Run 2599 – Jerrycan

Jerrycan and Bushie, Men’s Shed Mosman Park

Around 40 Hashmen turned up for Jerrycan’s run. Of those 14 took off on the run  leaving the rest to follow Phantom. It took a while to find the trail but was eventually located by Boner who took off at his usual frightening speed and before long the pack was well spread out . This continued with the backrunners playing catch up until 25 mins into the run when an excellent false trail and 4 way check brought the pack back together

From there we spread out again running through the limited bushland and eventually entering the Buckland Hill Reserve and Gun Battery which was certainly scenic. Shortly after we arrived at a drink stop complete with slices of watermelon and choice of drink. This again brought the pack back together and we were  about to leave when Mastitis (who was on his mobile for most of the run) and Antman appeared in the distance further delaying proceedings. From here we passed some pretty exclusive housing and massive limestone retaining walls to hit the walk trail above the river with good views of the Swan Yacht Club and Aquarama Marina. The run in was fairly long with the run taking in total a touch under the hour .

It was a good location for a run with use of the adjacent bushland , walkways and frequent steps . A few more false trails  and a bit more chalk would have helped but we managed to keep on trail and generally stay in touch.

Triple J was absent so Barcode managed the circle , advising all to be well behaved because the Mayor of Mosman Park was watching us from the Men’s Shed having challenged Jerrycan’s right to having the run and associated activities take place there. Fortunately no more was heard from him .Returnees included Dollar , Stewie and Boner with Softcock as a visitor.

Ringburner was absent on his birthday but provided a carton. It was claimed he was awaiting arrival of a bit of French Fluff at the airport so FT did the honours for him. As Moses had recently been to Brazil and Elvis had just returned he, Moses, was requested to comment on Brazil but declined stating he was more expert on Brazilians than the country. Barcode advised numbers registered for the 50th anniversary were around 100 and those who hadn’t expressed interest should do so Numbers were also requested for the Christmas lunch. Sunfish the Flasher was handling the raffle  with Nanny drawing the 10 of Hearts

FT took to the stand but had no international days of significance. He then advised that one of our members had his wheel clamped at a micro-brewery. Barefoot has the details.  Mastitis copped a mention for being on the phone while on the run and Barcode got the Bell for arriving late. The Hares were brought forth and given 7.5 for the run. The food was an excellent Chicken curry and Rice but a good share had been burnt to the bottom of both the pots.

All in all a good venue and evening.
