Uncouth mount Mount Coot-tha

From the hares' description at the start the route sounded a bit complicated, but it wasn't. In simple terms the run/walk could be divided into two parts:
Part A - Up
Part B - Down
Simple!

The runners' trail took them to the summit; the walkers' around a circuit on the lower slopes. We thought we'd lost a couple at the finish - so it was good to see them appearing through the woods. They hadn't been eaten by koala bears....

Once again Superhacker and her team produced a ribfilling and tasty feast. Thanks, hares!

Hardcore is becoming a mature married lady next weekend, and she anticipated this important event with a down, down at the on, on. We wish her many more.

The other big event this coming weekend is, of course, Samford Hash's 21st Birthday Run! Remember: our start time - for this week only - will be 4 pm, to give us a bit more time to party!

21st birthday run

Some of our members have been busy producing a Hash vintage from vineyards at Clear Mountain and Cedar Creek. What will the result be? Wine, or vinegar? Here are a few shots of the process....

The harvest:


Hand-sorting the grapes (not really commercial, but pretty social):


Trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored:


Highly scientific hydrometer reading:


Sampling the juice: Will it ever be drinkable again?


The winemakers:


Next run details (A big one, this!)

When: Sunday 12th February, 4 pm. Note: 4 pm start this week; repeat - 4 pm start!
Where: Corner Clear Mountain Road and Buranda Road, Clear Mountain. Here's a map.
Hares: Charcoal and Strine. Dinner will be a pot-luck special. Come and eat cake!

On, on!
