Lakeside H3
RUN 1799 REPORT
HARE: Prince
VENUE: Terminus Hotel, Queen’s Parade Fitzroy North
Runners arrived seeking their noble Prince, who was sick at home, nowhere to be found. Searching through the Bistro then up a flight of stairs to an empty dining room they found The GM, Punch & Rigby. Swingers, first on the scene cried ‘No Hare, what are we going to do?’ Kokup hurried down to the Bistro to greet & direct the arriving Runners and bring some menus upstairs.
Downstairs, the Barman pointed out the night’s specials, e.g. Beef Wellington for $65.90, cheap at half the price? Having ordered their meals most of us carried up cutlery, serviettes, glasses and bottles of water to set the bare dinner tables.
Outside the GM welcomed the Returnees to muttering s of “How are we going to find trail?” and “Which way’s Out?” So Kokup told them everything he knew, “Prince has valiantly laid trail; It’s on and out over the Bridge”.
RUN REPORT: By Sweaty Box. We ran out under the bridge and found three on backs in the first 300m of trail. It was a nice 7Km Run heading along the Merri Creek, through parks and suburban streets with lots of four way checks until the much vaunted five way check in Darling Gardens. We did find a nice steep hill and the pack was kept together fairly well. The trail markings were a bit scarce but there were more arrows than normal for a Prince Run.
Scored – 86/99
WALK REPORT: By Swingers. On Out to the left of the hotel we walked under the railway bridge. There were no hills. The trail split and the walkers headed a long, long way up beside the railway line, then turned left to a weakly marked trail, lost trail and turned back for home, arriving 10 minutes after the FRB’s. The walk was 6.7 km.
Scored – 69/99
