Royal Lake Club Harriers: Run 876 Jul 28 is in Bukit Lagong

RLC Harriers Run #876 28 July 2015

Run Site : Bukit Lagong

Hares : Tommy Chin & Yem

Weather : Fine weather

As we waited (most of us arrived early because we were so unsure about

the traffic), we saw the hares from the ParkCity Hash coming back but

our hares who went in at 4.00pm were still not out ... trouble

looming?

At 6.00pm, GM Woon pressed his roti horn off we went up the slope

along the makeshift unpaved road used by Forestry Dept officials and

maintenance workers from TNB servicing the pylons. The upward path

seemed to go on for ever and ever until broken by a check. The

not-so-clever runners went left, only to be met by some pieces of

papers and then no more ... so back to the right and then we continued

to climb up and up.

Then the road stopped and we were led into the jungle and what a

relief. After the heat of Kuala Lumpur, this place was like an

air-conditioned forest. We climbed up and up and then at footcamp

Everest where we could see the sky, something happened!

Ann Choo was caught in an avalanche. Playboy Choo was at hand and

rescued her, giving her the kiss of life and then decided to carry her

down to base camp. UY, the ever willing gallent gentleman, agreed to

go down ahead to ensure no snow drift would impeded their progress and

he did a wonderful job. Playboy Choo will certify that no snow was

present on the route home.

As soon as we arrived home, Mike Kuan came in FROP at 7.20pm. Then the

fun began ... our hare, Tommy started opening the durians and

rambutans. Everybody who came home made a beeline for Tommy's truck

while the itchy fellows started looking for leeches that had managed

to climb aboard.

When the circle started, we had some unfinished business from last

Saturday's Quadrangular Run in Klang. Short-cutters like Cecelia Yap,

Serena Tan and Vivien Hoi were punished for crossing the railway

lines, ignoring the safety bridge above. The 4 drinkers who won the

Boat Race for RLC Harriers were feted - Peter Leong, Leslie Antoine

and the absent Good Mood Veloo and Prema. Well done, you did us proud.

Col Johan was honoured for waving the RLC flag proudly with his "Balls

to your partner" performance.

After the circle, we made our way to a restaurant where good food was

served, washed down with a bottle of GlenMorangie, courtesy of UY.

We all had a wonderful time as always

Now for those of you reading this report and were not there at Bukit

Lagong tonight, what the hell ... come and join us.
