Shiily? Shally? Shilly? - Nah, Shally!

As it turned out, the Brisbane lockdown ended on Saturday evening and wasn't re-imposed, but by that time our hares were thoroughly spooked at the idea of having to consume all that slow-cooked food by themselves....So we (finally) opted to err on the side of caution, postpone the Grand Renovation Tour, and commemorate 2020 by acting as if we were still locked down. All, that is, except for Bigtop and Co., who don't read emails and turned up for a private viewing before enjoying the views over Sandgate Pier:

So where did others go on Household Hashing expeditions?

Shaggy and Cadbury took some great shots at Bunyaville, which is looking uncharacteristically green and lush:





Payback, Cash Converta and Footsie were at Albany Creek with a frightening animal:



Redbreast and Jamesbondage were at Wightman Reserve: 



...while Le W*nk, Lax and Prattle undertook a 7 km route along the seaside:


And Escargot and Snappy took the opportunity to recce next Sunday's trail:



Meanwhile, here is the route undertaken by Superhacker and Leave Pass:

The reason it looks as it does is best explained in her own words:

"The much reduced Mitchelton chapter of SH3 (Superhacker and Leave Pass) took a stroll out through Teralba Park. 

They made a late start because Superhacker's phone GPS was set to bike (chiz chiz), and kept asking her to drive along the Kedron Brook bikeway. 

When the walk was over, it was time to find Superhacker's car. They practiced bickering like an old married couple whilst Superhacker tried to remember the name of the street she parked her car and Leavepass just drove madly around Everton Park doing handbrake turns and doughnuts and reliving his youth on the mean streets of Burmantofts, Leeds.

Anyway, needless to say, Superhacker got a DownDown at the OnOn in a shelter near the Scout hut that she has managed to navigate to many times. 

Attached is their route - walking in pale blue, getting lost in dark blue. I think you'll agree it is rather Dali-esque (Square headed woman with flyaway headscarf)."

At this stage case numbers are looking good and we're all set to head up the mountain next Sunday. Our hares stress that the OnOn will be outdoors, so come prepared to wrap up well. Bring a chair. And also bring a torch - darkness can fall quickly in the bush!

Next run/walk details

When: Sunday 11th July, 4 pm - a Bastille Day run!

Where: Entrance to Tomsgate Way - Darcy Kelly Road, Mt Nebo. (Near the start of Darcy Kelly Road - a map!)

Hares: Snappy, Escargot and Co.

Remember - bring warm things, a torch, a chair!

On, on!
