Flying high along the Brook

A last-minute venue change due to the weather saw us back at one of our favourite places this Sunday - Teralba Park (or as Auto-correct put it in Culture's text reminder to the group, "Feral Animal Park"). Both runners and walkers headed out along the rather damp Kedron Brook bikeway - and we didn't actually encounter any rain until we got back home. Any markings would have been washed out, so Lax led the walkers while Le W*nk as a live hare marked the trail for the runners with plentiful quantities of horse manure.

We were paid a flying visit (literally) by someone who has joined us over the years whenever her work brings her into Brisbane. As Hugandkiss reminded us, it was high time that she was accorded a Hash moniker, and after some deliberation we decided to call her "High Flyer". The naming ceremony was carried out in the normal dignified manner...and our Grandmaster Payback also celebrated his birthday with a down, down:

Remember the movie?

 

 

Here are some of Cash Converta and Snappy's pics from the occasion.

Tasty and tasteless

 [This week's run report comes to you courtesy of our honourable Grandmaster Payback. Many thanks to him!]

"Le Wank promised us a flat Ironbark trail last Sunday. After he came back from marking the route totally exhausted, we knew we were in for a hard time. Despite the steep hills and many check-backs, we survived. Good on Miss Demeanour for completing the runners trail and having a quick snog with Shockjock under the mistletoe. We hope this was not too alarming for the local wildlife. It was good to see Dumbbell again after his operation. He was a bit wobbly on his feet, but was ably assisted by his carers Saucy Sous and 'V'.

An abundance of tasty food followed which showcased the talents of our cooks. During the circle, a few jokes were narrated, which ranged from tasteless to really funny.

Goodbye to Spielberg and family, who headed back to Japan on Monday. We hoped to enjoy your company one last time (well most of us did), but the call of the Kings Beach surf was too strong for you."

There were heaps of pics of the event taken by Snappy, Cash Converta and Saucy Sous. Thanks to all of them! Here's a selection:
