Run No: 2343
Hare: Daffodil & Corgi
Venue: Muller Park, Ooralea
Hashers: 20
20 Hashers pulled into the Muller Park lot in dribs and drabs on a breezy first day of Spring run. Everyone marvelled at Daffodil’s poached power using his extremely long cord, plug-in light and wondered why TF council provides no lighted area here despite the table and BBQ. ‘I sure hope there’ll be beer tonight,’ commented one concerned Hasher before the final ‘drab’ arrived right on 6.
Run directions, partially listened to, and all were off through convoluted, flat streets. Amazingly, nearly all the ‘runners’ stuck together on their leisurely stroll. Perhaps it was because even those with the best sense of direction were completely bamboozled by where exactly we were or maybe it was because everyone was in a chatty mood and enjoying each other’s company! Finally, the lights of Woolies and Macka’s hinted we were almost ‘home’; official distance: 3.45 km. Crackers and dips were eagerly devoured after that record distance!
Circled called, the monk impressed us with some interesting sporting facts including World Record number of push-ups (10,507 was it?) closely guessed by ever knowledgeable Insex, and the two countries who have attended every ‘modern’ Olympic Games (Greece and Australia) nailed by ‘facts at her finger-tips’, Mrs Appeal.
After some interesting charges, clever jokes, and a rousing rendition of the Hash song (with harmony by Golly, making up for Pench’s absence) Corgi’s sausage ‘au jus’ with assorted breads and root vegetable mash was inhaled. Port with Tim Tams sent all off nicely warmed despite the ‘winter-ish’ breeze that picked up to chase us to our vehicles.
Run next week at 66 O’Brien Esplanade. See you then.
On-On, Maple
