Wet and dry

Once again, Payback is the wordsmith responsible for this week's run report - thanks to him! Here is what he had to say:

"It was a drizzly afternoon and not many hashers were expected to turn up. However, surprisingly, 30 hardy souls decided to make an appearance. It goes to show that nothing stops a Samford Hasher when fine food is on the menu. And again, it was fine food – thanks, everyone!

There was a plethora of umbrellas as the walkers set off on the usual trail. The runners didn’t need such protection as they didn’t care if the got their hair/scalps wet. Perhaps they were preparing themselves for the Queenstown weather. Despite the outlook, it ended up a clear and sunny afternoon.

After the meal we had a round of jokes. Some were good and some, like Shock Jock’s dad jokes, were marginal. This area needs improvement!"

And here is a selection of Snappy's shots from the event:

Wise words from a wise man (sorry, person)

This week's post was once again penned by the eloquent Payback:

"Civilisation has caught with the Parksedge Street area, what with a new shopping centre, more housing, new roundabouts and even a two lane bridge across Cedar Creek.

We did the usual trail towards the Bellbird Grove carpark. It was a bit muddy in places, which will result in lots of shoe cleaning in the next few days. Dumbbell decided to do some mud wrestling – not sure if this was part of his exercise regime.

The runners headed toward the old gold mines and as usual were amazed by the amount of work the miners had accomplished with little reward.  As Mahatma Gandhi once said “Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment; full effort is full victory.”

Back at the on, on we were expecting Leave Pass’s famous pizza or Mr Woolworth's lasagne, but he surprised us with some tasty alternatives.

A big welcome to Spanish hasher – Streaky."

Food, glorious food

Our potluck food session on Sunday proved a great success. There was food for every taste and a bit of nostalgia with the bread and butter pudding.
