Lake District Tour

Budgie, Miss Behavin' and Nipper set a trail that circled no less than four of the lakes in their local district. Walkers and runners enjoyed some birdwatching along the way, while an infestation of Salvinia molesta provided another talking point. Recent temperatures haven't been good for the Salvinia weevils, but no doubt they'll be chewing their way through the lawn-like mat once the weather warms up. Other interesting features of the route included some architecture to gawp at in wonder, and a broad stretch of the North Pine River to survey. Here are some of Snappy's shots from the walk:










Back at the hares' we tucked into some top tucker, finishing off with ice-cream, strawberries and chocolate sauce. What a great way to replenish lost calories! And many, many thanks to our hares!




Earlier in the week, a number of hashers took delight in knocking Haughty for six with a thoroughly surprising surprise party to commemorate his 70th birthday. For once in his life he was lost for words....A really memorable occasion! He'd like to thank all who were there. Here are a few of Snappy's snaps from the evening:
