As well as being in Melaka, this run will start at 3:30pm, so you'll need to leave home much much earlier than usual!!!
Venue: Sungei Udang, Melaka
Hares: Joint Masters
Scribe: Tan Chin Wan
Comic: Nick Morss
We strongly recommend staying in Melaka overnight (see below for accommodation suggestions).
Our bus will be leaving the Hash House Hotel to go to the run site at 2.30 pm,
... then onto the Malacca Club for circle, ON-ON and food...
... finally returning to Melaka for further partying at the Hash Pub at approx. 10 pm.
Bus is RM10 per person (kids RM5).
So best to arrive in Melaka early, check in and have lunch, and then take the bus...

The runsite is not shaded and Melaka is HOT, so bring umbrella / hats / etc. to stay cool before run.
The run itself is mostly under tree cover.
If coming from downtown Melaka (Hash House Hotel) :
Simplest option is to hop on the bus that the hares are organising.

On-On: Malacca Club (Tanjung Kling)
This is a beach-side club, and excellent local food will be served (along with beer, of course!) as the sun sets over the Straits of Melaka (really - that's one of the reasons why we have to start the run at 3:30pm, or we'll miss the sunset...)
On-On GPS Coordinates: N2 13.080 E102 09.871

2. At 2.0km, turn LEFT at T-junction.
3. Continue straight on Hwy 5, keeping left at all intersections.
4. At 11.3km - turn RIGHT, signed "Tanjung Kling", with Mosque on corner. There's a white sign for "Malacca Club" on the right side but you can only see it while making turn.
