McCarthy Kids Hash 2010

A couple of weeks ago it was our turn to lay the runs for the kids hash. We chose my favourite jungle at Lucky Gardens, which despite having a big chunk of it razed a year ago, is still a very enjoyable area to walk with its familiar and very well used Gurkha trails. We laid the three runs in the morning aided by two good friends and even with four of us we only came out the jungle well past 11 - many thanks again to you both! Unfortunately where we wanted to start the runs was too muddy so we had to make changes making them longer than we intended. The toddler run which normally should take 15 mins was longer at 25-30 mins and I was told later actually was close to 1.5km!

Going on a tangent here but after a shower Donncha felt a splinter/thorn just under his skin on his leg so I took out the tweezers and pulled out this massive splinter! - sorry a bit icky but I just had to include the picture.


Back to the site in the the afternoon to see all the hashers go in. It was a good response to all three walks despite quite a few missing the turn off for the middle run and ending up doing the long (including Iman and her friends). Jack chose not to join us instead going to the cinema to watch Shrek thus he missed out on the family "down-down"! On ya head!
