Oktoberfest 2015

The statistics speak for themselves: we went through 40 bottles of Bitburger and Löwenbräu (plus other beers), 35 Knödel (dumplings), 6 bottles of “Champers” (plus other wine), 5 kilos of Bratwurst, 2.5 kilos of ordinary snags, litres of Sauerkraut, uncountable pretzels, and then 2 and half Schwälder Kirschtorten. No wonder we all enjoyed ourselves!

The video shot by Charcoal captures some of the flavour of this year's Oktoberfest celebratory run:

And here are some selected shots from Charcoal's camera. 

Mile High tops up his precious bodily fluids before the run:

Back at the hares' - under the vines:







Our hares had done a great job of decorating the venue:

This was also an occasion for celebrating Strine's birthday:


Give a dog a bone? Give a dog a beer!

More, please!

There are more pics to follow - and more from Superhacker's party last week as well. We'll have to have a catch-up post soon.

Next week we'll be celebrating Halloween. Virgin hare Footsie will be assisted by Hash veteran Escargot (who'll have been hashing for 20 years next March - so she's far from being a virgin!) For some reminders of previous Halloween events, click here, and here, and here.

Please note that this will also be our first 5 pm run for the season. REPEAT - 5 pm start time from this Sunday on!

Next run details
When: Sunday 25th October, 5 pm - REPEAT 5 pm!
