Lots of people wear their wobbly boots on ANZAC day, and feel the effects the day after. But Samford hashers are a sober lot, practising moderation in all things (ahem!) and we turned up at the Gaythorne RSL bright-eyed, fresh-faced, and raring to go.
Rain had not obliterated the trail markings, and held off for the rest of the day...in fact, we even enjoyed a bit of late-afternoon sunshine. Our route took us through the former ACU campus and along the Kedron Brook bikeway. This, though busy, was not as busy as it is on a Saturday morning, when 600 parkrunners crowd the path. The walkers' trail turned round at a noteworthy stand of bromeliads, which afforded a "teachable moment" (to quote Idle Vice) for the less botanically-knowledgeable. The runners went on to the parkrun turnaround point.
Our meals back in the club were made even more enjoyable by the fact that the kitchen seemed to have forgotten Le Wank's, and the drink and the conversation flowed freely.
