Lovers' Walk on a lovely afternoon

Conditions were perfect this last Sunday for a seaside saunter out along the pier (to reach - surprise, surprise! - an On Back at the end) and then a waterside wander along Lovers' Walk. Snappy was in her element, taking beautiful views of the surroundings and some even more beautiful views of Samford Hashers - the original Beautiful People. Here are some of her shots from the walk - and look out for Gunther, making his contribution to the scenery, and then his contribution to the greenery.













Runners and walkers both looped back through the very spic and span Shorncliffe houses, and the runners also took in the prawn trawlers and million-dollar boats along the inlet.

Back at the park we replenished our precious bodily fluids and tucked in to some luscious fare. Many, many thanks to our hares! And to the Beermeisters and Winos as well!





As the moon rose over the water we held a traditional naming ceremony for someone who has been coming along, on and off, for quite a while now. Congratulations to Racy on her new moniker!

Finally - it turns out that we didn't get the full story of what happened on last weekend's camping trip. In particular, we missed the bit about a group of hashers being turfed out of the pub for bad behaviour...doesn't this seem hard to believe? And, as promised last week, here are a few more pics from a very enjoyable weekend:

Home and away (yet again)

A whole bunch of folks spent last weekend away at Noosa Habitat, and had a great time! Here are some quotes from Payback's essay entitled "What we did on our holiday":

Upstanding lost his van awning after leaving the highway. He heard a bang but thought nothing of it. Some time later, Shockjock came across it lying beside the road and loaded it into his car. When he and Miss Demeanour arrived at the Habitat, he mentioned his great find. Upstanding piped up: ‘Hey that’s my awning’. [Do we believe him?]

- The weather was bad on the Friday. Shockjock had to tie his tent to a tree, so it wouldn’t blow away.

- Le Wank and Lax stayed in the glamping tents as they did not want to mix with the peasants. [Quite understandable.]

- At Pomona the group visited the markets and had lunch at the gin distillery. Fizzer came up for the day but wasn't allowed to sit next to Le Wank at the distillery because of what happened at one Christmas party. [Banger also has to bear some of the blame for what happened on that occasion.]

- Most people did some kayaking. Footsie was reluctant, as she had never done it before. She seemed concerned about drowning in the knee deep water or being attacked by ferocious bull sharks. In the end she couldn’t be kept out of the water.

- The major drama on this trip was that Snappy couldn’t find her bottle of champagne - she was distraught!"

Here are a few mementos from the weekend. I'm sure more will follow in future weeks.










The small group of seven Stayathomes enjoyed a scamper around Samford Village and some BYO drinks and eats. Fortunately some people at the next door picnic table had a bottle opener they were willing to lend....

We occasionally feature hash injuries in these posts, and back in 2019 we featured some links to a number of them (check them out here). This week we have a couple of pics to add to the files and gross you out - courtesy of Floater's close encounter with Mother Earth on the Bunyaville Parkrun. Ow, indeed. At least she didn't get blood on her Hash shirt.
