Down (down) by the riverside

It was another blisteringly hot, very sunny day, but 25 cool and shady characters turned up for a reasonably shady excursion along the South Pine...continuing the exploration of the area we began on Australia Day.

Back home at the park - dehydrated and exhausted - we almost ran out of beer and definitely ran out of food. Down, downs are to follow

Thanks to Mile High for the photography:

Next Sunday marks our 24th Anniversary and we'll be celebrating at Charcoal and Strine's! For those who'd like to make a special contribution to Hash Cash, this is a "Musical Instruments" Anniversary. I'm sure we've got an unwanted vuvuzela somewhere....

Finally, while Leave Pass is safely away overseas, here are a few Yorkshire stories, courtesy of Charcoal and Strine:

The police have just released details of a new drug craze that is being carried out in Yorkshire nightclubs. Apparently club goers have started injecting Ecstasy just above their front teeth. Police say the dangerous practice is called "e by gum."

A Yorkshireman takes his cat to the vet.
Yorkshireman: "Ayup, lad, I need to talk to thee about me cat."
Vet: "Is it a tom ?"
Yorkshireman: "Nay, I've browt it with uz."

A Yorkshireman's dog dies and he decides to have a gold statue made by a jeweller to remember the dog by.
Yorkshireman: "Can tha mek us a gold statue of yon dog ?"
Jeweller: "Do you want it 18 carat ?"
Yorkshireman: "No, I want it chewin' a bone yer daft bugger !"

A bloke from Barnsley with piles asks the chemist "Nah then lad, does tha sell arse cream ?"
