RUN 301 DETAILS - HARE PEE DUB

                    NORTHERN BEACHES HASH HOUSE HARRIERS PREVIOUS RUN REPORT

        NBH3 Run 300 - Hares MONGREL and OLD HAND

                    FRENCHY'S CAFE OFF MIDDLE HEAD ROAD,  MOSMAN

                                                      5TH JULY, 2026.

The day dawned bright and sunny, perfect for a Hash run. Then the afternoon became dark and foreboding, and, true to form, it rained. But this was the NBH3, so who cares, not the 28 dedicated Hashers who turned up. Now the Hash normally run/walk in shorts and t-shirt, but not this day. Long pants and sweaters were the order, and that was everybody.

Old Hand and Mongrel were the hares, and they had set a run down and around the area which used to form part of the navel installation which is now Sydney Harbour National Park. We were sent off by the GM, Maid Marion, rain jackets and umbrellas in hand. Down to the bottom of Chowder Bay Rd, past Georges Head and Obelisk Bay beach, where a quick look revealed no nude bathers (hello sailor) sunning (!) themselves. Around the gun emplacements and ammunition tunnels and then a trek up past HMAS Penguin which finally came back to Frenchy's Cafe.

The hares arranged us to be under cover and the GM called a circle. The Hares were thanked, we were treated  to a brief history of the area, and then it was time for the regular NBH3's to receive their 300 run t-shirts, a surprise gift which the committee deemed deserving.

Next was the food: a Mexican mincemeat and bean dish which Mongrel had put together. Don't forget the chili and cheese. It was heated up and served in bowls and was delicious. I had seconds. And there was enough for all 28 of us. Perfect food for the day. The GM had put together chocolate crackles, the ones with rice bubbles and chocolate holding them together. Just like mum used to make, a great feed. 

And so it was off to the warmth and dry of our cars, another successful NBH3 event concluded.

Next month P Dud will be our Hare and run will be from 13 Holly Street Castle Cove. 2nd house on right after the oval.
