Before the run started there was near tragedy as Witless, that other Scribe, went off for a recce. His overbearing personality completely destroyed the in-trail, which should have been across the water just above the falls then up a series of concrete steps. Unfortunately these steps gave way under his weight and landed on top of him leaving him alive but mangled.

 The run started on road - not a good sign but at least this took us across the river without getting wet. Then we cut in to the right. It seemed as though it would be a rightie but the Welsh are cunning bastards - they get it from the sheep you know - so some runners still kept their options open. The trail headed through kampong and out into the crops. This was starting out to be a good run. Some good running country and good views. The trail crossed a road and this was time to cut out a loop. Not long after we found paper and then reached a well organised kampong with houses in straight rows and concrete paths in between. It was at this point that we met BB coming the other way. It was apparent that we had been on the in-trail! So, like Welsh sheep, we followed BB through the kampong and on out across barren wasteland.

 The trail continued after that through good running country until we eventually came to a Garuda hotel in what appeared to be the middle of nowhere. Off right back into crops and kampong. So far so good and I would have given this run a good-to-excellent rating. But then as 6.00 passed (luckily the evenings are lighter at this time of the year) and the trail was on rough cobble stone road for kilometre after kilometre. Boring, boring and rough on the old feet. And as we ran (?) along these roads so it became dark. We were however able to make out the word view painted on the road.

 The last part of some runs is always interesting for us back markers. Considerate hares bring us in on easy roads with obvious paper. Not so the welsh bastards. Off the roads through paddy field, down banks and to the river with an option of a treacherous crossing and climb (remember the steps had gone) or a ten minute dry route.

 It is always difficult as scribe to report the events in the Circle when you arrive back from the run after 7.00 p.m. but that other one did give me some indecipherable notes, so here goes. DDs were apparently given to the Committee including stand-in MM Koncorde. Kevin Fucking Desmond was welcomed back and shortly thereafter put on ice to prevent him from leaving early. Despite telling a joke (was it?) to get off the ice, he remained on it. Tom Jones was given a DD for not being able to tell the difference between his car engine noise and the generator, which was really the source of the fumes drifting across the circle, and Vatican for giving misleading information. The Irish notably Pretty Boy were called in for leaving a copy of January 22^nd Irish Echo on the trail and the Hash Sec got a DD for not having prepared the Minutes of last Tuesday's Mismanagement's meeting including the new names for run ratings.

 The Hares were called in who, this evening, were modelling a new line in Irian Jaya fashion - leeks as gourds. The run discussion produced diametrically opposed comments - BB, good run - Bolt-1-On, too many graves - Tarzan, three cemeteries - Kevin BD, roads and graveyards = Hashshit - Anguish, loved it, best of all. The last comment was interesting as Angie arrived in at 7.15 even later than Sadist (7.03), B-1-O, The Rope and Bob Coombes (7.05) and Tarzan (7.06). The run was declared a shit-of-a-run and the hares iced for their sins.

 Pretty Boy got his T-shirt for 200 runs and sang "Never Trust a Hasher - They Lie, They Lie O-oh" and Sheepskin got one for 250 runs and sang from the book. Herb washed his 400 run T-shirt in icy water before wearing it and tried to get away with a joke off the Internet.

 The Hares sang a version of "Land of My Fathers" - well Col. Bloodknock and Leeky Dick did. Elephant Man seemed to have not been given any words but redeemed himself with "Lloyd George Knew etc." There was also a version of "My Hen Laid a Haddock" also known as the Welsh National anthem. The MM actually sung one song all evening - "Allouette" with the help of JP. The circle closed at 8.10 with free makan at the Saga restaurant provided by the Hares. Thanks Hares or is it Finexco for the shirts. The Rope. 1/03/99
