30 onwards, but you can come earlier to have a picnic and play in the river
Run Starts at: 2:00 pm

When we find a really good run-site, we like to use it, as we don’t know if it might be bull-dozed or developed one day!
So our July run is back at the same great site we used in April (did you hunt Easter Eggs with us?) and also in February (CNY).

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 upper reaches of the Selangor river.

There will be two trails – 5 or 6km for the bigger or more intrepid kids, and around 2.5 or 3km for the smaller ones.

There are rocks and waterfalls and placid pools by the run-site, so something for everyone to relax after the run, as long as you like it wet!

We are not celebrating Songkran this time, but feel free to bring your water guns again 🙂

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 (no need to message us in advance!). 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 (aged up to 18). There is no cost for adults, or for babies who are too young to even toddle around the trail.

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

Directions

Start by using Waze or Google Maps to go to “Cherandong Waterfall Trailhead” – that point 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 (Taman Milenium/Mellinium)!

The runsite is about 1km along the river, so look out for the hare’s home-made KLJHHH hash signs.

Follow the KLJHHH signs to turn left onto a track.
It stays close to the Selangor river for around 1 km further to our run-site, where there is plenty of parking. This trail is suitable for normal cars, but the top speed is 20 – 30 km/h, so don’t rush this part even if you’re late.

The parking is at a private picnic/camping area, but the hares have handled any payments required so you don’t have to – just drive up and you’ll be welcome!

These locations are approximate – you’ll need to look for hash signs and turn left off the tarmac road onto a riverside track:

On On!

Run-site: A Riverside Cabin, Hulu Tamu (just before Dusun Bonda)
Travel Time: allow 70 – 80 minutes, depending on where you start from

Co-Hares: Lai’s family

Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka!

This month’s run is at Hulu Tamu, near Batang Kali, Selangor. The area is a popular weekend gateway and has plenty of eco resorts. Enthusiasts come to enjoy camping, hiking, rivers, waterfall, fruit orchards and much more.

The run will start and finish at ‘the cabin’, right by the river, with plenty of parking. This is about 400 metres past Kem Rimba Tamu (where we’ve run a couple of times) and the Hulu Tamu hot springs, and about 200 metres before Dusun Bonda.

Some people will camp here on Saturday night – if you want to participate, just turn up on Saturday afternoon, bringing your tent and supplies! On the Sunday morning, you can walk to the hot springs or just play at the site.

Depending on our little hashers’ liking there will be two scenic & easy loops to choose from, one at 4.2 km and the other at 2.2 km. The run will bring you into the ‘orang asli’ village, river crossing (on the longer run), some open trails, deer farm (Bambi?) and fruit orchards (no picking!).

The walk/run will set off at 2:00pm, and you can follow paper for a short or long trail, which will bring you back to the starting point in about an hour.

After the run, little hashers and their parents can have a picnic and enjoy the river behind the cabin.

There will be hotdogs and cold drinks, as usual, so please 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.

Guests just pay RM10 per run, as always.

In previous years, September was our AGM run and the start of our membership year, but our year now runs from January to December, so September is a normal run.

If you click on one of these icons, it will take you to exactly the right place:

Or you can ask your favourite navigation app to take you to “Dusun Bonda”, and look for the cabin (on the left) about 200 metres before you get there.

Run-site: Commonwealth Forest Park (Taman Eko Rimba Komanwel)
Travel Time: 20 – 40 minutes
Date: Sunday 12th June, 2022
Hares: Grigolo and Pezzotta families
Registration: 1:30 onwards
Run Starts at: 2:00 pm

Just like May, our June run will be on the second Sunday, as many people are likely to go away for the long weekend at the beginning of June.

We are running at the Commonwealth Forest Park, an eco-reserve not far beyond Batu Caves and Templer Park.
The hares haven’t told me what to expect on the run, but I know this park has plenty of natural forest and waterfalls, so it’s going to be a good one!

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

As with most of our runs, all kids/families are welcome, and you can just turn up – there is no need to pre-register, and we don’t always check our messages, but it’s a very good idea to check fb.com/kljhhh on the day of the run, in case there are any last-minute updates.

But 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.

Guest kids just pay RM10 per run, as always.
If you’ve run a couple of times and want to become a member, ask one of the friendly people at the registration desk.

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

Directions:
This site is on the West (left) side of the road (Jalan Rawang, old highway 1) from Batu Caves to Rawang, just before the junction for the new-ish Rawang bypass (the big viaduct that goes to Serendah).

You can reach Jalan Rawang via Jalan Kuching from KL, or via the MRR2 (turn off at the big junction near Batu Caves).
You can even reach it via the LATAR highway (E25) if you live in the North-West part of the Klang Valley, but then you’ll need to do a u-turn.

If you ask Waze or Google Maps to take you to “Commonwealth Forest Park Falls”, and try not to miss the turning, then you’ll definitely find us.

This is a popular picnic/hiking spot, so please park neatly/considerately as always.

On On!

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.

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.

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!
