Royal Lake Club Harriers: The 2015 Beer Crawl

Tuesday, 2 June 2015

RLC Harriers Run No 868 ... Beer Crawl

Run Site : Lake Garden & vicinity

Hares : The usual suspects

Weather : Rain before the run and dry thereafter

It rained cats and dogs at around 3pm but at 4.30 it stopped ... we

always know that the Weather God is a hasher. Hashers from other

chapters came and registered and each got a running shirt and a cap

(courtesy of Jake, the steak-house next to Victoria Station, Damansara

at the back end of Bangsar)

In the meantime, Colonel Johan was making an evil concoction

innocently called a 'punch' and Bala was improving the taste of 5

bottles of Pepsi Cola with a bottle of Black Label. Others were busy

loading up the two beer trucks with Carlsberg beer and Royal Stout. It

looked like a very good run ahead.

Promptly at 5.30, we set off up to the National Monument and into the

jungle next to Datin Ann's house. Then it was across the road and into

the Dragon Trail and round Parliamet House and back to the Club to

join the walkers into Lake Garden for a leisurely stroll to the

carpark below the Planetarium above the stair to the National Museum.

The beer trucks were waiting and everyone loaded up with beer, stout

and Isomax while Bomoh Quik Silverfox conducted a circle. After that,

we ran (no, walked) past the Police Museum and towards the National

Mosque where another check stopped us. Eventually we walked past

Tanglin Medical Centre and towards Selangor Club and back to Jalan

Parliament where there was another stop. Among other things, pizza was

served.

We went back to the Club and had another Circle where donors were

suitably honoured. A quick shower and it was to Bunga Raya for a

slap-up meal where more beverages awaited. We wined and dined and had

a jolly good time.
