Turning the corner

Once again we are past the winter solstice and the lengthening days should both reduce the chance of hashers becoming benighted and improve the quality of light for photos...a win, win for those who don't mind a bit of heat. But we enjoyed a perfect winter's day this last Sunday for a exploration of the area around the old Samford-Dayboro rail line. The walkers had the choice of a couple of circuits after reaching the Yugar rail tunnel, but both routes went up and down a bit. The runners added a little hill climb to continue their preparation for the terrain around Queenstown - and they will definitely need a lot of preparation!

In Snappy's absence, these pics of the walk come from a number of cameras:






And someone caught the moment some of the runners returned:

We drove into the heart of Samford to replenish our precious bodily fluids and stuff ourselves with lasagna and crumble:

Elsewhere in the world, Eweshggr and Flaps Down have made it to the tip of Cape York! The sign says "You are standing at the northernmost point of the Australian continent". And knowing Eweshggr, I'm sure he would have gone on for the next 3 metres beyond the sign and got his feet wet....

Next week will see a virgin hare take up the challenge!
