How fast bulldozers work, just less than two weeks ago we were at this same spot and this jungle was fully intact. The bulldozers moved in sooner than we thought and what would have been our last hash run in this lush green jungle had to be abandoned. The hares had walked in to lay the paper only to be met with a huge open area 10 minutes in. To go in and see the destruction would have been too much and for now I just want to remember Morleys as the jungle I first marked, enjoyed many runs and walks with the Monday walkers, hashers and the children on the kids hash - Happy memories.

It makes me so sad, and it seems the older one gets the more destruction one sees (though some might call it progress). I follow your blog and see the growth and development of your three wonderful children and that gives me hope. I am glad they are into the hash runs already and will experience nature in Brunei as it is now --- and as they get older as we all do, they will remember.
Regards to the whole family, Judy & Fred, Wings, presently in Phuket.
Thanks Judy and Fred
It is very sad to see the destruction but we also know that over 60% of Brunei is protected and while the loss of a lovely part of the Jungle to progress is sad, at least we know that there is much more out there to explore !
Hope you guys are enjoying the down time in Thailand and Malaysia - we're on a countdown to a summer in Ireland which will be a big adventure for all of us - 7 weeks ....... kids will be looking for a hash run there as well so we will have to explore some lovely walks hopefully
Safe Travels
