RUN REPORT by Mongrel

The rain had stopped, the weather was nice and the Orange Grove Hotel gave the Larrikins a good price.

Boosted by a record turnout of Harriettes,  26 hashers turned up for Mongrel’s run at the Orange Grove Hotel. Laundromat had a reserved parking spot for the bucket at the base of the triangle park. Bristle arrived very late with a sore something or other. Me Knob and Short Sheeter were the trail masters.

Off the pack went for a counter clockwise tour of Callan park.  Past the ambulance training center, past the writers center, past the Uni buildings to the park main entrance for a check. Down the hill to the bush track by the electric substation to the Iron Cove Bay run. Along the bay run past the rowers center and Le Montage to Lillyfield Road where there was a walkers/runners split.  Runners did a loop on Hawthorn canal thru the dog off leash area the the Doggy cafe and parallel to the light rail. Runners joined up with the runners on Lillyfield road and the trail back to the bucket.

Mongrel was the hare and the RA. Old Hand was picked to do the run report, and she promptly gave it a 9.8 score as she told the circle that it was actually her run and her runs never get to high a score until now. Had a visitor from UK (Long & Wet) in town to do the marathon. Everyone was in a drinking mode and the bucket soon ran out of beer etc so on on to the Orange Grove Hotel.

On into the hotel. Rump steak special for $20. Seemed ok. But we didn’t read the fine print. Fetchit told us that with the special you also got a generous glass of pinot. Now things were much better than ok. It was like manna form heaven. Best deal ever, real inflation fighter, we should come here every Tuesday etc. It doesn’t take much to make the Larrikins happy. So happily we all went home.

that’s all folks  

On On
