Leave Pass's Mystery Spice Tour


Tradition dictates that, whenever the Hash meet at the LeavePass Love palace, the skies will open and wash away all the hare's carefully laid trail. And this week was no exception. 

As we honoured another tradition.. (waiting for Shock Jock and Miss-demeanor and family to arrive) Le W*nk distributed umbrellas and LeavePass talked us through the walk/run. His insecurity about the permanence of his markings had finally driven him sacrifice a page from his Refidex on which he had scrawled the route in red, in an attempt to quell the tide of complaints.



Contrary to expectations the trail was well marked with thick blue arrows. It took us through some new territory of Upper Kedron and we got value for money when we were treated to a river crossing. Back at the five bedroom bachelor pad. Leave Pass served a choice of Mother Aldi's Best Lasagne or Home made Rogan Josh. 

Leave Pass and Heimi then had to field questions about what a pair of bachelors did with so many spare bedrooms. Somehow the heady aroma of curry, and the thoughts of polygamous emperors and stately mausoleums transported us to the banks of the Yamuna River in the Indian city of Agra where we were treated to this apparition.



And then brought back to earth by what appears to be a  sample of shameless 10-to-the-bed slap and tickle Hash holiday behaviour. But we could've been misinterpreting it. Remember guys, what goes on tour stays on tour.



Meanwhile back at base camp things were also getting frisky when a seemingly innocent discussion between the runners descended into a depraved evaluation of shock jock's hot nuts.



During the hash circle we welcomed a visitor from Scotland and there were two really quite innocent PG rated jokes the likes of which we haven't heard since father's day 2012

Blessed are the Quiche-Makers

At 5.03pm four Poms lolled around moaning about the weather. Gastrick, LeavePass, Escargot  and Superhacker  having apparently forgotten their roots anxiously scanned the BOM radar and asked themselves if it was worth soaking their Smartphones/New trainers/Dogs for

... Just then the Shock-Demeanors arrived (doubling our numbers) with all manner of excuses about flat tyres and teenage parties ... Two of them were on bikes.  There was a minor leadership tussle between LeavePass and Escargot about whether the fickle hand of fate should take us clockwise or anti clockwise around Samford. Escargot won the majority vote and the walkers headed out of town toward the Samford Parklands Trail 

The feared rain held off and an hour later we found ourselves back at John Scott Park where, as has happened at least once beforepot luck served up a carb-fest. In fact it was a quiche-off. Thankfully:

(1) All the real men were absent this week
(2) MissFit had sent us some Banana Cake for pudding

The backwoods of Bardon

It was a wet day, but the rain gods kindly held off for long enough to let Gastrick set the run/walk and for us to be drenched only in sweat. We completed a very enjoyable circuit through the burbs and bush around Bardon and over the lower slopes of the Taylor Range. Chili, salad and birthday cake followed. Many thanks to our 2 (and a half) hares!

We welcomed LAC from Jakarta - and he in return invited us to Jakarta's 2500th run at the end of January. We'll see how we go once we get back from India.

Visitor LAC, in Brisbane for a week or two:

Shockjock had brought along some of his version of Holgate's Road Trip Pale Ale - and it was very difficult to tell it from the original! He celebrated his hashy birthday a little later in the traditional way....

And Le W*nk, murmuring "Soft...soft..." found Escargot's hair irrisitible....

Next week a number of us will be in Delhi (we hope) while Le W*nk and Amazing will be trying to find something to do to pass the time in a hotel room in Port Moresby (hope they remember the Scrabble board.) There'll be a M. Promptu/Potluck run for the stayathomes.

Next run details
When: Sunday 15th November, 5 pm
Where: John Scott Park, Samford Village
Hares: M. Promptu will set the run; Potluck will cater (please bring something to share.)

On, on!

St Lucia saunter

Kiwis were celebrating this weekend...their netball team, the Silver Ferns, had made it to second place in the Constellation Cup competition! Le W*nk must have celebrated the netball result so hard that he didn't make it to this Sunday's run. Here are 2 Kiwis (and honorary Kiwi Nipple Kamikaze) who had recovered sufficiently to come and skite (about the netball, of course):

(There was some talk of a rugby game this weekend as well, but I didn't get the details.)

No dogs turned up this week, even though Superhacker and Hopalong had laid a trail especially for them! Our thoughtful hares had also arranged some beautiful flowering jacarandas for walkers to pose under:

Back at the park after an excursion (for the runners) over Highgate Hill and (for the walkers) around the UQ campus, we tucked into some rib-filling chili and shepherd's pie. Many thanks to our hares for a very scenic and enjoyable outing!

It was good to welcome Nipple Kamikaze, a wandering hasher who spends half the year in NZ and half in Japan. He assured us that everything you may have heard about the life of a ski instructor is absolutely true....

When: Sunday 8th November, 5 pm
Where: Miss Fit and Gastrick's Bardon manor
Hares: Gastrick and Miss Fit

On, on!
