"Give a dog a bone"

Legend has it that in the olde days snags and bread made up the standard Samford Hash diet and that every second run was from John Scott Park. Our hares this last Sunday brought us back to our roots on both counts. They took us on a trail that we haven't run for quite a long while, and they served up the traditional fare - minus the charcoal, and supplemented with cheesy starters, a classy salad, chocolate brownies, and yet more chocolate. Many thanks to Payback and Cash Converta!

It was good to catch up with old friends Groundsheet, Corn Cob and Little Squirt, and to welcome back Hornblower, whom we haven't seen on the trail for a while.

Dog-whisperer Shockjock had been having a yarn with his canine mates, and put forward their suggestion that we should add bones to the regular Hash menu. It's fair to say that this idea stirred up a bit of controversy. It was referred to a sub-committee of dog owners (to be known as the "Knick Knack Paddy Whack" committee....)

And - thanks to Hugandkiss, who distributed Chinese good-luck charms to everyone present - we can expect to have several Lotto winners amongst us over the next few weeks. Let's hope they're all as generous as she is!

It's an urban run next Sunday.
