Jenset was licking her lips at the prospect of getting into the Tucker headlined above. She was not to be disappointed. The Tom Kha Gai was very tasty. An enormous pack of 37 runners headed off up Rocklands drive on pink tape at 6.00pm. The rain stopped just as we galloped away. The run headed across Rocklands drive to the rain forest at the back of the Hospital, then a false trail and an ‘on back’ across a path to the beach road near the Free Beach. The short cutters cut back to Rocklands drive on a path which was being repaired and had no bridges across the shiggy, so they got Shiggyfied. The real run continued along to Dripstone Cliffs, up Trower and back along Rocklands and home. Everybody was home by 6.45pm.

BACK AT THE TRAILER
We all gathered around the verandah at Rices place and the rain mostly kept away for the evening.

THE BOOZE
