Brookside and beyond

This last Sunday was the first time Lax had set a trail on her own and she did a great job, taking the walkers out along the Kedron Brook bikeway and back past Brookside. The runners added a couple of extended loops and actually ran through the shopping centre, to the delight (?) of other patrons. And while Lax was marking the trail Le W*nk had donned an apron to put together a really tasty meal featuring (inter alia) cottage pie and salad and olive bread. Many thanks to our hares!

An ancient Hash practice: bums in the air, boys!

Jamesbondage, our Hash jeweler, had been hard at work, and Slamdunk received his Hash name necklace:

Dead End run

Miss Demeanour was struck down by a dreaded lurgy on Sunday, and the Hash was wisely banned from getting anywhere near her. Instead we met at and then returned to a convenient strip of turf at the end of a nearby cul-de-sac. In between was a typically flat and smooth Bunya route up to and around the ridge track, where front-walker Mile High kept catching up with the runners group as they attempted to catch their breath. As Aesop said, slow and steady wins the race...but then, it's not a race, is it?

Gathering at the Dead End of Bunya, and paying attention to the Chalk Talk:

Back home we set up the most circular circle we've had for a while, with the tucker table in the middle. Grandmaster Payback was a notable absentee, and we asked Cash Converta to pass on our best wishes for his rapid recovery. Here are some more pics from Saucy Sous, Snappy and Cash Converta:

A young man who has walked and run with us a number of times received his Hash moniker. Congratulations to Slamdunk!

Many thanks to our solo hare Shockjock!

Watery sunset

We're used to sunrises over water, but sunsets over water are special - even if there's not much water there to reflect the sky. (And there's not much water in Lake Samsonvale at the moment; the shoreline is starting to look very broad again!) Multiple photographers had their phones pointing westward to capture the scene:

It was a beaut afternoon for a stroll or jog along the margins of the lake, and this time no-one got lost....

We gathered back at the park for a typical Potluck bonanza - with a plethora of nibblies, plenty of choice in the mains department, and a chocolate cake and lollies for dessert. Thanks, everyone, for your contributions!

Here are some more pics of the event (shots in this week's post come courtesy of Snappy, Cash Converta, Redbreast and Saucy Sous):
