RUN 2326 REPORT

Hare Triple K waved her arms theatrically and issued instructions for Run 2326 … the standard blurb about runners and walkers and NDIS.

Hashers obediently departed Simmons Park and followed trail along the Esplanade, turning left along Talune St, then a scenic stretch along the coast, around Limekiln Point, toward Geilston Bay. Here some steep steps led up the hill to the Natone Hill bushland reserve. The question on everyone’s lips was, ‘how far up Natone Hill will the Hare take us?’  Not far, as it turned out; Triple K showed a touch of kindness in turning trail right to follow one of the reserve’s tracks, contouring the hill through a nice (but short) bit of bush before hitting Derwent Ave and paralleling our outward trail back to the On On.

Puff, puff, huff, huff … heard before he was seen, ITR sounded like Puffing Billy*. He was suffering the effects of stubbornly racing Grizzly neck-to-neck along trail. Some might say that, at their age, it would be more sensible to worry about crossing the finish line at all than about crossing it first. Still, sensible and these two Hashers don’t really belong in the same sentence.

(*Fact: the original Puffing Billy was built as a prototype for use on the UK’s Wylam Colliery line. It remained in service until 1862 and is now on display in London’s Science Museum with other old stuff, some of it older than Grizzly and ITR.)

I don’t know where the runners’ trail went (who cares?) but various runners passed us along the way. TicToc, about to leave the bush trail, paused long enough to explain how happy she was to be running back to civilisation; although the uncivilised side of the trail might have had more to do with the fact that Snack Bar was somewhere up there rather than the fact that it was bush.

Along Derwent Ave, the FRBs of the NDIS crew – Wee Willie Winkie, Lone Arranger, and TopDek – suddenly appeared out of nowhere. They had skipped the steps up to the reserve, deciding they were too steep. That fabulist* Wee Willie Winkie spun a tall tale that cast them as the true athletes, choosing the longest route instead of short-cutting up the hill. I have to call bullsh#t on that one.

(*Fact:The root of fabulist is the Old French fable, ‘lie or pretense’, from the Latin fabula, ‘story, play, or tale’, or literally, ‘that which is told’. Sounds like it could apply to Wee Willie Winkie)

The walkers’ trail was just under 5kms, with a total ascent of 161m, so the Flat Earthers had nothing to complain about.

Back at the On On, the eskies were still overflowing with Tun beer, thanks to Hash Hops Thrill Seeker and Steady Eddie. For a while, it looked as if Thrill Seeker was going to miss out on his customary Guinness, until he extracted a last bottle from his secret stash, hidden among the wines. How low can a Hash Hops go? (The Tun beer is a clue to the correct answer.)

With Bee’s Dick once again starring as the lone Lip, the Lip session was short and sweet, held against the back-drop of a lovely sunset over Mt Wellington.

On On – Cracker
