HARE: Codpiece
VENUE: Sturt Street Reserve, South Melbourne
RETURNEES: Peanuts, Gargoyle, Codpiece, Old Boar, Lost Jewels, Kathryn, Udder Idjit
RUN REPORT: By Cheesecake – The Runners kind of took off around streets in South Melbourne, went down Eastern Road, towards Albert Park Lake. At Albert Road They met Cooch, who had been pushing young Tahlia along on her bike, Kokup and NickelB; all waiting, waiting for the traffic light to turn green so they could cross the road. One of these 3 engineers pondered “how long does it take for these lights to change?” Young Tahlia replied “You have to press the Walk button.” The lights split the pack with Lost Jewels and Prince bolting ahead and disappearing over the pedestrian bridge and near St Kilda Rd. We ran through Fawkner Park to the corner of Punt Road and Toorak Road, caught up to the FRB’s and never saw Udder again (SCB).
For the Football supporters among us, Melbourne are 5th on the Ladder, Collingwood are about 12th on the Ladder, while Hawthorn are 16th. Then running, running, running through South Yarra, everyone was strung out. Finally back to St. Kilda Road, down to Dorcas Street and On Home.
Scored – 80/96
WALK REPORT: By Lethal – Quite interesting and we got to where the 3 engineers had to be told by a child, Tahlia, to push the button so the lights would change to cross Albert Road. The walkers followed the run trail to St Kilda Road and Fawkner Park, before splitting from the runners but Cut Loose and E&B had disappeared earlier. We eventually went down to Dorcas St, rounding the corner to Kings Way, where Mothball and I found Punch and Rigby and crossed Sturt St, on Home to Codpiece and Old Boars delicious dips, flat bread and warming gluhwein.
Scored – 69/96
