A huge collective sigh of relief (muffled by our face masks, of course) rose across SE Queensland on Sunday with the news that the lockdown would be ending as promised at 4 pm. The news came too late for us to respond as a Hash...and came with the further news that we are once more back to hashing in 10s, as we were a year ago....So our response will once more have to be the rigmarole of sign-up sheets and BYO - although some individuals have volunteered to cater for small groups. Watch your emails for details!
After 4 pm on Sunday there was technically no need for household hashing, but it is good for families to spend time together, and good for us all to keep in touch with our inner child:
George took off on his own, too embarrassed to watch any more:
At Mount Nebo, Snappy went for a walk accompanied by her own shadow:
...and took some beautifully scenic shots:
Here's Banger's route in Dayboro - which took in the scenic Dayboro bakery:
And in Wilston, Upstanding, Idle Vice and Gunter went for a walk...
and discovered the following scenic view:
Here are some hashers in the bustling heart of Samford - come to think of it, not too far from a number of scenic bakeries and bars...
Thanks to all who supplied these images!
Any who observe the Samford Hash runners hobbling in each week must have been struck by the contrast with Eliud Kipchoge's style as he made it home on Sunday morning in Tokyo. Culture's theory is that in the life to come we'll all be able to run like that....
And finally, Haughty is taking part in Fred's Big Run again this year. He's on track to reach his target of running 100 km during the month of August, but he'll raise the target depending on donations. So if you'd like to make him suffer, you know what to do....
Next run/walk details
When: Sunday 15th August, 4 pm
Where: Groups of 10 people each at specific locations, as arranged by sign-up sheets. Look to your emails. And remember your masks.
Hares: M. Promptu, or as arranged.
On, on!
