Run 1804 | 6th September 2017 | Cut Loose @ Home, Albert Park

HARE: Cut Loose

VENUE: Little Finlay Street, Albert Park

THEME:  Astro’s 69th Birthday run on the 6th of the 9th

The 31 Hashers arriving to celebrate Astro’s lucky 69th were welcomed with a 69er cocktail. Appropriate, somehow. Enjoying a chat and cheerily raising our glasses to the birthday boy, it was difficult to go back out to the cold night air where it promptly began to drizzle again. Luckily we were well primed and the light sprinkle soon stopped, thanks to Astro’s influence as R.A.  The hare had not been able to lay trail because of the heavy rain earlier and had prepared an envelope run.   Numbered envelopes with instructions for this wet weather Run were given to runners with instructions not to open the next envelope until all runners had arrived.  Then it was on on to the roundabout where the first envelope could be opened.

RUN REPORT:  By Hooray C. O.:               Scored 68 ½ (and ¾) out of 69

Hooray C. O. thought it felt good to have a letter in her pocket and after the first envelope was opened the pack ran up to Victoria Street, opened number 2 and then on to the beach with the lovely fresh scent of the sea breeze.  More envelope instructions led us down to the reservation in Kerferd Road. The Run took us through Middle Park, past Albert Park Lake, then up through the Aquatic Centre for a cheeky walk through the building. Then it was back to Albert Park for a pleasant run through St, Vincent’s Garden, and On Home.

WALK REPORT: By Pegmatite:                Scored 70/69

The Walk also took us to the beach but we didn’t get to the lake. We did see the sea which was very nice and the trail was flat. It was also nice to have envelopes. The trail led along Kerferd Road to Farrar Street, past the Pacific Rim restaurant which used to be a favourite venue with Bovine Breeder. On to St Vincent’s Gardens and along Bridport Street where Rigby noticed that the famous Annabelle’s Bakery was still closed for renovations. After 9 months it truly will be rebirthed, under a different name and different proprietor. It was an excellent walk leading On Home down Merton Street . Cut Loose greeted us with a warming spicy pumpkin soup followed by the yummiest curried beef with rice and a big birthday cake. Well done C.L.

Kathryn – Named “Let Me Look”, following many beaut suggestions and a democratic show of hands. (For those that can’t remember it resulted from Lotsafun trying to pronounce ‘Nitmiluk’, the aboriginal name for Katherine Gorge and an inebriated RA trying to repeat what he thought he heard).
