Run: #2276 – A night of feasting @ the Peregian Mozzie Pond…

By Dave Masters | 16/01/2024

Date/Time: Monday 15/1/24, 5pm
Location: Peregian Springs
Hares: Beams

It was great to return to a run location where we haven’t been for a while and we know that the locals were definitely expecting us – the MOZZIES! Whilst Mozzie wasn’t physically there, she didn’t disappoint us with her large extended family out in force to feast upon the Hashers! I think the Duck Pond may need to be renamed to the Peregian Mozzie Pond…

The trail skirted in and out around the Peregian Springs housing estate with lots of checks, on backs, twists and turns that we felt we double backed on ourselves for most of the time. Many of the cul-de-sacs had paths that led onto different streets and took us around the Peregian Springs Golf course. The entire pack of 8 runners keep together and hot on their heels was an athlete in disguise of a walker – Top Down. She even admitted that she did a half decent time at the Park Run last weekend! Having said that, the remaining walkers didn’t do too badly either having returned to the bucket within the hour.

The run/fast walker report was given by Top Down – a very delightful 5km jaunty essentially around the Peregian Springs Golf Club which we managed to dodge some soggy grassy bits. There was no need for separate reports seeing Top Down was definitely an overachiever for the walkers but kept up with the runners. The FGM spruiked the ‘Not the Australia Day’ weekend away in Imbil which is only 2.5 weeks away. The following week is the AGPU where we have received 3 nominations for the next GMship. We are also encouraging/open for those who wish to be on the committee but not wanting to the GM role.

The Down Downs were given to:

Visitors: Bleeding Down Below (Belgium Hash) and cousin, Just Sam (England) visiting her Father on the Sunshine Coast
Lazy Prick – is next week’s hare but was being very doubtful of the RA’s Anti Rain App ability and is already preparing for his run to be a wash out like last time
Wetcheck – birthday girl exactly today!
Reverse Thrust got the Hashit Award for extracurricular activities on the run involving undoing zippers with teeth

Thanks for the trail and supper, all expertly done single handed by our hare Beams! We cleared and packed up the picnic area, leaving one poor gluten free sausage. Unfortunately, it wasn’t only the sausage left, it was poor Kondom and Wetcheck who had car troubles. They finally got towed and was home at 9:45pm. It wasn’t exactly the birthday that Wetcheck had wished for!

On On
