RUN REPORT

The first trail after the welcome resumption of daylight savings is a tricky gig. Replenshed with the enthusiasm of spring and released from the dark shackles of the Hobart to Moonah strip, Hares often set trails that might stretch the daylight chain limit even on the longest day of the year.

Think Can’t Stop setting a 90 minute trail that had the Pack descending the foothills of kunyani in darkness, or last year’s effort by Thrill Seeker, with Gov’nor Honkers wandering through the wilds of Lenah Valley with only a phone light and an underdeveloped sense of direction to guide him.

Hare Highness Eager also has ‘form’ for setting… robust trails, and the terrain around Waterworks had great scope for the first activation the H5 EPIRB.

[We don’t have an EPIRB. If you’re lost it’s probably because you weren’t on trail in the first place so, sucks to be you.]

Thankfully, Eager wasn’t about to be the second Hare to lose a Hasher*, and set a sensible trail. Note that I didn’t write ‘short trail’. I wanted to, but the Penguins have issued a cease and desist order preventing me from making fun of their lack of height.

Not so much a ‘cease and desist order’ – more like a note tied to a brick and thrown through my window. Lower ground window. Floor-to-ceiling. Barely made it over the sill.

(* The ‘honour’ of being the first to lose a Hasher goes to a H4-set trail that resulted in Big Bang spending a cold night on Rocky Tom.)

The runners would have a gallop down to Dynnyrne then back around the reservoirs, while the walkers would single file and chat their way around the reservoir walking track. All in daylight, what could go wrong?

Sugar Babe did her best to blot Eager’s safety record by throwing her self at the ground. Hopes that Sugar Babe‘s tits may have broken her fall were fanciful at best; certainly delusional.

The other casualty was Bee’s Dick‘s dinner, a selection of Coles cheapest barbecue meats, which was claimed by a brazen vegetarian raven. (Had to be vegetarian – I doubt that there was any meat in those sausages.)

The other most welcome aspect of ‘summer’ trails is the return of Next Week‘s FireMaster 5000 and the improved CharMaster 3000. (No longer do you have a 50/50 chance of losing your sausage into the fire, but there’s still the same high probability of turning your meat into charcoal.)

The circle turned into a flash mob, with the Lips and then Growler taking turns in scarring the retinas of the Pack by forgetting to turn off their head torches when addressing the assembled dears.

A welcome return to the smell of bushland, the earthy crunch of desiccated wallaby turds and the taste of charcoaled miscellaneous meat products. The buzz of incandescent street lighting is a already distant memory.

On! On!
