"The paths up and down are one and the same"

So said Heraclitus, one of the Fathers of Western philosophy - around 500 BC. The Samford Hash 2011 (AD) Fathers' Day event was a bit more complex. There were 3 alternatives on offer - and one of them didn't go up or down at all!

(Incidentally, Heraclitus also said "A dry soul is wisest and best." What on earth did he mean? We definitely prefer to moisten ours a bit after the run....)

Each year on Fathers' Day the Tight Jocks Award is bestowed on the Father of the Year. This year saw the award going to our first FIFO (Fly-in, fly-out) Dad, Wizbanger - who'd actually had to fly out before the on, on! His eldest son, Slammit, manfully accepted the award on his behalf:



The 2010 Dad of the Year strutted his stuff for the last time:



And cut the BBQ cake before stripping off:
