Live Run Report 23 August 2009

The Finish

Run Number 7 Ironbark Gully Ferny Grove.

We arrived early and saw the live hares, Stubby and Schnapps, off on their way. We then had a steady stream of new visitors along with returnee’s Fukarwe and Runabout. Slight amusement as all the visitors assumed everyone else were members.

Run started sharp at 4.06 ish with a gentle amble up the hill, and a couple of difficult checks to slow down the FRB’s of Boobarella, Fukarwe and Skiddy followed by the long climb up to the Samford road crossing.

The kids, Oils and Spank, were doing well and pushing the front of the pack but we regrouped before crossing the road.

Note for future hares crossing from the outside of the bend affords a great view in both directions, crossing from the inside is close to suicide.

Another small climb and the trail peaked, a few more checks on the down side of the hill into the old rail route. And then a well received flat section leading back to Ferny Grove, along the stream and back under the Samford road and home. On the home trail Pubic Hare, a visitor who had been holding back, made a push for the front and FRB status.

All returned together to be welcomed back by the Hares in an hour 15.

Quick circle with the visitors Pubic hare, Sticky, Boobarella, Runabout, Fuckarwe and the Gibus family of Muka Puli, Oils, Spank and Modestly Blaze out numbering the members so the members were downed to save beer.

Then into a great and varied meal, plenty to eat and far too many cup cakes, I never realised that cup cakes go so well with beer.

A few beer, a sociable group and a fire to keep the chills of a 30deg evening at bay what more could you want.

On oN to next run Skiddy

Next Run No 7 - Sunday August 23 at 4PM

The next run of SHHH.inc will be held at Ironbark Gully Picnic Area. Samford Road Ferny Grove. UBD 117 F 17.

We will be running on the bushland trails in the Brisbane Forest park, with TWO LIVE HARES marking the trail.

This will be our first "Pot Luck" run. This means participants who want to partake of the meal at the On-On must bring a plate of food to share in the communal meal. Visitors should therefore decide before attending if they want to stay for the meal.

There is no charge for the meal on a "pot luck" run as you bring your own food to share.

Visitors please RSVP to samfordhhh@yahoo.com if you would like to attend as a guest.

Hares - Stubby & Schnapps.

Last Run Report - No 6 - Raven St Reserve.

We welcomed several new visitors, and another new member "Topless" this week. Our Hares Whippet and Gerbils, who have twenty years international Hashing experience, set an interesting trail with the proper puzzle elements of many checks and false trails, through the Downfall Creek Reserve, with an extended runners loop into the Chermside Hills.

The Knitting Circle had the runners in stitches when they lost the thread for a while through weaving an intricate patter of conversation, plain chit chat interspersed with pearls of wisdom, instead of watching the trail markings, but soon untangled their woolly thoughts and returned to following the thread of flour again.

Hash philosopher Skidmark, observing the random meanderings of the Knitting Circle from afar, propounded a hypothesis, which shall henceforth be known as:- Skiddy's Hypothesis - The collective intelligence of a pack of Hashers is inversely proportional to the square of the number of legs!
I wonder if he is not guilty of a Hash crime for "harbouring an intellectual thought during a Hash", - if I remember the commandments correctly?

An excellent nosh of roast chicken, green salad, coleslaw and broiled potatoes filled the hungry hoards to the extent of an elephants sufficiency, in the manner to which SHHH.Inc members and visitors are accustomed. Compliments to the Hares.

Mango King.

Next Run No 7 - Sunday August 23 at 4PM

Next run Sunday 23 August at 4PM.

Location Ironbark Gully Picnic Area, Samford Road Ferny Grove UBD 117 F17.

This will be a "pot luck" or mystry nosh run, which means that those wishing to partake of the food at the On On should bring a dish to share in a communal meal.

This will be a live hare run. The hares will set off marking the trail shortly before 4PM and will leave instructions under the winscreen wiper of a car in the car park, together with a run sign in form, which all intending participants must sign before setting off. You may depart in persuit at 4PM sharp.

If you catch the Hares, they are at the mercy of the circle.

Hares Stubby & Schnapps.

Next Run Sunday August 16th - 4 PM

The next run of SHHH.inc will be held at the Raven St Reserve, Rode Rd. Mcdowall or Stafford Hts depending on your map! UBD 119 F 15.

Our experienced Hares are setting their first run for SHHH.Inc, but with lots of previous Hashing experience you can be assured of a good run and a devious trail to keep the FRB's in check

Visitors please RSVP to samfordhhh@yahoo.com if you would like to attend as a guest.

Hares; Gerbils and Whippet.

Last Run Report - No 5- Lake Manchester.

The group before setting off.

17 km - up and down, up and down !
Speedy Snail got lost while speeding.

Jelly legs after 4 hours

We consumed 60 Lts of water and were still longing
for a few beers.
What a great day! Thanks to Sherpa and Skiddy.

Visitors included our old friends "The Shaggers" and "Topless", nice to see them again.

This week - Run Wednesday 12th August.

Next Run No 5 - Lake Manchester - It’s Ekka Day And You’ve Got Nothing To Do. August 12th 9.30 am, for a 10am start.

A bush walk beside the lake, approx 17km’s or 4 hours. Alternatively walk out and turn back when you are half tired (it’s not a flat walk). Lake Manchester is about 30 minutes or 30Km’s from Indoorroopilly, Via the Mt Crosby Road, UBD 172 Q1.
Skiddy and Sherpa where spotted doing their recce at Lake Manchester earlier this week

Bring water and a snack for the walk, hat and sunscreen. For after the walk bring a picnic and a beer. There are w.c. facilities at the dam park. I will be providing only an excuse to get off the sofa and markings at the junctions so we hopefully don’t lose any one. This is not a hash although hashers have been invited and Samford members are supporting the run.

If you are possibly attending please r.s.v.p. to peter.bloomer@gmail.com.

Hares Skidmark & Sherpa.

Last Weks Run Report - Run 4- Walton Bridge -The Gap.
Another glorious day in paradise, another great run!
The hares did a fantastic job in laying trail so that the walkers and the front running bstds came in together!
The runners trail (a distance of 8.1km measured by the GPS) was well set with lots of loops and the hare taking advantage of every hill in the area except Mt. Cootha. Grouse Sheila led the way with Whippet and Wine Wine Wine trying to keep up.
At the back were Stubby and Skidmark who were delayed several times helping little old and young ladies across the street
The walkers were treated to some undulating hills, some parks, some streets, a babbling brook, some tricky checks – and fortunately after last weeks mountain goat impersonations by Sherpa and Skidmark ... no uphill scramble to the TV towers in view the whole way round the trail!
Back at the on on a sumptuous spread was laid on by Hot Lips with real plates no less!
Several good and bad jokes were told in the circle with Headbanger leaving before she could tell us the punch line to Mango King's joke.

On On
Jerbills.

Our numbers are growing SHHH.Inc welcomed more new social members, joining us this week were Wine Wine Wine, Headbanger and Grouse Sheila.
