The first run of summer


proved a real challenge.  Our hare Shockjock decided to demonstrate his housework skills at the last moment, which delayed the start a bit. Then there was the odd hill on the trail - funny, that, for Bunya - and it had been a scorcher of a day.  All this meant that the SCBs among the walkers took an hour and a half to do their version of the circuit, while it was dark before the serious walkers arrived home....

No one complained, but.  The trail was a varied and interesting one, with the odd downhill segment thrown in (you may not remember any downhills, but there were some.)  It included some good old-fashioned bush bashing: there was barbed wire to climb through and lantana to beat down - and there were ticks to fight off, and landowners to avoid.  Heimie was so daunted he headed off for home on his own...and Cash Converta ended up in hospital with a tick bite reaction.  All in all, it was a run that will linger in our memories, at least until the world ends on December 21st.

Great pies and peas too, hares!  And we really liked the homebrewed Pale Ale - we're looking forward to lots more on Friday night!

So it's:


Next run details
When: Sunday 9th December, 5 pm
Where: Leave Pass's hacienda on the Upper Kedron pampas

On, on!
