On the Beach: A 1959 movie about post apocalyptic Australia starring Gregory Peck and Ava Gardner.
On the Beach: A 2017 gathering of hashers in post apocalyptic Tuggeranong starring Crash and Burn.
 
A big warm thank you to the work experience girl who somehow managed to produce a set of semi readable Hash notes(AKA chicken
scratchings) over the christmas holidays.
 
Anyway, back to the important matters at hand - Hash trash
The stand in RA lasted about 4 nano seconds before being ousted by a very bewildered looking FRIZZY LIZZIE 
We nervously parked our cars, mentally catalogued everything in the vehicles that we thought we were unlikely to see again, listened
to the verbose chalk talk and set off into the Tuggy heartland.
 
PIMP described a wonderful run through the Tuggy highlands, touched on the magnificent views, the undulations, the moistness, the 
atrocious markings (or in tuggy speak - taggings), the dangerous areas we encroached on such as running within the splinter arcs of 
the Archery range, the overspray areas of the graffitti school and through an all in brawl between two rival asian skate board gangs.  
McTaf waxed lyrical about the joys of running through urban areas, the clatter of feet on cobblestones and the pleasures of dragging 
a torch on a corregated fences to stir up every dog between Tuggy and Frankston. Arrrrr those were the days.
 
Dangles had promised us bush but MIGHTY APHRODITE was not forthcoming. It took a while to establish that DANGLES trail actually
and controversialy pointed in the actual direction that he wanted us to run / walk. Bloody Neotrailists and their forward thinking ideas.

We all celebrated CRASH and BURNs 61st run
