The last run of summer...

featured the sorts of ascents and descents we have come to expect from Charcoal's Clear Mountain trails. The runners were also led past some sites that would have been of great interest to an industrial archaeologist. Our untrained eyes were certainly not up to identifying the rusting car wrecks and appliances we passed...nor were we capable of working out how the heck they'd got to where they were.

The bush was beautifully green, with (native) Bursaria spinosa and (non-native) Allamanda cathartica in full flower. A few last stragglers were starting to cause us some concern as darkness fell - it's good we're moving to a 4 pm start!

We welcomed Wizbanger, Hot to Trot, Slammit and Upfront back from Perth and from their sickbeds. Other news is that Leave Pass is planning to complete in a Masters' Weightlifing Comp this year...in the Clean and Jerk? - or should that be Jerk and Clean?

Thanks to the hares for a scenic run/walk and some ribfilling pasta. And thanks to Yshggr for dessert!

Next run details
When: Sunday 10 April, 4pm - note this - 4pm - winter start time - 4pm!

On, on!
