Lakeside H3
RUN 1827 REPORT
HARES: Lube Oil and Lubang Oz
VENUE: Elgin Inn, Hawthorn
The northern chapter of Lakeside H3 gathered at the Elgin Inn for our first pub run for the year. The hare gave the usual explanation outside and we were off.
The trail allowed runners to break away and spread out the pack, but carefully placed on backs and some tricky checks pulled the pack back together to near the end. Walkers joined the runners briefly at the top end of Elgin Street, but the runners deviated down a familiar back lane and through several parks to get home.
There was some pre-run speculation about where the run might go, but it did not cross last weeks run and although the territory was familiar, it was well set and not easily predicted – right to the end.
WALK REPORT: By Mothball Score: 1400/1485
The walk set off up Burwood Road then deviated through a park to Glenferrie Oval where there were lots of budding footballers playing and training. The trail was well marked and with very precise arrows, but there was no on back marked in the dead end alley (the hare’s defence was “Where else would you go?”). All three walkers kept together and beat the runners home, so it was a very good walk.
RUN REPORT: By No Balls Score: 1482/1485
It was a very enjoyable run passing through the streets and parks of Hawthorn including Glenferrie Oval where there were lots of fellas in sexy shorts. The trail went most of the way around the oval, including a small deviation past the swimming pool, then through the underpass and up through the old Swinburne Higher Institute of Technology (SHIT). It the meandered through the streets, parks and reserves up to Barkers Road and similarly back home. There were lots of ‘grassy trees’ and plenty of parks and the timing was good with the walkers.
