RUN REPORT by Colonoscopy

The large pack consisting of:

Fetchit, Frankly, Afterbirth, Balloon, Siberia, DWT, Lady Di, Laundro, Grange, Cod Piece, Bejesus, Bristle, Mongrel, Mother, Singapore Sling from Brisbane!, Stretch, Short Sheeter, He’ll Do, Twin Dicks, Chuck, visitor from Dubai and a few left out of this list with 24 at bucket

Pretzel arrived after 6.30pm, but only walked 30 metres from bucket!

With the run being set from 4pm, there were worrying signs of possible rain, so 1 kg of flower was used when a bit of rain started at 5pm. There were traffic controllers everywhere on the side roads next to the freeway, all with nothing to do as few cars.

With grey skies all headed off over the new walkway over the freeway. It had to be moved 30 metres because our previous runners walkway had it centre support in what in future will be the centre of a traffic lane, what a huge cost, but no difference for us!

There were two long runners diversions. For the walkers on their right when walking down the far side of the freeway could be seen the massive civil construction for the freeway above which surprised all those technical hashers.

The runners returned to the walkers route and did another diversion down into Neutral Bay before returning to the walkers, some commented that they saw the runners going past them several times!

All went on to Milsons Point rail station with the walkers going across on Fitzroy St to Alfred st with the runners going further on to view the opera house etc. before joining again the walkers on Alfred St going past the now apparently 90% complete cycleway.

Previously anyone wanting to ride their bike across the bridge has had to tackle 55 steep stairs at the northern end.  Now they have new landscaping of Bradfield Park and precinct, underground cabling, and streamlining of road, pedestrian and cycling traffic.

All then headed back up Arthur and Walker St to the bucket.

At the bucket Siberia was first to arrive complaining of sore knee with Bejesus at 7.15pm puffing and sweating with He’ll Do right behind him but not quite able to beat him.  How could Prince Andrew have said he never sweated?

The RA Mongrel called forward Singapore Sling for being down here from Brisbane. At least he though more of Larrikins than the Harriettes saying he had to go to the theatre on the Wednesday night!

A very infrequent hash friend of mine, Ian, knowing him from when 8 years old was given a Down Down.  He walked with DWT.  Ian had to explain how he came to be here after having not been on a run since before covid.

Balloon complemented the run saying it was very good with all the civil engineering being his field of endeavor giving it 9,9 but then dropped it to 8.88 with no explanation as to why! He said the road works would have been impossible to price with all the traffic changes etc.

All then moved to Percy’s North  Sydney hotel across the park, with still no rain, taking over the pub as usually happens on a quite Tuesday night.

On On,

Colonoscopy
