Hash Footage Seen Last Sunday


Run Report 27th September 2009 - FR Caterson Park, Mansfield

Samford Hash Inc. pounding the dirt in yet another suburb with a group of 12 runners/walkers ready and eager to start. After a last minute sign in by the guests the hares set us off with the promise of snakes, dragons, hills and water crossings.
Walkers to the left and runners taken down the hill under the road and up a small hill before finding the first check and u turning to come back past the cars…..!!! Now following the same trail as the walkers who will have had a few checks to negotiate along the route.
As promised there were water crossings, sandy trails a few sneaky checks before a pit-stop with the walkers and a welcome beverage. It was here we were able to see the rare red, yellow, blue, green jelly snake some where eaten, others tied in knots and a few even fed to the crows. The on trail took us back across the stream, up onto the road looping back to the park along the bike track. Everyone back before darkness set in for usual down downs and hash nosh supplied by our hares. Hot dogs, salad and a few more jelly snakes. Joke supplied by Gerbils something to do with a piece of string and a frayed knot!
Thanks to the hares, Gerbils and Whippet, a jolly nice run and a good feed.
Time to head home before the car park was locked for the night.

Run Report – Sunday 20th Sept 09

Our hosts this week were Rover and Art Attack assisted by Miles, who had set a V run between the Bremer and Brisbane Rivers in Karalee.

Joining us were Georgina and Bec on Honey, Llara on her own mount and experienced Hashoholics Speed and Outhouse.

We all set off on time towards the riverside.

This was the Hares first run set in Oz, and the harriers can be lucky there were no hills in the area, be warned for future runs.

Whippet was delighted to have some FRB competition in the form of Speed and Outhouse, but the first check brought us all together again. So did the other four checks to come.

As the unfamiliar sight and smell of the sweaty Harriers sped around the semi rural area the local dog population was stirred up vocally.

The On On was under the new moon with Down Downs for the Hares and Guests, we look forward to seeing them again.

Thanks to the Hares for delicious Hash Nosh and a fun run.

Run Report - Sunday 13th September 2009

We gathered at Iron Bark Gully, for a change there were slightly more members than visitors.

As some of us hadn’t seen each other for a while, we were nattering about Noosa before we realized that it was 10 past 5, so made speedy start towards the summit in what we agreed would be a bit of a recce of a run.

By the time we reached the top, our Sherpa reminded us that, like summiting Everest, to admire the views for too long is foolhardy and a decent must be started soon.

The track chosen was new to us, but was sign posted and seemed well used.

So we set off down it expecting to exit onto the Samford Road.

As we went further down, the damage caused by the resent Storm Burst that hit the area some months back, meant that we had to deviate quite a bit due to fallen trees.

Hence, we got slower and it got darker. Who was going to question the wisdom of a 5 PM start first?

A decision was made to leave the gully and retrace our steps, and with the appearance of torches the Thirsty Hashers were feeling at home.

Pot luck awaited us, so to the night sounds of the forest.

Next weeks run will be announced tomorrow. On On

Hares On Holidays --- Next Run TBA






Almost all our regular keen Hashers have chosen to go on holiday, a Hash dirty weekend, a business trip or are going to be kidnapped for Father's Day.

We have no Hares for Sunday the 06th so there won't be a run.

We'd welcome any volunteer Hares to set a run soon.


Run Report - No 8 - South Pine River Crossing

The day of the ‘Bridge to Brisbane’ saw us (also) hashing across the South Pine River and through some of Brisbane’s northern suburbs.

We met in front of ‘Durban Curry’ - only to find that they had just gone bust the previous day. But no worries there – we quickly decided to relocate for a top nosh after our walk to an Indian Curry across the road.

Muka Puki and Oils joined again and introduced us to their friend Backdoor Girl who we all welcomed in our midst.

Skidmark, Sherpa and Topless were ready to roll, Stubby eager to start - but where was Schnapps? Schnapps ?? ‘Schnapps has left me’ Stubby informed us upon request. But don’t panic - all’s good – she returned moments later with a smile – so: all is well that ends well J Schnapps and Stubby were our hares on the day and a big Thank You to both of them for being our hares two runs in a row.

We started our 8+ km run/walk shortly after 4 pm. Only Topless found it a little difficult to find her way = the arrow pointing the group in the right direction at the start. With a little help from her friends, though, pointing it out to her she finally found what she was looking for.

The run was really well marked and took us through suburban parkland as well as bushland and along and across the South Pine River. Some checks and hills kept us on our toes and made the run interesting and fun.

After 90 minutes we all gathered back at the start and the hash circle witnessed the down down’s of some overachievers: Stubby and Schnapps for setting a really long walk, and Topless for taking part in the ‘Bridge 2 Brisbane’ as well as the Hash walk. Visitor Backdoor Girl was also down downed to a new but nice song.

All in all it was a good afternoon run with a lovely evening meal to match.

Our next run will be in two weeks time with further details still to be advised since most of our potential hares are ‘on tour’ next Sunday.
