THE HARE

The hare descrbing his run

All downhill? Tell another one.

RUN AND WALK

The trail starts off level but not for long

Tender Vittles pushes 2-year old Violetta up the steep rough-concrete-surfaced slope

How did they get the truck up this slope to deliver the concrete?

A view down the hill to give an idea of the angle of the slope

Another photo opportunity on the hilltop

We head on down - but lose the trail on the way

We spot two crickets mating. Never seen this before. The female is the larger of the two.

Yes, yes, yes!

They are in no hurry and not bothered by our presence

Winter flowers

We head down to the road and meet up with the walkers

Doggy Style pushing the (empty) push-chair walks with Leanover

Family snap: Violetta, Krazie Puppy, Tender Vittles and Sebastian

Five-year old Sebastian had joined the runners at the road for the last half but had difficulty in the long grass

Beer Stop - with beer previously hidden in the bushes by the hare

Someone had blasted the road sign with buckshot.

There were used shotgun cartridges littering the whole area - which is obviously popular with hunters.

We finally spot one of the hare's rust-coloured flour trail markers in the grass

Back down the steep hill to the start

HASHER'S CIRCLE

Leanover not quite ready to join the circle

The hare's down-down - accompanied by his special song

GM Mad Dog admits photographing sex-on-the-hash (the mating crickets)

Suddenly a stick insect appears

The brown stick insect on Mad Dog's hand.

Then shortly afterwards a smaller green one appeared on the ground. Another first for us.

Down, down, down

TV's bitch, bitch, bitch routine for FC complaining about the trail on trail

Clitoria asks - what's happening next week? Marathon 10k or 5k?

Rim Job finishes up his drink after the circle. What? a coke?
