"Aweary, aweary...."

 Millions around the world are beginning to feel (to quote Mariana in her moated lockdown) "aweary, aweary" about Covid restrictions - and a bit peeved at those who don't follow them, and hence cause more stringent ones to be reimposed. Certainly hashing in tens is better than nothing. It's better than hashing in sixes - which is what we'd have to do if we were in the UK right now. But it will be very good to get back to where we were a month ago....

In the meantime we'll be trialing the "pub run" format this coming Sunday, making use of someone else's Covid-Safe status. Please note the details below - we'll be meeting at the Ferny Grove Railway Station and adjourning after the run/walk to the Ferny Grove Bowls Club.

Fathers' Day 2020 was a subdued affair, with the presentation of the "Tight Jocks Award" postponed, and two groups of ten meeting at Undambi and The Gap.

Walkers at The Gap met a brown tree snake on the track, but were too slow to capture an image. Here are some shots from this location:

The group that met at Undambi passed a couple of backyard observatories:

And a rather splendid treehouse under construction:

Before indulging in some adult and socially distanced play:

Next run details

When: Sunday 13th September, 4 pm

Where: Meet at the Ferny Grove Railway Station - near the platform entrance. The trail will start from here. Afterwards we will drive around the corner to the Ferny Grove Bowls Club. The booking at the restaurant has been made for 5.30 pm - and for those who have responded to previous emails.

Hare: Jamesbondage will set the walk. The runners will add a loop or two.

On, on!

9 + 10 + 4k9s

 A number of hashers were away this last Sunday, which meant that we only had to form ourselves into two groups of ten or less (I have a feeling that many of us are getting sick of this - but it's probably better than getting sick of Covid-19).

The group that met at Teralba Park took themselves up and down Kedron Brook, and (slackos) failed to take any pictures of the occasion.

The group that met at the Samford soccer club enjoyed a scenic stroll along what they called the "Lakes route". Here are some shots, courtesy of Mile High:

Lax took this picture of her view for the weekend:

And Miss Demeanour spent 8 hours on Sunday completing her fundraising Bloody Long Walk. Congratulations!

Finally (once again courtesy of Mile High) here are some images of the baffling engineering structures that the runners encountered on our 16th August run. Wonder how long it will be before they get swallowed up by lantana again?
