The Mackay Hash House Harriers gathered for another adventurous run, this time led by Juice and Termite. The run started at the upper reaches of the salt water on the Old Pioneer River, promising a mix of scenic beauty and thrilling challenges.
The trail took us down to Dumbleton Weir, where we then backtracked along the overgrown bank. The path was treacherous, with fallen trees and thick underbrush. A few hashers had close encounters with the local wildlife, nearly tumbling into the jaws of a 10-foot crocodile lurking nearby.
We continued our journey, climbing out of the river under a massive fig tree. The canopy was so dense that we had to use our torches to navigate through the darkness. Under the tree, we discovered a local camp set up, adding an element of surprise to our adventure.
The trail then led us to the right, where Termite had set up the much-anticipated Hash Piss stop. After a refreshing break, we headed back home to start the circle.
In the circle, Shocker, our new GM, stepped in as Monk while Tounger performed his Monkee duties. Charges were handed out with enthusiasm:
- Picalo and Nikka Likkawere charged for being returning runners.
- Bob Downreceived a charge for meeting his yearly quota of runs in just two consecutive weeks.
- Zorrowas charged for missing the piss stop.
The circle was filled with laughter, thanks to the great jokes shared by Flaps, Pensioner, and Golly. The evening concluded with some delicious appetizers and a hearty stew prepared by Termite, followed by mouth-watering dessert crumbles with custard.
Another memorable run for the Mackay Hash House Harriers, filled with camaraderie, adventure, and plenty of laughs! On-on!
