UP & CUMMING

RUN REPORT

Chardonnay’s We Haven’t Forgotten Trail
13 August from Lenah Valley RSL
Hare: Cumonion
Run Reporter: Hands On

On arrival at the Lenah Valley RSL, the bean counters were already set up and eagerly waiting for the payments to subside their next holiday.

In the Raw arrived in fine form and immediately launched into a rant about whoever owned the blue Nissan. Apparently, they had attended the Snack Bar School of Parking, judging by the angle of the car, which was comfortably taking up two parking spots.

Flicky, the RSL parking attendant, also reported the parking fail to Uber, who conducted an inspection himself and decided it was definitely worthy of a skoll.

It was great to see Sonar back after his 12 weeks cruising around the mainland. His shirt did appear to be slightly smaller than when he left. Herr Flick explained that’s what happens when you wash them in hot water. Obviously, Flicky has had the same problem!

Ted, aka Basil the Siberian Hamster, was very pleased to see Randell, accompanied by Twinkle Toes, waiting outside the RSL.

We left the RSL, heading right into Pottery Road, then McCann Crescent and onto Doyle Avenue. From there, we turned left into Waverley Avenue, right into Augusta Road, past Calvary and down Bedford Street, winding our way around the streets of New Town before returning towards the RSL.

At this point, Snacky was observed taking off like a dog shot in the backside, despite having leisurely strolled up every hill earlier in the run. Obviously, he was saving his legs for the important stuff!

The runners — Wee Bev, Red Dress, Chris Miss, Poley and Snacky — continued up Clare Street, then Montagu Street and Carlton Street to an FT, before heading back up Backer Street and returning to the RSL via Wellwood Street and Creek Road.

The walkers — Hands On, Growler, Grass Roots, Arse Cutter, LA, Griz, Scrotum, Crusha, Dyke, Twinkle Toes, Flicky, Jack Shit, Top Dek, Sonar, plus others I can’t remember — mostly followed the trail.

Unfortunately, Arse Cutter had to cut the walk short due to Achilles issues.

I’m fairly sure Scrotum only made it as far as the corner of Pottery Road before turning back to the RSL.It was also a ‘four-pee and one-poo walk’ for Ted the dog, who clearly had his own agenda for the evening.

We eventually returned to the RSL for a fine feed, followed by another lively lip session courtesy of Uber and Hands On.

A great night was had by all — plenty of walking, running, parking criticism and, of course, the usual Hash House Harriers entertainment!

DOWN DOWNS

Lip: Hands On & Uber

• Cumonion: Hare, with assistance from Uber, but was growled at by Cumonion because he didn’t follow orders.
• Snack Bar: offered Cumonion assistance to set trail, but on the day failed to answer any of the 25 phone calls made to find out where he was. The yoga mat was getting a solid workout.
• Snack Bar: ambling uphill, but took off like a rocket once trail headed downhill.
• Spoof: had a day to forget last Friday. Received ‘love letter’ from Tasmania Police (as in ‘we’d love you to pay us money for speeding’), then lost a lens out of his glasses at Posh Hash.

• Topdek: hashy birthday FU.
• Sonar, Chris Miss, Jacques le Poo & Scrotum: c*untry members.
• Sonar: needs a new shirt – that one seems to have shrunk in the time since he went touring.
• Sonar: (ten-week old skol, waiting for his return) falling off his bike and doing himself a fair bit of damage.
• Red Dress: new shoes.
• Dyke: frequent visitor to the RSL, still hasn’t worked out that the front door needs to be pulled, not pushed.
• Dyke: frequent visitor to the blood bank, the free pies means that he doesn’t need to buy lunch.
• In The Raw: asked Wee Bev where Flicky was – he was sitting right next to her.
• Hands On: selling raffle tickets for Shake It Up Foundation. First prize was two nights at Hands On’s place, upgraded to actual accommodation on Bruny Island.
  Hands On is again doing the Tassie Ride for Parkinsons, with 100% of funds raised going to the charity. Please donate if you are able (click this link).

Skols from the floor:

• Herr Flick -> Jack Sh!t & Chris Miss: heading off on another holiday – far cough yak hunts.
  Postscript: Uber and Cumonion kept it until after the song to announce that they too would be away for the next three weeks.
• Chris Miss -> Dyke: needed to walk faster as Randall the dog (and by connection, TwinkleToes) kept stopping right in front of and tripping up Hashers, looking back to find where Dyke was (see next skol).
• In The Raw -> Dyke: the once superhuman Interhash ball-breaker now reduced to shuffling around within reach of the NDIS group due to bad knees. It was suggested that he’d spent too much time on his knees being hammered by a strap-on (and that Randall needed his claws clipped).
• Dyke -> Red Dress: happily married man, but ordered a ‘sticky date’ then turned around and winked at Dyke.
• Herr Flick -> Crusha: spotted skulking out of the RSL with his arms loaded (‘stealing’ cans from the RSL).
• Grizzly -> Uber: saw what looked like a homeless person asleep in the corner of the bistro and was about to see him out. It was Crusha.

Next week’s trail:

• Paddy Wagon Irish Pub @ Norky, as set by Grizzly.
