Next Run - Sunday 05th June 2011 - New Time of 4 PM

Holy Smoke did us proud on the 1^st of May with a good work out for the running pack that connected up with the walkers at about 50 minutes with a leisurely return to base in just over the hour. A good size turnout of regulars and occasional with the addition of Blueberry from Thirsty as a Samford virgin.

Sunday 5^th June sees us in the Gap. Start point is the Rotary shelter on the corner of Waterworks Road and Glenquarie place. UBD Page 158 - G/2. Parking either at the Gap tavern, or Baileys Road giving rear access to the park. Parking is limited so leave space for the beer truck. For those that know the area Skidmark promises that he will neither be going up or down El Paso.

Time: New Winter time of 4 PM


Our last run was everything you would expect from Grouse Sheila. A trail that was well marked and set with checks that had us all confused.

Mount Coot-tha lived up to expectations as well, as you can see from the photo it took a Sherpa to lead the way from our little picnic spot by the falls. Nobody got swept away, but Art Attack did take a tumble when she tried to hurdle Miles.


The On On attracted a couple of French Hashers who made various excuses as to why they were too late to do the run, but we all knew it was just a fear of hights.

Thanks Grouse Sheila.

Hares Promise – You will see water falls but no hills, we’ll be out in time for the evenings news on Channel 7 – which evening she didn’t say!!!!

Last Run Report - Photos below

Hashers gathered at Teralba Park on a windy afternoon, wondering if one of the many squally showers was going to hit us before the start, but the weather held off until after we were fed, thanks for arranging that hares!

Pre-briefed with latitude, longitude and elevation it was evident that we were going to visit Michelton’s highest point, which help us guess most of the many checks with some degree of success.

After the high points we decended to pass some streams with considerable flood damage, and did our best to reunite a dog owner with her 2 lost dogs.

The Circle was fun with lively, and frequent, interruptions from Bite & Suck. Boxy and Rini were welcomed back informing us that Shit Zu had fled to Japan.  We have since learnt that she realizes that life is not so bad here after all and she is now back home safe and sound.

Gerbils and Whippet, thanks, we all enjoyed the run, sausage sizzle, chutney and more!!!

Words for Hash Run of 06th February 2011 - Well a few!

Rumourmonger & Spice Girl did us proud by filling in as Hares and we were all expecting a re run of their excellent Thirsty Run the Thursday before.

No no no, not at all, in the rain they set us a completely new trail, including some Virgin territory, and we all enjoyed and appreciated their efforts.

Here is a snap of some of the water rats as they cool off on a very humid day, not to mention the sweat from keeping up with the pace that Grouse Sheila set.

Kerry our new runner got sorted out with how many times you can be a Virgin at the shout up, and Pot Luck did the dinner.  A fun evening, special thanks to the Hares.

On On

Another Great Day For Hashing- Cuntry Members Run of 09th Jan 2011:
Eleven water-proof hashers turned up in Albany Creeks Water World next to the Sandy Creek. The wild weather warnings meant nothing to them (except for Gerbils !) and the only serious question was if any chalk or flour would be visible for directions on the run…..
Hare Cuntry Member had chosen the safer option of his shredder supplies 

.

First we came across a false trail with no other way than to go back and to take the first dip into the floods. Followed by as many plunges as one can include into a 90 minute refreshing hash through some lake districts, water ways, Colorado River like creeks, lush green parklands and forest.

The well designed wet season route disappointed no one and the smell of beer and wine activated a well known sense of how to get back to home!

Non stop rain at  the on on under the tin roof, the girls forecast was “It's raining men”. RA Whippet dished out some hash fines and the attention changed to Cuntry’s nibbles and hash nosh, which we all enjoyed.

It was just another great day for hashing. Thanks Cuntry Member!  ON ON

Volunteer to be a hare, it's great fun! Plus the Chinese New Year of the Hare - sorry - Rabbit will start just 3 days beforehand!  

Come and join us. The next run on 06th Feb will be marked with chop sticks and the weather will be perfect, dry & hot to make you thirsty.

Water World Run and Next Activities

The pack gathered at Undambi Rotary Park on the banks of a swollen South Pine River.
Ned Kelly, a FRB, was welcomed to the Hash. The Hares briefed us that we could expect to get our shoes wet, we needed a torch and then mumbled that they expected to be holding a wet T shirt competition at the end.                                                                                                                                                                  

We set off and soon found ourselves travelling upstream into new territory, with plenty of evidence of where the 100 year flood mark may be.

Shattered After
A longish run it was, but no torch was needed and we headed off to the On On.

At this stage the whole Hash had become fed up with Spice Girl, well that is to say she demonstrated  her one armed culinary skills, to which we were all grateful after such a splendid run. Thanks Hares.

During the Shout Up Rumourmonger was presented with a little bit more of the Borneo Bullshit that he relished dishing out himself not so long ago!

Next Run - Sunday 05th December 2010 + Last Word/Photos

Grouse Sheila’s virgin run for Samford Inc was simply breathtaking!

Not only was it our longest and most physically challenging trot to date, it was also one of the most spectacular, taking in the beauty of the Bardon/Mount Coot-tha landscape, with a waterfall drink stop thrown in for good measure.

For one and a half hours – with just the occasional break to resuscitate Skiddy – we clambered up and down treacherous, hilly trails in the hope of eventually finding flat country. Clever checks and falsies kept the pack together until we eventually found ourselves back at the starting point, by which time we’d forgotten what day of the week it was!

Cuntry Member, Stubby and Rumourmonger were down-downed for displaying excessive testosterone by going the full distance (take that whichever way you want!) Grouse Sheila escaped an eco-vandalism charge – cutting foliage to hide a check. As an environmental scientist she’s licensed to snip dangly bits, so don’t upset her guys!

Thanks Grouse – great run!

Next run is Sunday 5^th December.

Meet at Undambi Rotary Park, corner of Mount Glorious Road and Mount O’Reilly Road, Highvale UBD Page 106 E14.

Hares: Rumourmonger and Spice Girl. After the run, it’s back to their abode for a quick bite

(thankfully, their recent visitor, Mr E. Brown, pictured here, has now moved on!!)

On, On! Rumourmonger
