A lovely group of Lakesiders (and two visitor/virgins/newcomers) joined in for some fun at Inverloch on Saturday 20th February to celebrate Bollywood’s birthday.
Botak Chin set the run through the suburb of Inverloch, winding around the streets, up the hill, and then down through the camping ground and to the eastern end of town to the Bass Coast Shir Council’s Native Vegetation Offset Scheme is located. He sent the runners up the path on a loop to look for the wildlife while the walkers were sent back along the beach. The tide was way out in Anderson Inlet. Lots of families were on the beach playing cricket and going out in the sea up to their knees. (I don’t think it got much deeper than that.) Eventually the arrows – which along the beach were a bit sparse – got us to the Inverloch yacht club where Botak had arranged for us to have drinks on the back deck. We waited for Udder and Gargoyle to turn up – they had missed the arrows and hadn’t listened to the instructions and actually ended up back at the start. We drank another bottle of plonk while we waited. That’s when we also realised that cheap 6% white wine from ALDI is not worth buying or drinking! When we finished the stuff we wandered back to the start for the down downs and then Botak’s baked chicken drumsticks, Bollywood’s oodles of noodles and E&B’s chocolate pavlova.
All finished up just before sunset and we wandered off in different directions.
The run was scored 1980 out of 1987. The walk was a little lower at 1900. We all agreed that more weekend runs were required!
See happy snaps attached.
