    Fly the trail along with us . . . https://www.relive.cc/view/vZqNxwZL53O

    What an awesome trail we had out in the countryside north of Kuala Lumpur. Start was about 60 kms to the north, and we met along a lazy old stream. Although it was sunny when we started, it quickly turned overcast as we took off on trail. After a short run up the old road, we turned right and into a rubber tree plantation for what would be 9 + Kms of fun. 10 minutes into trail, it starts to sprinkle. 10 more minutes and it is more like rain. Another 10 minutes and it is pouring. Totally drenched, our pack of about 50 hashers are looking for small 4 inch square pieces of paper that are made to disintegrate in 3 days or less, but in the rain . . . in about 30 minutes. The trail is just lovely, and we are having a ball going through the maze of rubber trees (if you have never been in a rubber tree plantation . . . oh boy).

    Seriously, some checks, there is literally a dozen equally possible ways for the trail to go. You don’t want to get out of shouting distance if you are checking, because if you do, and the pack finds the trail, and you don’t hear it . . . well, oooops (and in the pouring rain . . . double, no triple ooops). So we slog our way through this trial for nearly 2 hours, and make the river crossing at the end, and all is well. Really, it was one of the most awesome trails I have run. Virginia may be for lovers, but damnit . . . Malaysia is for Hashers!! On On.
