HHH Hash Trash 27 March 2009

This Sunday's Burnie Hare is as English as a failing cricket team, as Irish as a dees'l fid'er and as Scottish as a bone-chilling mist.  She's the painted lady with the long dog and mobile postcode, and she's setting trail from the top car park at Fern Glade Reserve, Burnie.

Be ready for a 5:30pm on on call and bring a hat, mug, friend, piece of wood, joke, auger, $10 for food and bucket and extra cash for a dibble in GonZo's rigged raffle.

-------------------------------
According to last week's poll there's no consensus on when a HOFT should be set, so let's leave it up to the tried and true system of waiting for volunteers.

This week's poll is: W?

HHH Hash Trash 20 March 2009

At one stage in man's evolution, someone went for a walk to enjoy the view, rather than to hunt or to root. That man was probably gay, which brings us to this week's Burnie hash trail, which isn't because it's a mini HOFT (Hashing Old Farts Trek) led by DH hasher Dyke.

The flourless ramble starts at noon near the 'hole in the road', more correctly Googled as Blackwood Park motocross track on Dial Road, Penguin.

View Larger Map

Dyke assures us that, other than a moderate descent at the start (and ascent on return), the trail is flat. Ish. Expected walking time is two hours each way. On return, the pack will adjourn to a Penguin pub for a meal.

Bring all the gear you need for a day walk in Tasmania, and bring all the gear you need for a HOFT led by a DH hasher (torches, EPIRB, chainsaw, etc).

-------------------------------
Effy the Emu will not be a victim of the global economic crisis according to last week's poll. Ten respondents voted to leave the Burnie Hash logo as it is, leaving only two people wanting a different logo and one having no idea what the Burnie logo looked like.

This week's poll is: How often should HOFTs should be held?

HHH Hash Trash 13 March 2009

Beware the Ides of March!  (I could murder a Caesar salad)

This Sunday's Burnie Hash trail (15th March) is being set by a mystery hare - it's so much of a mystery that the hare doesn't even know yet!  What we do know is that trail will magically appear starting from the car park off Bass Highway at the western end of Cooee.  Despite it being the Ides of March, the theme for the run will be St Patrick's Day, so wear something green (also, togas are being saved up for the AGPU).

R*n starts at 5:30pm; bring $10 for food and grog, a hat, mug, joke, friend, et tu Brute, piece of wood and extra cash for GonZo's Guinness raffle.

-------------------------------
The people have spoken in an overwhelming fashion.  Despite some shadowy-figures-in-training trying to silence democracy, poll voters staged a late surge to vote all four suggested themes equal, with 42,887 votes each!  Amazing!  All themes involved togas, so get your bed linen ready for the upcoming Burnie AGPU!

This week's poll is: Should the Burnie H3 logo (featuring the hare and emu) be changed??

HHH Hash Trash 06 March 2009

The long weekend approaches, full of promise of jobs done (weatherboards), drinks consumed (after weatherboards) and pigs flown (finishing weatherboards after drinks).

Whether you're bored or not, this week's mid-weekend trail set by Ringo will be a bushy bash through the wild west of Burnie's hinterland.  I'll give you a hint - head to Highclere shop, say hi to Clare, then look for signs (if it's a burning bush, run) (better still, you got there in the car, so drive).

R*n starts at 5:30pm; bring $10 for food and grog, a hat, mug, joke, friend, August, piece of wood and extra cash for GonZo's fire-sale raffle.

-------------------------------
The most appropriate way to celebrate Burnie's 1000th r*n, according to the poll, is simply to drink the night away.  No 70s clothes, no M-styled fashion, and definitely no togas.

This week's poll is: What should be the theme for the Burnie AGPU?
