==================================================
A good turn up today with over 70 excited hashers congregating at the temple ground for another Bunnies run. Among the 70 odd people at least 40% went inside to have a taste of Co-Hare Julieh’s another signature run—just catered for the Bunnies. Guest runner from Bangladesh Juned a.k.a “Rail-Jerker” together with his wife & another senior lady who was with $Bunny all the way survived that wonderful run.
10mins before the horn was blown, a pack of ESB’s (Early Starting Bastards) led by the Hiew Family were already inside the jungle to the amazement of S-Tripper. Even with FRB’s like Fansoo, Ah Fook & S-Tripper, they only managed to overtake them when they hit the ravine just before the last hill to go out!
The trail started from the left side of the temple up on an earth ledge which was covered with ashes and dead leaves as an aftermath from the recent bush fire. It used to be greener with thick foliage from the top of the hill to the bottom, but that day, the whole hill was bare & parched brown. Practically one could just go up easily from any direction and end up on the other side of the hill. As we continued our way up, more & more parched areas were visible; sadly enough nobody seemed to care.
From the top of the ridge, we continued down thru’ a rock-face paved with loose gravel, stones & earth that made the trail looked very dangerous, but somehow rather everybody seemed to passed that hurdle with no report of accident. All along the trail was on the exposed rock bed as a result of years of erosion and to paint an even uglier scene of the area, there were isolated dumping sites far from the eyes of the public. By the time we passed that bare landscape, the paper brought us down to a cooler enclave of rustling leaves & soft earth.
There were lots of trees to hold onto even as we snaked our ways along the skirt of the hill, thus making the trail gentle enough to any able Bunnies. In fact on my 2nd round when I caught up with Julieh who was then standing as bobtail for Roselyn, our senior guest was just doing fine inching her way down onto the ravine.
Then it was a slow climb up to the only hill of that run and just before I pulled myself up on that steep ledge, Ah Fook whizzed by us followed by Vic Vapourub. Rail-Jerker, our Bangladeshi guest struggled a bit to negotiate that last hurdle, however in the company of NiNi, Boss Bunny, $Bunny & Dorice his tiredness seemed to go off faster than the time he’d stopped for a breath. Once in a while we could hear sT. BeRnarD singing On-On just to encourage our guests.
Finally we were out to the main ‘hi-way’ which would then lead us to the base. The rest of the pack followed the open space to link to the starting point, while Julieh & I followed the correct trail out. It was still very bright when the last Bunny reached the base.

ON-ON
When we reached Gaya Seafood Restaurant for our On-On, there were already 3 tables fully taken and so Boss Bunny, Nini, $Bunny & I were allowed to have half-a-table setting altho’ our two guests made up to 7 pax including Kartini who joined us later. Tofu in thick chicken sauce came in first followed by eggplant sauté with minced meat. Later sweet & sour fish fillet was served then the fried chicken (just half of the bird after all we had half a table). The Hare was not around so we all paid the full price at RM10.0 per pax. After the meal, there were still a few Bunnies stayed behind for coffee and long chat. A MILLION THANKS TO JULIEH FOR ARRANGING EVERYTHING FROM RUNSITE TO ON-ON VENUE.
