BOXING DAY WALK

Mount Pendeli

Thursday 26th December 2024

AH3 Event # 2265
Photographers: MD, FC, WD, SB
Note: From this year, the AH3 have taken over the organization of the Attache's Arms.
Due to severe erosion of the road, the tent had to be erected in the parking area.
   

 

 

 

Setting up the tent, etc.



Adrian shows the hashers how to erect the tent

 

The wind made it challenging

 

 

 

WD Checking the hot drinks

 

SB Ready to serve

 

The tent - assembled by 11:00 am and ready to serve

 

Most of those involved in assembling the tent were keen to go for the walk...
even though there was rain, wind, & mist on the mountain.

 

The hashers pose for a photo with Adrian

 

 

The Walk

Setting off with mixed feelings - remembering how the mountainside was before the 2024 forest fire

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Evidence of further soil erosion.
Only a 4WD vehicle can get up here now

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

AND BACK DOWN .......

 

TV poses to show the mist

 

And so does MD

 

 

Evidence that some results of the forest fire are stronger rainwater run-offs

 

 

 

Hot drinks for the walkers

Serving the traditional “Boxing Day Walk” Mulled Wine and Rum Punch

 

 

 



WD Takes care of the hot cauldrons

 

RJ with WD in the tent

 



Some visitors & the AH3 Organisers huddle together out of the rain

 

 

The rain pours down off the tent roof.

Who lost the sole of their new boot?

 

Time to pack up.
Mulled wine leftovers - can't waste any

 

TV comes up for air & then continues

 

Almost finished

 

Ahhh! Good to the last drop!

 

 

Charity collection

 

About 125 euros for the charity Aurora. Not bad, considering the weather.
