Run 1800 | 30th August 2017 | Astro @ Bells Hotel, South Melbourne

HARE: Committee (Astro)

VENUE: Bell’s Hotel, Moray Street South Melbourne

Forty two hashers and a dog turned up to celebrate LH3’s 1800th run.  The venue was the large upstairs room at Bell’s and got off to a good start with Cut Loose handing out the rain jackets to hashers who had purchased them. Great to see Pol Pot , Irish and Boner who were Lakesiders years ago. What a surprise to find 3 visitors from US Naval Ship Bonhomme Richard, who are on R&R for a week in Melbourne. Cod Piece made a beeline to their table, resisting saying “Hello Sailor” found that Justin runs with San Diego H3 while Dylan and Tanner were new to Hash. Was Justin trying to lead these tender souls astray?

The noisy pack assembled outside Bell’s while Astro explained the trail markings, then it was On On west for the runners and On On East for the walkers.  By some combination of luck, good trail setting and short cutting, the runners and most of the walkers arrived at the drink stop at about the same time.  Those who walked the run trail staggered in afterwards.  And what a drink stop!  Gargoyle and Astro poured bubbly into fluted glasses, Kokup served Hash Splash, the beer and soft drinks. We enjoyed Gargoyle’s famous cob loaf filled with spinach dip, plenty of nibblies and other dips, also sweets to keep everyone happy. The party ended when the alcohol was finished with the pack heading back to Bell’s.

RUN REPORT:                 By Cooch, scored 1250/1800

A very well laid trail, lots of arrows and plenty of Checks. Astro made a good attempt to take us around the sites of Melbourne which included the Art Gallery Spire and the Tan Track at the Botanic Gardens, but we did not run into the nearby grassy areas with all the trees. Trail went through the Shrine of Remembrance even though it’s illegal to run at the Shrine, passing the lit up fountain, over St Kilda Road, leading us to our traditional drink stop beside Albert Park Lake. However, one Check was at a very busy intersection, so the Runners who broke the Check got well ahead of those Runners looking for trail in the opposite direction, who were held up by the traffic lights and got left behind the front Pack.

WALK REPORT:             By Behind Bars, scored 1722/1800

It was a seriously difficult and long Walk, we turned left, then right, then L & R, then L & R, oh, no straight ahead trails. Having walked past the Shrine we did see a nicely back lit fountain. The weather was fine but Cyclone Tracy felt cold all night. The Drink Stop was good and the night lights across Albert Park Lake created a nice view.

HARE: Astro on behalf of the Committee.

Thank you, Astro.
