Eye Candy ... The Jacarandas were very pretty

Thanks to Amazing and LeW*nk who composed this weeks run/walk report to avoid a conflict of interest. 


Well, my fellow hashers, the hare (SuperHacker) set us 3 options - run, bike or walk along the banks of the Brisbane River, on the City Cat, and the Hall of Learning at St Lucia Campus.   

On arrival we were broken into three groups, bikers (which is not a real hash, and only for the ageing – it was pleasing to see one member of a particular family determined to stay true to Hash values and did not ride and said riding a bike was cheating) walking, and the elite running group (getting towed by their long suffering dogs).

Off we all went on different paths.  The walkers set off to the Hall of Learning at St Lucia Campus where they were able to embrace Nicene theory and the laws of bio physics amongst other things. The Hash Hounds contemplated a brief course in film studies as then sashayed across the foyer carpet of the Schonell Theatre. 

The bike hash, to my understanding, took the City Cat. So why did they bring bikes? (must be a bike thing).  Their path took them across the river and along the bike path back to the on on.  The elite dogs towing runners, Le W*nk and ShockJock, were guided along the walking paths to the city. As ShockJock kept pointing out there was a lot to look at along this path, and silent prayers of thanks were offered to the hare for setting the run along the river at 5pm on a Sunday night.

We were fortunate to host and welcome some new and old members, Radar (welcome back as always – and who I believe was also offering silent prayers of thanks to the hare for the path through the University Campus – something about appreciating the scholarly minds or some such thing), and friend Jake the Peg who's just returned from a holiday in the Andes and Peru (tough life for some) and we also had a visitor from Taiwan Cliffhanger. Apparently at his kennel everyone is supposed to carry whistles in case they fall over cliffs!

The on on was great thanks to Superhacker’s culinary talents.

The run also welcomed the return of BigTop and HardCore from their travels, the food must have been great as Jackie was looking slightly rounder than when she left us.

And as if all that wasn’t enough it was also a celebration of Superhacker's birthday.  The unruly choir could be heard mauling the ‘happy birthday ditty’ from suburbs away.  A successful outing all round.
