Run: #2244 – a touch of déjà vu…

A touch of déjà vu…

Date: Monday 15/5/23
Location: Tewantin
Hares: Screamer & Unremarkable

It’s the sense or feeling of having previously experienced something that really has been encountered before. Here we are back in Tewantin, Griffith Ave, fire, Ma’ Dog – there’s some sort of weird connection going on.

The moment we stepped out onto Griffith Ave, the runners and the walkers were already divided with the walkers going one way and the runners in the opposite direction. The runners did a massive 2.5km loop from Griffith Ave, Park View Ct, through the Heritage Park Bushland, Carramar St and Golf Course Dr. Fortunately, there were a number of runners: Nafa, Next Week, All Fours, Recharge, Lech, Beams, Miss Bossy Boots, Biggles and Lazy Prick as there many checks and on backs to contend with. From each check, the arrows were very sparsely marked for at least 500m apart until we counted 3 in a row to be on!

With the runners having done their first loop, there was another loop joining onto the walkers trail along Golf Course Dr, Harry’s Short Cut, Homestead Dr, through Daintree Park and back along Golf Course Dr to home. We did manage to catch up with Slurps and Possum who led us back onto trail over the creek. There was a surprise drink stop of ginger beer along the way, manned by Unremarkable who was a little delayed in getting to the drink stop as he was trying to light the fire but had to pour some white spirits onto it and left it with Screamer in charge. If I remember correctly, back in Feb on Ma’ Dog & Screamer’s run he also gave up with the rice half cooking and left it with Screamer to deal with it. Upon arriving home, there was a fabulous fire to welcome us – so warm and toastie!

Omo gave the walkers report – a very nice well marked run from virgin reporter to virgin hares while Beams gave the runners report. A most delightful run of 5.56km which took under an hour with the walkers and runners returning the same time.

Here’s some charges for the week:

• Breathless tried to give ‘No Name Sue’ a name as he was showing us her bag packed full of everything – ready for all occasions. Perhaps some names along the lines of: Girl Guide, Boy Scout, Ready for Anything, Ready for Action, Mrs MacGyver?
• Recharge had a gash on his forehead – not one but a fresh one in the same place when he walked into his metal trailer – didn’t he learn the first time?
• Hashers absent for a while: Omo, Lazy Prick, Mad Dog and Floosie
• Hashers away at Darwin Nash Hash: Licker (during the Red Dress run, an indigenous woman in the streets watching fancied an old overweight hasher’s red dress that she started to give chase, Holy Smoke (gave a synopsis of a well organised event, with the next one in Fremantle), Mother Trucker and Slurps
• Red Knob who now proudly handles the Beer Meister duties, in his last haul of recycling cans and bottles from the hash p*ssheads was $400!  After trying the Lorry Boys beer, he thought was a bit ‘sissy’ and would rather drink VB – made for real men!
• Raffle was won by Dennis the Menace (yet to be officially named!)

What a great night, great trail, great food (chili con carne to warm us on the insides), great fire and great company! I don’t know why Ma’ Dog was so worried for this virgin hare as Unremarkable had it all under control with Screamer in charge. Thanks for your hospitality!
