Happy birthdays...

Three birthdays to celebrate this week!

Firstly, Tatty and Squelch welcomed a brother for Dynamite and Hot Stuff, just before Sunday's hash. Congratulations to mum, dad, brothers and grandparents!

Secondly, we raised our voices in song at the hash to mark Superhacker's birthday. We do hope that in her next year she gets to spend more time out and about than she did in this last one! She used her fingers to extinguish the candles on her cake in a totally Covid-safe way:

Thirdly, Escargot's mum Ivy - who has joined us on a number of hashes in the past - recently commemorated her 90th birthday in the UK. Congratulations to her!

Our hospitable hares had set us an interesting run and walk past some really classy real estate and along the banks of Enoggera Creek. Points of interest along the way were provided by the properties of some rather eccentric neighbours....And a sumptuous feast followed. Many thanks to Upstanding and Idle Vice!

The Dump Mistress from Mt Nebo had rescued some genuine anthropological artefacts from the tip and presented these to SPADEwerx for use in a future production. Our hares modeled them with a great deal of flair:

A number of hashers are away in their caravans on a gentle SE Queensland odyssey. Here are a few shots from the travelers, featuring:

A Camino hill?

A number of Samford hashers have walked the Camino de Santiago - some of them more than once. And lots of people use the inclines around Wahminda to train for the pilgrimage. So when hare Underpass announced that Sunday's trail included a "Camino hill" the walkers knew what to expect. In the event we enjoyed a very pleasant walk and run in beautiful weather conditions. And we followed it up with yet another visit to the Ferny Grove Bowls Club:

...where Kermit's meal included blue rice!

Many thanks to our hares!

Of course this was a long weekend within the school holidays, and a number of us were away, doing the sorts of things that Samford hashers do. In the area around Rainbow Beach Shaggy and Cadbury were doing some walking

and also some fishing

Meanwhile in St George, the fish were fighting back:

Only one or two things shattered the tranquility of this peaceful western town (and Lax was not one of them):

Upstanding and Idle Vice packed two holidays into the last couple of weeks - a kombi road trip to Woodgate:

...and then a 5 star trip to crocodile-infested Palm Cove. (Not sure if they took these shots, or just copied them off a brochure)

Thanks to Mile High for these fashion shots showing what the well-dressed traveler on the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail is wearing these days:

And thanks to Superhacker for this snippet capturing an altercation between members of the Pink Team last weekend:
