Apparently, not a lot of preparation was put into this run, as, at the appointed time, Tone Up announced that the run was to be a "Live Hare" run, and that the first leg was to be form her place to the Albury-Wodonga Private Hospital and that the pack could take any route they wanted. Well, naturally, the pack decided on the most direct (i.e. shortest) route, or so they thought, heading down Clinton Ave and up Spurway to Pemberton St rather then heading up Clinton to Mott St then across to Pemberton St.. Anyway, down Pemberton St the pack headed to the corner with Padman Dr., to the Hash Halt. However, the Hare could not be bothered waiting for the walkers, so headed the pack back up Pemberton St for a fair way, but, still not finding the walkers, headed the pack back down Pemberton St, this time sent them up Somerset Dr., heading, or so the pack thought, for Chelsea Dr., her old stamping ground. But no, after she waited at the Pemberton St-Somerset Dr corner, waited for the tailending walkers, and eventually they arrived, so the Hare called the pack "On Back" claiming this section was a False Trail. (How the pack was really supposed to know is beyond me.)

When the pack were re-assembled, the Hare announced that the next leg of the trail was up Southernview Dr. to the third intersection on the left. So off the pack set, and, when they had arrived at the appropriate intersection, Tone Up said that the Wimps could head straight "On Home" whilst the Rambos could head, with her, up Southernview Crt. It being a dead end, the Rambos were soon heading "On Back" and catching and passing the Walkers. At about the time the pack frontrunners were turning into Mott St, the weather turned very inclement, so the pack were well and truly wet by the time they made it "On Home".

The pack may have been pleased with last weeks Nosh of two courses, soup and, but Tone Up made full use of her lodger, a chef, so Nosh was three courses, Pork Crackling, Full roast meat and vegies followed by Chocolate Cake, Lamingtons and, especially for Bandit, Apple Pie.
