Chardonnay’s Upper Middle Gagebrook Run – R*n 1465
10 April 2025 from Wigram Court, Old Beach
Hare: Grizzly
Run Reporter: Clearfell

Some 25-odd Hashers arrived at Upper Middle Gagebrook, all fearing that their motor vehicles would be without wheels by the end of the night. The Hare, Grizzly, declared that all would be well, and in fact the venue was in fact the up-market suburb of Old Beach (wishful thinking).

The numbers were swelled considerably by the return of Chardonnay members from Nash Hash in Fremantle, all complaining of the cold after the warmth of the west, even though it was a very balmy night,

Hooray arrived at the run site wearing a gold cowboy’s hat (more of that later) bearing bags of oversize marrows and cucumbers, plus copious ears of sweet corn that he was trying to distribute, albeit with limited success.

The run set off down Clives Avenue towards the foreshore. It soon became obvious that Grizzly had been sniffing too much of the Meth-laden atmosphere of Gagebrook, as the trail deviated off Sandstone Place into vague and torturous tracks before emerging parallel to the East Derwent Highway. Running parallel to the highway a right turn onto Fouche Ave then through various rough tracks to Ravensbourne Place. Leading walkers Jack Shit, Wee Bev, Brazilian and Chris Miss led us back to Fouche Avenue. Right into Cloak Place then left into Magus Terrace. Herr Flick called trail through Lennox Park and the Old Beach Recreation Ground. Dog legging eventually led the pack through a walkway onto the Old Beach Foreshore trail where the pace picked up with Bad News, WWW, Buddha & Pussy Galore forging on. Was the trail forward from here? – no! At the rear of the pack, Hands On, Growler, Clearfell and Crusha got confused as trail went over the bridge on the Foreshore track and they obviously missed a turn back from the FT and thus meandered back towards the highway. Across the highway, a deviation through Childs Drive Park, and eventually back to the on on.

Grizzly was bemoaning the fact that there only two runners, being Hooray and Snack Bar, meaning he expended too much energy setting a runner’s trail. Walkers’ trail length varied from 5.5 km to 6.5km of lost group.

Back at the on on we were treated to a gourmet feed cooked up by super hosts Griz and Lone Arranger. We were treated to a number of dog fights (Leo vs Billy, Leo vs Teddy) to spice the night up.

Nancy Boy conducted the Lip Session alone, including a joke about a ‘mouza’ (or should it have been a schnauzer). And hence to Hooray’s golden hat – he claimed it was first prize for best joke at Dodges Ferry pub while in fact it was actually a respray of a brown hat awarded for the worst joke – so nothing has changed!

Overall, a great CH3 night. Thanks to super hosts LA and Grizzly.
