Blowing

A strong southwesterly was a great help as we headed towards Redcliffe on the longest bridge in Australia - and a real pain as we struggled south again from the wind-swept and deserted fishing platform. The only fish to be seen were of the blue blubber jelly variety, and there were hordes of these, cleverly disguising themselves as discarded plastic bags....

The run/walk then took us south along the foreshore towards Sandgate, between some very impressive real estate and a rather chilly sea. Here's a map of the walk, courtesy of Superhacker's iPhone:




Shockjock was awarded a down, down for marking the run in invisible chalk - while Miss Demeanour made up for his sins with a very tasty Moroccan meal. The hares rescued very few leftovers....Thanks to them all (and a special mention for Fleabite, who provided some delish home-made marshmallows)!

There was more blowing when Urass produced his private breathalyser, and we all had a go. According to this highly reliable instrument we were all perfectly legal by the time we drove off - "Don't bother, offisher- I've tested myshelf and I'm fine...."

Another University Challenge next Sunday. Your first daunting task is to remember to bring your GoCard so you can board the fairy (sorry, ferry)....

Next run details
When: Sunday October 9th, 4 pm
Where: UQ CityCat ferry terminal (near the UQ Tennis Centre, but on the river - surprise, surprise). Bring your GoCard (but there will also be a non-ferry trail for dogs and latecomers....)
Hares: Superhacker and Hopalong

On, on!
