Another watery sunset - and lots more....

We've lots to report on this week.

Firstly, Haughty celebrated his birthday with a gentle run/walk around the shores of Lake Samsonvale. The venue was as beautifully scenic as it usually is - and, courtesy of Payback, here is the obligatory beautifully scenic shot of sunset over the water.

Here are some rather less beautifully scenic shots of hashers doing their thing and ignoring the sunset...



It was great to see travelers Gastrick, Miss Fit and son back in town after a rather torrid flight from the UK. Nunu was obviously pleased to have them back as well....

Escargot completed her 25km fundraising walk on Saturday in a very creditable time of 4 hr 47 min (including a 20 minute break). Well done - and thanks to those who supported her!

Our interstate caravanners Charcoal, Strine and Eweshggr are somewhere in the Never Never, having made their way across NSW and SA. Their cars and caravans are performing well and they have found some very good free camp sites.

Here are some of their pics, and I hope I get the captions right.
