Last Run: Samford Inc's new Hares Biggus Dickus & Bootee

This has to be the best inner city run that we have done. We departed from their Italian Villa at McDowall (complete with an original tiled Mafioso butchers table for informants) into the Chermside Hills Reserve. 

Undulating and well marked trails, which included the Giwadha Track, took us through some delightful forest and along crystal clear streams. As an added bonus there were several trails through the forest itself and apart from the start and end not a trace of tarmac! Well done Hares this was a gem of a Run.

Checks were well set,  Spice Girl called the On!

Pizza lead the way along the Giwadha Track

The Happy Hares Bootee & Biggus Dickus

New Runners take a down down - welcome Wopa, Crown Larger & Flower

The On On was fun:
Skiddy did a raffle to aid our Hash Cash funds. Various items that he and Sherpa (sadly missed due to a bug) had been too embarrassed to give away to friends were eagerly snapped up with cash.
Wopa made a boo boo in that he didn't realise that Spice Girl was on her day off and referred to her as Call Girl - even Craig Thompson wouldn't have made that mistake.

There followed a lavish veggie lasagne with tiramisu. Thanks Hares it was a really good run. On On

Next Run - Sunday 06th May 2012 - Start of 4PM + Words & Photos

April Fools Words of wisdom:

Well the weather was nice to us which is more than I can say for the smiling

Skipper "Stubby" who lead us on an undulating trial through what was part of

the old Dayboro railway. Cresting hill after hill like giant waves.  Withour numbers having been depleted by the loss of Gerbils and Whippet toMongolia, and the absence of Rumour monger and Spice girl, a cast of 10members still rallied to the call. The whole thing almost sounds like are-run of Gilligan's island. So here's the report by Biggus Dickus: 

The Hares  Run Was Conveniently Tilted - Down Down!!

Just sit right back

And you'll hear a tale
A tale of a fateful run,
That started on a tropo trail,
As the Samford Inc Hash Club.
The Hare was a mighty Stubby' man,
With Schnapps so brave and sure,
Ten hashers set on trail that day,
At ten mintues past four,
At ten minutes past four.

The Shiggy started getting rough,

The Hashers were all cross.
If not for the courage of the fearless Hares
The Hashers would be lost.
The Hashers would be lost.


The Hashers set upon the ground
Of this uncharted rocky trial
With Skidmark,and Sherpa too.
The Verbal Diarrhoea
And Bite N' Suck,
The Tooheys New,
Biggus, Bootee, XXXX in a can.
Here on the Samford Trial.


(Ending verse)
So this is the tale of our Hashers bold,
Chasing beer for a long, long time.
They'll have to make the best of things,
It's an uphill climb.


Good'ol Schnapps and Stubby too
Will do their very best,
To make the Hashers comf'terble
In their tropo trail contest.


No phone, no train, no motor car,
Not a single luxury
Except for a high tension power line,
It's primitive as can be.
So join us here each Month my friends,
You're sure to have some fun,
With 10 exhausted Hashers
On the Samford Inc Hash Run!

RA Skiddy's servings of nectar went down quickly - after the photo was take

Congratulations to our new nappy changers. They will for sure need an extra hand..........
You work it out - how many hands did they grow out of their athletic bodies yet!!

Down Downs - The Hares (Stubby & Schnapps), Verbal Diarrhoea & Bite & Suck(for becoming Grand Parents), Skiddy ( for being obsessed with rocks)Verbal Diarrhoea for being accident prone.

Happy Easter and may your Easter Hares bring much chocolate,

Bootee & Biggus

Next Run - Sunday 01st April 2012 - Start of 4PM + Words & Photos

Hares: Stubby & Schnapps

Location: Wahminda Park (Opp Iron Bark Gully) Ferny Grove, Samford Road - UBD Page 117 - D/17

Start: 4 PM - Winter Time.


Last Run: Gerbils and Whippets farewell run, there on their way to live in the Ulan Bator freezer!

After checking in for his flight to Ulan Bator, Whippet nipped back to join us for the run. A hurried safety briefing regarding the numerous hills had us gasping for breath even before we set off.
Two runs were set and the checks had each and every one of us fooled at some stage or other and good timing meant the runners caught up with the walkers on the home straight.

Gerbils and Whippet enjoy a down down to celebrate the last time in bare feet for a couple of years!! 

