Moon in the water

After a pleasant rural stroll past the paddocks of the Day's Road area we adjourned to the luxury of Mile High and Hugandkiss' poolside retreat. A full moon rose over the shoulder of the hill and was reflected in the water.

Zen poet Dogen, reflecting on such a reflection, noted that "the moon does not get wet, nor is the water broken." We put such profundities to one side (not being poetical) and concentrated on getting ourselves wet - internally at least....








Here's another watery scene from last week's excursion (thanks to Superhacker for this one):


It's a Potluck/M Promptu affair next Sunday.

And please note that we will move to a 4 pm start time from Sunday 2nd April!

Next run details
When: Sunday 19th March, 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!

The Deep South

Was this the furthest south that Samford Hash had ever ventured? Apart from weekend excursions to places like Tenterfield and Ballandean, it probably was. And even though we were only just over the other side of the river there's something about the Deep South that feels - somehow - different....

Congratulations to Superhacker and Hopalong for tempting a number of members so far out of their comfort zones! (Of course, it was just around the corner for Gastrick, Tinkerbell and Hook.) Those who made it were rewarded with some peaceful big river scenery flanking some interesting and incongruous industrial development. The walk/run through some totally unfamiliar territory was followed by a very tasty moussaka and a classy salad. Many thanks, hares!



Le W*nk, of course, had to outdo everybody by travelling even further south for a hash run. Here he is in the midst of the Dunedin Hash House Harriers - who awarded him a visitor's down, down and resisted the temptation to push him over the edge of the deck.


Next run details
When: Sunday 12th March, 5 pm
Where: Undambi Rotary Reserve, corner Mt. O'Reilly Road and Greggs Road, Samford. A map!
Hares: Culture and Haughty

On, on!
