New territory

We encountered new territory in Uppity Kedron last Sunday. Leave Pass led us along a new path which started at the site of the old bridge and meandered around the countryside. Eventually, it led to the Bellbird Grove picnic area where Le W*nk did an impressive two laps of the Turrbal circuit.

Afterwards, Leave Pass directed us to an open field where he set up his newly purchased Bunnings fold up table. The food was new territory too (roast vegies, chicken…), not a lasagne in sight.

Disturbed ducks

Last Sunday a large contingent of Samford Hashers descended on a pleasant lake side setting in the Boondall Entertainment Centre complex. The ducks weren’t too happy, especially when George, thinking they were sheep, started to round them up. Perhaps Le Wank should take him to Specsavers.

Our  keeper of ancient legends and local history, Shockjock, led the runners to a little known ancient site. It turned out to be the starting gate for the Brisbane Commonwealth Games BMX track. The runners were gob smacked.

The run proved not long enough for Hardcore who decided to jog home afterwards. She forgot one thing though – her children. Hopefully they made it home safely.

Shockjock and Miss Demeanour provided a sumptuous meal for all palates. It did start to rain during the feeding frenzy which at first did not deter the ravenous bunch. However, when the wind picked up and branches started to fall, stomachs were forgotten and there was a mad dash for the vehicles. Many thanks, hares!

Sunday roast (plus oranges)

The rain had eased and Shaggy and Cadbury took about 30 of us on a very pleasant circuit around the green hills of Upper Kedron. Shaggy did a sterling job in setting the trail while feeling the effects of "something he ate" the night before....And our hares followed up this excursion with a full-on Sunday roast - yum! - and a magnificently rich orange cake. Many thanks!

It was great to welcome some folk who haven't been around for a while, including Urass and Bigtop. Since we last saw her she's had 6 or 7 screws - inserted into her foot, I mean. The surgery went really well and she'll be back on trail soon.

We wished Cadbury a happy birthday in traditional fashion. She's getting really grown-up and mature now, as her behaviour indicates. Wish we could say the same for all our members.

We're meeting somewhere new this coming Sunday. Our hare assures us that he has got the All Clear from the venue management and security and says to quote his name if you get apprehended by the Gestapo - just tell them that Shockjock sent you. Take note of the directions below and remember the mozzie spray!
