RUN 2381 REPORT

Did you know:
.

On Monday night H5 ushered in the final summer run, prior to a brand-new Autumn series.  And what a glorious evening it was, as this Indian summer continues.

The venue ably sourced by the Hare Prawn Star’s contacts, was 241 Josephs Road Carlton.  A sprawling property of 170 hectares, mainly bushland, with a beautiful looking residence with a south-easterly aspect and a recently vacated AirBNB.  (The latter noted by club members).  The owner Matt Smith was a very generous host to H5 when access to rural properties is getting increasingly challenging.  Cheers Matt! 

A decent turnout of about 25 Hashers descended on Carlton on an evening which would’ve made the Grand Master proud, after some inclement weather at Seven Mile Beach the previous week.  Remember everyone – it never rains on hash run! 

Things were so relaxed the clock ticked past 6.35pm before the fun started.  If Grizzly and ITR were present I would dare say we would not have gotten away with that.  As they say, when the cat’s away …

During the pre-run briefing Prawn Star was straight up about the hills on the course, rewarding views and provided reassurance that he and Matt did not see any snakes whilst setting the trail.  Some mixed emotions there.  The walkers had a 3.5km route to complete and the runners about 5kms. 

The crew headed north through the bush, which had been cleared by the host with his ride on mower.  As I said earlier – what a great host!  The trail weaved around the first kilometre or so, punctuated by a FT or two.  Then a more developed 4WD track went directly north straight up the first real hill, presumably where we were supposed to enjoy the “view.”

I did feel a bit for Limp coming off his Kunanyi run the previous Saturday.  It must’ve felt all too familiar.  Bee’s Dick demonstrated his youthful strength by managing to run up the bastard without stopping.   

Kilometre 2-3 wound north and northwest downhill through thick brush and ferns, and then up again.  Bee’s Dick and Eveready were grateful for their long pants.  I was grateful for my calf sleeves.  Limp was simply hard core in his shorts.  By the 3.5 km mark we came across one of the runner walkers’ splits.  They were smiling and waving of course.  We were not.

The last kilometre or so followed a set 4WD track in a westerly direction, past a water hole and then “on home.”  Overall, a challenging, but enjoyable and memorable bush run/walk.  Well worked by the Hare and the Host, not too long – and well judged as the days are getting shorter.  Noone wants to be lost in the bush in the dark! 

Despite this, one or two murmurs circulated about a walker or two who were slightly overdue.  But all is well that ends well, as small groups of walkers appeared out of the moonlight towards the ranch.  Eventually everyone made it back alive and well. 

Back at H5 HQ and the (almost) full moon was out, the Firemaster 5000 was going and the night was still, only punctuated by hungry hashers around the BBQ. 

The perfect bush spot to set up a lip session was the Mahindra tray, with a relaxed bunch of H5 members who for some reason were content to be near the fire master.  A perfect end to a very pleasant evening. 

Special mention to Sonar for his entertaining photography prowess, honed by the “high-level” training courses he has attended over the past 12 months.  Lol …

Next Week for his tremendous and ongoing management of Vyvyan and the fire master – a true treat, which will be missed by the members once again, as we move back into the pubs. 

On On to the 6^th of April at the Lenah Valley RSL.

SKOLS – Organ Grinder

• The Hare – Prawn Star. A good bush trail.

Skols from the floor

• Eager – volunteering at the Kunanyi series, allocated Limp the devil’s number 666. 
• Just Kidding – engaged in a recent family dispute.  Took it out on the couch and broke her toe. 
• Fish Fingers – a food malfunction.  She was so hungry she forgot to remove the layers of glad wrap from her burger before placing on the BBQ. 
• Steady Eddy – pioneered a new way of getting affection from some Harrietts, by finding some fencing to get tangled in and pulling them down to the ground with him. 
• Lost Property – Organ Grinder – one lousy little blue cup left on the BBQ at Seven Mile Beach.
• Limp and Eveready – for hashing too early on the run – and disappearing for a while in the process.
