Uncouth mount Mt Cootha III...



...It's such a great title - why mess with perfection. 

There was a delayed start to the run/walk whilst ShockJock coaxed Misdemeanor  out from under the bed (or that's their story anyway).  Storms and lightening were forecast for the Mt Cootha region and this news had brought on a certain amount of reluctance in the Shock-Meanor household.  Then they remembered they had to put on a brave and united front for Chinwag's and ShockJock's Birthdays. Happy Birthday you good things. Chinwag, your sister stole your thunder by starring in the only photo of the occaision. Nice work Fleabite.




Less deterred by the alarming weather forecast was LeW*nk who chose the highest and most pointy point in the area to set the run. Which was, as we've come to expect from Mt Cootha, down down down and then, up up up. Milehigh had some choice words to describe this.

LeW*nk soon stopped being affronted about how severely the dogs had been kept waiting, and issued a saftey warning regarding the use of mobile phones in a storm for the benefit of ShockJock. 

Four runnners and more than ten walkers (ably led by HardCore) then took to the trails around Honeaters.

A self-proclaimed awesome, and fantastic and yet undescribable meal [since I was not there .. superhacker] was served, followed by ice cream overlooking Brisbane by night, which completely wrote off the Finer Finishers entertainment budget for the rest of the year, .and further birthday celebrations for  HugandKiss. 

Thanks for a great run/walk and on on

Next run details
When: Sunday 17th November, 5 pm

Where: In the vicinity of MissDemeanor and ShockJock's Bunya Humpy - Email us for details of how to get to the run


Hares: Miss Demeanour and Shockjock

On, on!

Under the Tuscan Sun (well almost)

Obviously sending Bigtop and Hardcore on a field trip to Tuscany was a good investment. They have come back with a new range of gourmet dishes to add to their repertoire including
Creamy Tuscan white bean pasta - to die for.

They set a great run/walk through the streets of Stafford Heights/Kedron/Lutwcyhe including some interesting challenges like picking our way through a netball match, and between the headstones of  the (less active) folk of the Lutwyche cemetery. There are a number of war graves there (almost 400) and it is the final resting place of Bertram Steele foundation chair of Chemistry at UQ, after whom the Steele building is named, and who is famed for early work in the control of prickly pear in Queensland.

At the OnOn. Fleabite celebrated her 11th birthday.




Thanks hares!!!

Some of the B'ashers (MisDemeanor, ShockJock. Amazing, Superhacker, Fleabite, Chinwag, Hopalong and Nipliquor) had been out testing her new bike the day before, and Superhacker insisted on sharing her Big Data...put it away Superhacker




We welcomed Payback and Cashconverta back from their travels -  they came loaded with gifts including Hopalong's favourite vimto bars all the way from the UK.

Le W*nk couldn't make it as he has become Chanel 7's latest Heart Throb after his appearance on the Great South East  and he was pinned to the ground by eager fans. He thinks he will be able to wrestle free in time to set the run for next week which is

Where: Entrance to Honey Eater Track Just past the Lookout Mt Cootha
When: Sunday 10th November 5pm
Hare: LeW*nk - look for the distinctive van - if it's rocking don't come knocking.
