The Run by our Mystery Run Reporter: Ripper

(Ripper thank you for helping me out at short notice – much appreciated)

 

Billed as the Anniversary Run, a heavy vehicle park seemed an odd choice of run sites to celebrate a marriage.  Was it a case of heavy going or built for the long haul.  Only time will tell, although judging by the hare’s long range fuel tank it could well be the latter.

 

In any case the pack was duly assembled at 6:00, given their instructions, pointed in the general direction, and slipped off the leash.  Away we bounded, only to be confronted with rows and rows of barking canines pawing at their cages straining to get out.  Great – one slipped latch and we’ll become the hares with a thousand hounds baying at our heels.  Not quite what I had in mind, and I wondered if “going to the dogs” was another marital omen.  Fortunately the run veered away from the kennels and headed up the road and past some fish farms (no fishy jokes here) only to have it cut into some open space and behind yet more kennels.  A good check reassembled the pack and then it was into the bushes to follow a fence around a waste disposal plant.

 

Shortly thereafter we exited out onto Lorong Halus, where a check just off the road beside a canal had us looking in every direction except forward.  Eventually it was found – it was a forward check – and everyone was delighted to see the Mad Chinaman well and truly committed to the wrong side of the canal.  Well, everyone except Boo who, facing a very long run back, chose to swim / wade his way across shoulder deep muddy water to rejoin the pack.  (And that is why, ladies, you don’t follow Boo)

 

A long muddy trail had a back onto Lorong Halus to an upside down T.  It was decided to ignore this and just follow paper which led across a waterlogged field.  At least we got our shoes clean even if the ground was a bit uneven on the ankles.  A bit more road running passing yet more fish farms.  Then a canal crossing which had our shoes even cleaner and, by now, thoroughly waterlogged.  Those who chose the short run option missed out on this.  Some more bush bashing followed by even more fish farms and more dog kennels.  I think we must have passed every dog pound / kennel in Singapore and was thinking there must be a charge in there somewhere.

 

A quick trip up a back lane (no jokes please Coo Chi Coo) and back along the aforementioned earlier said canal before turning off and heading for home.

 

What did I think of the run?  Well, I could say it was a doggone good run, but I won’t.  I could say there was something fishy about it, but I won’t.  What I will say is that it was a good run.  Thanks hares.

 

 

 

The Circle by Half Cut

Circle began at 07.57 pm.

 

What did we think of the Run There were cheers, jeers and heckles but a ‘good run’ was the agreed outcome

Tell us about your On On: at Summer Night Breeze Restaurant – a Chinese banquet for $12.

I must say a very enjoyable night it was too.  Tables were set up, especially for us, right on the water’s edge and a cool breeze was blowing in off the ocean.  Beer was plentiful, being served in towers, and company was great.  What more could we want.

 

Next Week’s Run: Handbag and Son in Pasir Ris

 

Milestones: None

 

Virgins: Tia Maria brought Esti along. When Cock Radio said to her ‘I believe you speak Spanish’ we all groaned, remembering an episode a few circles back when he put us through quite an ordeal with Tia Maria interpreting his Spanish – if Tia Maria explains to Esti what that comment was about we are sure to never see her again.

      Straits Times 20th August 2009 – London: Beer Can Strengthen Bones

Hashers who drink moderate amounts of beer may be strengthening their bones, new research has found.

 

A study by Spanish scientists of almost 1,700 hashers , published in the journal Nutrition, found that bone density was better in regular drinkers than in non-drinkers.

 

But, the team, from the University of Extra-mad-u-r in Caceres, said it did recommend that people drink beer to boost bone health.  It said plant hormones in the beer rather than the alcohol may be responsible for the effects.

 

Experts urged caution, warning that not drinking more than two units of alcohol a day was known to harm bone health, the BBC said.

 

On On On On!
