Uncouth mount Mount Coot-tha II

Every man and his dog (and his bike too) was on the slopes of Mt. Coot-tha this last Sunday.  So we had to start with some creative parking - fitting 5 cars into the spaces reserved for 3.  The bush was green after rain, the tracks were clear, and the weather was beautiful - no wonder everyone was out and about!

We last approached these slopes from the northerly direction.  This time it was from the west, where there's a fine network of tracks. Thanks to our hares for a very pleasant jaunt along a well-marked trail and for a tasty meal!

Feeding frenzy

Hopalong noticed some interesting formations (find the UFO):

Darcy helped clean up:

It was good to see Topless, B-Flat and Malpractice again.  The latter two are returning to the UK shortly, but seemed to be formulating plans for a Samford Hash run through Cambridge later this year.  Sounds interesting....

Next run details
When: Sunday 17th February, 5 pm
Where: End of Woodview St, Samford
Hares: Culture and Haughty

On, on!

Flexing

Our fully flexible hares had not only to postpone their run for a week, but also to completely alter the route: the tracks through the Raven Street and Chermside Hills reserves were still closed. Luckily they did manage to find a hill or two amongst the surrounding streets....

It's never too late to celebrate Australia, so they served up the traditional menu on the Aussie flag tablecloth -

Starters: Vegemite semmidges
Mains: Meadpoys and termarder sauce; snegs and selid
Dessert: Lemming tins

We also rent the evening calm with our upraised voices as we tackled some patriotic anthems:



Then competitive spirits took part in an Aussie trivia quiz and some tricky thong tossing - congrats to Nipliquor on his throwing!

Next week we welcome back Malpractice and B-Flat.  It will be good to see them again, and we trust that he has been warming up his vocal cords for some of his memorable ditties.

Next run details
When: Sunday 10th February, 5 pm
Where: Corner Highwood Road and Dillon Road, The Gap (you might have to park along the road a bit)
Hares: Superhacker, Hopalong, Malpractice and B-Flat

On, on!
