HHH Hash Trash August 31

Chunder has been battling the lurgy for weeks and not even GonZo's tender ministrations and job list minimisation to just the really difficult jobs has brought him back to health.  Understandably, Chunder has passed in his 'sick note' and will not be setting this week's trail, which is just as well as the chimney needs scrubbing from the inside.

Instead, Chunder's twin brother, Grizzly, has stepped up to the mark, foregoing the traditional one Sunday a year where he can justly rest so that he can set the 'Father of all trails'.

The r*n will start at 3:30pm Sunday 2nd September from the Romaine Reserve car park.  Even Slack Mac knows where that is.

Bring a hat, mug, friend from Brisbane and a joke.  Bring extra money to be ripped off by winning first prize in the raffle and getting wrapping paper while third prize wins a bottle of wine.  Worth every cent.

DT is celebrating her XXXX birthday on Saturday night with a knees-up at Ringo and Dini's, 448 West Mooreville Road, Burnie.  All hashers are invited to help celebrate her coming of old age - BYO whatever.  Travellers from afar are welcome to pitch a tent in the Monty Munden Memorial Camping Ground.

Waratah weekend pics

Pictures from the 900th Run weekend at Waratah are now up on the Burnie H3 Flickr site (http://www.flickr.com/photos/21624049@N00/sets/).  Incriminating photos have not been uploaded and can be purchased for exorbitant prices.

HHH Hash Trash August 24

We haven't had a lot of success when it comes to letting Devonport hashers loose as hares for Burnie H3 trails, so it is with some trepidation that we let Dyke lead us into the Meander Valley as trail blazer for Hashing Old Farts Trek #5.  The plan is to walk to Meander Falls - about 8km with a reasonable climb.

HOFTs are asked to meet at Mackeys Royal Hotel car park, 161 Gilbert Street, Latrobe, at 8:30am, before setting off to the trek starting point for a 10:00am 'off'.

It is expected (hoped) that the trek will conclude at around 3:00pm, from where the pack will adjourn to Latrobe for de-brief and a meal.

Bring everything you may need for a walk of this type.  According to the discovertasmania web site, you should take: sturdy walking shoes or boots, clothes to suit the weather of the day, raincoat, woollen jumper or fibre pile jacket, thermal leggings or shorts rather than long cotton trousers or jeans (cotton becomes soaked in wet weather and will cool the body), warm hat or beanie, warm gloves, waterproof trousers, gaiters (if you have them), lunch and drink, map.

See http://www.touringtasmania.info/meander_falls.htm for a description of the walk.

Next R*n - No. 906

Sunday 19th August 2007, 3:30pm start
Hare: Lone Arranger
On on: 64 River Road, Wynyard (click here for map)
Hash cash: $10
Bring: hat, mug, joke, friend, piece of wood, chair and money for rigged raffle

This is a farewell to Blue and Nanna Marj, who are off to sell themselves to miners in Western Australia (I hope they have plenty of change).

HHH Hash Trash August 17

Second only to Isandula Road, the farm at 64 River Road, Wynyard has been a regular home to Burnie Hash. Well, maybe not a home - more like a frequent public toilet.

That will soon change when Nanna Marj and Blue ups stumps to seek fortune and randy miners in the heartland of Western Australia. Hare Lone Arranger will be sending the pack on a reminiscing tour of all the best runs set around and through the farm (which really just a fancy way of saying we've run it to death and any trail set on Sunday will look the same as any previous). Start time is 3:30pm.

Bring hat, mug, joke, piece of wood, friend, chair and toilet paper (because everything has been put in storage!) - bring extra cash for rigged raffle.

Dickhead of the week - R*n 905

DT
For trying to lure little boys into her car by offering sweeties

Ecology for Daisy

Some Burnie hashers would no doubt remember the two white 'Westies', part of the Patsy and Haggis clan, running freely around the Penguin Caravan Park on one of their holidays up north.

For those who remember, I post the following...

Ecology for a dog

Daisy, a Westhighland Terrier of great character, died tragically when on a mission from her home at Bellingham Estate Winery.

Much loved and cherished pack member of Patsy, Haggis and Bobby and generous friend of Slack Mac and Tals. She was ever alert to danger and ready with a bark.

Vale Daisy

Daisy moved on to that kennel in the sky some weeks ago, but it was only today that I found the 'ecology' penned in her memory. I should have some photos in the archive; if they can be located I will post one at a later date.
