If today is year 2024, BullSHiT would be 67yo and Boss Bunny would be 60+ while $Bunny & sT. Bernard would be over 70. I don’t know where the rest of golden Bunnies would be. So for those who are still able and mobile don’t wait until your 70+ and start to finish the run. Enjoy the run while you still can as time may not be gracious to you at all.
Week after week it has always been raining in KK and last week’s run was no exception. In fact the rain didn’t stop at all after it came down heavily just 30mins before the run began. Co-Hare Wanderer must have calculated the rate of the speed of clouds travelling towards Kepayan Ridge when they ventured in to set the run. Poor $Bunny was cooped inside the car to register us eventho’ only a handful would likely make an effort to brave the rain.
As the Bunny signboard pointed towards Golden Hill housing estate, the trail started from the entrance of the estate towards the open field. At least last week’s run was quite safe as there was no thunder & lightning that accompanied the heavy downpour. By the time the pack started the run, the creek was already swelling with water and once you step out from your car, you’ll certainly get wet from head to feet. The rain made the terrain also very slippery and muddy, especially the part where we had to climb up to the ledge of the hill.
It was slippery tho’ but for those who braved the rain, they were able to cross the deep drainage without any difficulty. As we began to gain height, we could see our cars lining up the whole stretch of the street of the housing estate. It was rather an idiotic accomplishment to stand along the ledge towards the radar station during heavy rain like that. Luckily there was no thunder or lightning ‘coz we were rather exposed in our entirety against any thunderstorm—not even a single big tree to shelter us.
Friendly faces popped out from radar post to check on these crazy people running in the rain. After passing by the parameter of the radar station, we were on the road of Shangri-la estate but the paper verged right into the lawn of the abandoned bungalow. Very familiar terrain indeed as we had passed that way so many times. From there, we eased ourselves among tall & sharp ‘lalang’ & undergrowth to follow the outer fencing of the gigantic water tank.
Once we overcome that last hurdle, it was an easy run down the slope towards the open space again. There used to be enclaves of illegal dwellings hidden from the eyes of the authorities but I think after a series of housing development around the area, the developer must have raze down the colony.
Some traces of holey papers had been washed away by the heavy rain while some still clung to the some isolated shrubs. Despite being drenched by the rain, there was no casualty and everyone got back to base in one piece. Thanks to Mr. Wanderer and company for the run.
