Despite a forecast of 39 degrees, we had the pleasure of a mild summer morning set on the idyllic Swan River foreshore at Pelican Point, adjacent to UWA – refer to map in photos.
The runners trail set by hares APITW and Phantom went clockwise – after a false trail anticlockwise – initially along the foreshore before cutting into desirable Nedlands suburbia, and circling back through the southern end of UWA. Front-runners included Mastitis, Q, and the visitors (names unknown) with a total of 11 runners including Rumpole (last seen heading down a short-cut). Run length was recorded by the front runners at 6.72km in 39 minutes & although not officially scored it can be said that it was well marked with sufficient FTs & checks to keep the pack in contact – great effort!
Prior to the circle a council ranger was observed to park nearby causing a flurry of concern to those choosing the “free” parking option.
The circle was a brief affair with On Sec Rimmer acknowledging returnees including Gumby, and the un-named visitors (x3). Also seen were Kilkenny, Flasher & Putrid. Pembo provided the joke about a couple choosing to divorce after many years to entice the kids home for Christmas.
Breakfast was burgers with eggs, bacon, sausages, tomatoes & sauce – expertly cooked by Horse and Dick Tracey and washed down with champers and OJ.
Where else would you be?
