The backwoods of Bardon

It was a wet day, but the rain gods kindly held off for long enough to let Gastrick set the run/walk and for us to be drenched only in sweat. We completed a very enjoyable circuit through the burbs and bush around Bardon and over the lower slopes of the Taylor Range. Chili, salad and birthday cake followed. Many thanks to our 2 (and a half) hares!

We welcomed LAC from Jakarta - and he in return invited us to Jakarta's 2500th run at the end of January. We'll see how we go once we get back from India.

Visitor LAC, in Brisbane for a week or two:

Shockjock had brought along some of his version of Holgate's Road Trip Pale Ale - and it was very difficult to tell it from the original! He celebrated his hashy birthday a little later in the traditional way....

And Le W*nk, murmuring "Soft...soft..." found Escargot's hair irrisitible....

Next week a number of us will be in Delhi (we hope) while Le W*nk and Amazing will be trying to find something to do to pass the time in a hotel room in Port Moresby (hope they remember the Scrabble board.) There'll be a M. Promptu/Potluck run for the stayathomes.

Next run details
When: Sunday 15th November, 5 pm
Where: John Scott Park, Samford Village
Hares: M. Promptu will set the run; Potluck will cater (please bring something to share.)

On, on!

St Lucia saunter

Kiwis were celebrating this weekend...their netball team, the Silver Ferns, had made it to second place in the Constellation Cup competition! Le W*nk must have celebrated the netball result so hard that he didn't make it to this Sunday's run. Here are 2 Kiwis (and honorary Kiwi Nipple Kamikaze) who had recovered sufficiently to come and skite (about the netball, of course):

(There was some talk of a rugby game this weekend as well, but I didn't get the details.)

No dogs turned up this week, even though Superhacker and Hopalong had laid a trail especially for them! Our thoughtful hares had also arranged some beautiful flowering jacarandas for walkers to pose under:

Back at the park after an excursion (for the runners) over Highgate Hill and (for the walkers) around the UQ campus, we tucked into some rib-filling chili and shepherd's pie. Many thanks to our hares for a very scenic and enjoyable outing!

It was good to welcome Nipple Kamikaze, a wandering hasher who spends half the year in NZ and half in Japan. He assured us that everything you may have heard about the life of a ski instructor is absolutely true....

Next run details
When: Sunday 8th November, 5 pm
Where: Miss Fit and Gastrick's Bardon manor
Hares: Gastrick and Miss Fit

On, on!
