Did the usual thing, walked from Southbank to Toowong after work, taking around 45 minutes.
Coronation Drive was like a car park, there were traffic delays all over Brisbane for some reason.
The weather was showery, warm, and storms threatened.
Got to the RE and found that they had their annual Beach Party on, and access to the Post Office car park via the pub was blocked off. Had to go right round and come in from the High Street alleyway. Usually the party is on a Thursday, very inconvenient of them to change it to our Hash night.
Due to the traffic chaos around the city a lot of the members hadn't turned up by the designated start time so we waited a while before setting off on the Girl's Gallop Run. Surprise visitors were Catgut, Grewsome and Wee Lassie, from Breakfast Creek Hotel Hash, who had decided to try out a night with the RE.
The Girl's Gallop run goes through Toowong Village, turns right on Jephson Street, and heads
across Sylvan Street, along Croydon, crosses Milton Road into Morley, turns right into Gregory St, left. into Musgrave and right again into Frederick St along side the cemetary. Then there's a long climb up to Birdwood for a regroup. The group at this stage consisted of Peewee, Grewsome, Catgut, JC, Royal Screw, Rhubarb, with me and Brengun staggering up in the rear.
After the regroup it's down Birdwood all the way to Torwood, where we turn right and invariably wait at the lights to cross Milton Road again. The run then carries on along Eagle Tce for a little while, then under the railway line on Camford St, turns right into Kilroe, lrft into Roy, and makes its way to under Coronation Drive via the car park building to the bike-way and back to the RE.
As I am still trying to regain my fitness after a 3 month layoff, I dropped way back and ended up shortcutting back via Eagle Tce, and Wests Rugby grounds, along with Screw, who is struggling with injuries.
The OnOn was transferred to the gaming bar at the RE as our usual bar had been overrun by students at the beach party.
