That "C" word again....

Samford hashers continue to test positive - there were three more cases reported this week! Presumably we'll all have had Covid-19 in time...and fortunately so far no-one has had any very bad symptoms.

This last Sunday saw a return to a trad hash format, courtesy of hares Mile High and Hugandkiss. They set an enjoyable chalk and flour trail with lots of mud and a slightly challenging creek crossing. And they followed it up with two hearty soups, AND dessert as well! Many thanks, hares!

Some of Saucy Sous' shots of the walk, featuring mud (and a bird)....



Gathering on the deck (minus muddy shoes):



Fiji has been in the news in the last couple of days. Here are a couple of shots from Interhash four years ago - when Le W*nk and Footsie both scored selfies with the President. Ah, memories....


We've received some news from our hash caravaners. They've been celebrating Charcoal's 81st birthday at Lara Wetlands:

(You'll find a reminder of his 70th birthday hash bash here! Doesn't it seem just like yesterday?)

The travelers have also been doing some camp oven cookery, taking the waters, and marveling at some marvelous Lara Wetlands skies:

When: Sunday 5th June at 4 pm

Where: Teralba Park (near the Scout Hut on Pullen Road). A map!

Rain, rain, p**s off!

A fine group of waterproof hashers gathered last Sunday at our home ground - John Scott Park - and headed out under threatening clouds. (Fortunately the rain held off for once - very unusual at the moment!) Here are some shots of the occasion:

Will he, won't he? Shockjock prepares to test out his injury by going for a run:

Essential equipment - an umbrella:

And a good feed at the Samford pub:


Thanks to Idle Vice for the pics, and to Le W*nk for the run report!

There's been a bit of news from our travelling contingent in the Western Regions. The following notes and pictures come courtesy of Strine.

Possum Park near Miles offers some unusual accommodation - in former underground ammo magazines (30 of them), in train carriages, and in a converted Viscount plane (bet you never knew that Viscount cockpits featured chandeliers, did you?)





The Neil Turner Weir near Mitchell is constructed as a fish staircase:
