Winter seems to have set in early this year, but conditions were very pleasant at St Lucia this Sunday. Remember the storm that sent us scurrying for shelter on our last visit to the campus?
The walkers toured both the sandstone heart of the university and the far-flung facilities beyond. Some of the younger ones finished off with a ferry ride back to base. Meanwhile the runners headed off across the Eleanor Schonell Bridge for a scenic saunter through the back blocks of Hill End - and also took a ferry home. Thanks to our Superhacking and Hopalonging hares!
Given the location, some conversations naturally turned to education, and - strange coincidence! - it turned out that In Your Dreams and Haughty were both alumni of the University of Notre Dame du Lac in South Bend, Indiana. Moreover, they had both spent a year of high school as exchange students in small towns in Minnesota! A challenge: can you pick out a beardless Haughty from the rest of his Minnesotan high school cross country team?
We have some Nationalistic runs coming up - a 4th of July one, and a Bastille Day one - plus a Christmas in July celebration! Oh, and Le W*nk has promised that next week's run will not involve any paddling in the pristine waters of Kedron Brook. It might be wise to bring some old shoes though - just in case....
Next run details
When: Sunday 26th May, 4 pm
Where: Le W*nk's mansion in Mitchelton
Hare: Le W*nk
(If you need directions to this run, please email or call us)
On, on!
