RUN REPORT by Grange

A good group of 25 or so arrived , after meandering down from the pub ( could that be Hunters Hill ) 200m away .

A  brief intro and a suggestion from the Hare of a shorter trail , with a split for WALKERS and RUNNERS

the pack set off 

THEN only about 20 minutes CHUCK  returned after  the first CHECK ( chucking and checking , so early )

With the first check near the waterfront !

Having climbed the uphill pathway , the main group had gone ! Or was it the Giant Greater Hunters Hill Howler

leaping from the tree that scared her .

The main pack , having checked out the foreshore , and twinkling lights on the water meandered off the Fig Tree Bridge.    Admired the city lights with both RUNNERS and WALKERS.

Then found the SPLIT at Ryde Road allowing the return TRAIL to the BUCKET

Both groups arrived back in about 50 minutes , after about 3 KM and 5KM for WALKERS and RUNNERS  respectively

With some puffing and panting , for special effect , OH and sweat , swet , like liquid pools around pores I mean 

R A well . . . the one and only MONGREL called the circle for a RUN REPORT from LAUNDRO

who offered a 9 / 10 SCORE  . . . for “ the bit I did “

THEN the R A asked a few few up to regail us with with PAST  stories to SHARE

Among them a  late night post relay River Walk looking for Platta Pussy’s ( ones that swim )

OR was that how to plat a  . . . pussy OR was it pat a pussy  Hmmm it was quite LATE

ANYWAY this happened at the township of BENDIMEER ‘ cos the BANANAS from up NORTH  come down

STRAIGHT  and  . . . we BEND ’ M HERE  .

Perhaps you had to to be there

THEN The next story the FAMOUS RELAY  the LARRIKINS ACTUALLY  “ WON “

in the Blue Mountains

It was a whole Year Later at the relay evening dinner  . Film footage of the previous years relay

was screened ( via Cam Corder . . no IPhones then ) 

There had been HOWLS of derision , EARLIER from the POSH and others

You cheated , we heard motor cross motor bikes , we heard hired horses galloping and so on As in ON ON ?

Slowly as the movie footage progressed on the BIG SCREEN . . .  There came INTO VIEW . . . A HELICOPTER

Flying low to a bush clearing landed  Leaping from the Chopper our then very own G M and actually running 

to the TRAIL

NEVER A  FINER MOMENT     in   “ Hashing skills “ ! !

The stunned silence from the POSH and others . . . you could have heard a pin drop

ON ON . . . oh . . .  SUCH LARRIKINS

On On
