Why did the chicken?

There's no politics on the hash, but the runners couldn't help encountering some of the wash-up from the weekend election as they ran past the former opposition leader's house. A bored and listless TV crew was staking it out, and for want of better things to do, filmed the boys jogging by. Three of the walkers drove down later to have a butcher's, and were also filmed. At least the crew would have gone home with some footage, but it was perhaps not interesting enough to make the evening news - which is not to say the Samford Hash isn't really, really interesting in general....

Some runners at the critical spot (pics by Banger):

Both walkers and runners tackled typically flaaaat Dayboro routes, with an avian encounter along the way:

Back at the hares' we enjoyed some beaut chili and rice, followed by two types of crumble - yum! Many thanks to Banger and Make an Offer!

110 years later....

It's 110 years since the ANZAC landings but the tradition of celebrating a brave defeat is going strong. What would the original ANZACS have made of the refurbished Gaythorne RSL? It's almost certainly the flashest venue we gather at during the course of a year, and the meals are a far cry from bully beef eaten out of tins while sheltering from sniper fire....

Our hares took the hash out past Brookside and along Kedron Brook, on a scenic route that some were not aware existed. The runners (at least according to Le W*nk) managed to find a lot of steep hills to climb along the way - but perhaps he was just a bit delusional at that point? We returned to take over a whole corner of the restaurant on a busy night, and the offerings were plentiful and tasty, if sometimes a little slow in arriving. Many thanks to our hares Upstanding and Idle Vice for setting the trail and organising the venue!