The Circle was held in the Departure Lounge, well that's what it looked like apart from the pots of Mongolian Lamb that were brought out for us to tuck into - yummy.

For the On On, to send them off in style - into the zone of discontinuous permafrost with an average annual temperature of minus 2.4 C Gerbils and Whippet were presented a modern day conventional Hot Water Bottle (or hottie).

Hotties are one of life's forgotten pleasures and remain a popular alternative in rural areas (for example, it is widely used in Mongolia). There has been a recent surge in popularity as it is seen to be an ecologically friendly and thrifty way to keep warm.
Warning! - There have been problems with premature failure of rubber hot water bottles due to unsuitable fillings containing yeast, identified as Cascade Premium Light.

Thanks Hares, good luck at the Hash Migration have a great safari and keep in touch.

The Year Of The Dragon Run + Next Run Details

Gong Xi Fa Chai - Welcome in the Year of The Dragon.


Their reputation for hospitality and fine runs drew Hashers from both South side and North side and we also welcomed quite a few new Hashers and a couple of returnees. Ned turned up in new shoes and had us laughing like Kookaburras cos we knew there was a good chance of some muddy trails.

The Hares always find some new trails, or maybe its that we can't remember back too far. However, we always have one or two compulsory crossings of the South Pine River to contend with and Ned did us proud with his slippy rocks routine, sadly Hash Flash missed the shot but we all heard the splash.

The On On was fun and we learnt that Whippet & Gerbils are off to Ulan Bator - just to prove that its there. I can't remember how many sinners there were but once that was over we fell under the spell of Spice Girl who proved that its not just Dragons that can have HOT breath.

Thanks Hares, and also those who travelled so far to join us, hope to see you again.

Another great Chinese New Year Run - Its the Year of the Dragon.

Your Hares: Rumourmonger & Spice Girl

Location: Undambi Rotary Res, O'Reilly Rd, off Mt Glorious Rd, Samford. UBD page 106 - E/14

Time: 5 PM - Hashers are to wear RED

Our last run was a Pot Luck at Samford, so was the Hare. It started OK but excessive "knitting" at the front lead to a dead end - not to worry, Cuntry knew the way cos he claimed "I've done it loads of times" Well of course we know that but it had nothing to do with the right trail and I think at the end of the run we had run 3 different trails. No one cared as we posed for Hash Flash, enjoyed the circle and tucked into Pot Luck.

A very Hashy New Year from the Pumpkins

VD re-grouped the runners at back check No 15 where he had promised a drink stop but failed to call XXXX for delivery

The Christmas Hares: Ho, Ho and Ho

"I'm dreaming of a HASH Christmas"! Santa Skiddy dished out our secret surprises, even a Hash bed!!!!

Lots of fun at the Shout Up which was followed by a traditional Christmas feast with all the trimmings. This included Just Joanna's traditional Columbian fare which had a shot of vodka in it - Yum Yum - Thanks Hares

Mekong Indo-China Hash + NEXT RUN DETAILS on 04th December + WORDS/PHOTOS

Samford Inc RA, Skidmark, Sherpa, Rumourmonger and Spice Girl were among around 260 hashers from some 30 countries who took part in the Mekong Indo-China Hash in Laos in October.  As the most heavily bombed country on the planet, per capita (with about 80 million unexploded ordnance still lurking about the place), Laos might not sound like an ideal hash location. But we had a ball. Highlights included the traditional Red Dress run around the World Heritage listed town of Luang Prabang and a spectacular street procession marking the end of the Buddhist fasting period. 

The hash pièce de résistance, for all the wrong reasons, was the so-called hangover or recovery run. This exhausting stumble in the jungle turned out to be even longer – and definitely more hazardous – than the 12km ball-breaker the previous day! So long, in fact, that some hashers missed flights that afternoon and the many Aussies amongst us missed the live telecast of the Australia-New Zealand Rugby World Cup game (not such a bad miss, given the result!)

All set for the Red Dress run from our curiously named hash HQ, Hotel Phousi (pronounced pussy we're told) L-R Slocum and Jackoff from Singapore Lion City HHH, Rumourmonger, Sherpa and Skidmark. Spice Girl is behind the camera

And they called this the Recovery Run!!!!

Beautiful scenic view at Luang Prabang

Luang Prabang Hash culinary delights!!!!!
