RUN REPORT by Brengun

Setting the Larrikins run over the new Warringah Expressway bridge then around Milson Park came with the surprise of passing countless police lines near Admiralty House – all looking rather bored and waiting for action. The oddly dressed Hash Hare sporting daypack and scribbling large chalk arrows at their feet was not unnoticed. Pressing on regardless the brave Hash Hare continued marking arrows down through and past the police cordon until finally pursued by police. Explanations showing his run map caused great amusement.

“What is Hash” they asked?

This map was then shown to commanding police in charge and now to a group of ten police who were curious also. “We wont let you through in two hours” they said. “Where will the blockage be”? “Sorry cant say”. So a helpful seargant suggested I run back down and reset a run diverting off from Carrabella Street to Peel St and Upper Pitt St then down to rejoin the run at the Jeffry St Wharf. “Good luck but runners wont be able to cross in front of cars when the Motorcade passes at 7pm” he said smiling.

So away Hash went. Apparently all hashers ignored the police suggested and marked deviation but followed the original hash trail to the police blockade which allowing passage on the footway. The faithful were led past the police cordon down to the harbour on an unmarked trail by smart and trustworthy He’ll Do. Apparently the Motorcade for Israel Prime Minister did pass at 7pm and all had to wait. But the trail resumed around the harbour, past Luna Park and through Watt Park to the Bucket.

Two visitors were announced, Terry and Lynn, friends of Mrs Shoes, and a rather poor unappreciated score was mentioned when all then went to Billy Barry Pub.

(ed note: I recall hearing a score of 9.2 – not too shabby!)
