Triumph and tragedy (and a very pleasant Dayboro jaunt)

We tend to avoid controversial subjects at Hash (really?), so no-one mentioned the first Ashes test ("just not cricket"). But who could avoid the topic of France's defeat of the Wallabies? Especially when it's so easy to make Budgie sulk?

Dayboro and the surrounding hills were once again very green and scenic this Sunday, an early morning storm having washed the air clean and clear. The walkers took on a circuit through the Showgrounds and beyond, while the runners enjoyed a new route Banger had found, short-cutting across a paddock en route for the hill country. We headed back to the hares' to feast on copious quantities of chili and cake. Many thanks to Banger and Make an Offer, our hospitable hares!

Here are some pics from the occasion, courtesy of Saucy Sous, Cash Converta and Snappy:

As usual at this time of year, there are a lot of Big Events coming up:

• the Red Dress Run on December 1st; we're once again expecting a sizable Samford Hash contingent, most of whom will be catching the 5.02 train from Ferny Grove;
• our Hash Christmas Party at Lax and Le W*nk's on the 6th; the theme is "Over the Top!"; and
• (looking forward a bit) the Dayboro Beer Mile on Australia Day; it sounds as though B&W will be joining the usual runners for this occasion, and we'll all have to put in some beer-drinking practice before then....

Next run/walk details
When: Sunday 30th November, 5 pm.
Where: Saucy Sous and Dumbbell's Highvale hacienda
Hares: Dumbbell and Saucy Sous

On, on!
