Dear Lakeside Hashers
We are in for a treat this week. Hampton! Now how close to the beach is that? Me, Im from landlocked Northcote, postcoad 3070. I stare at Melways page 76 and envisage a run that  takes us closer to the sea and the running tracks of sand which makes one want to throw off the running shoes and … go for a paddle! Ooh the sand between the toes!. And yes, we also welcome Cheesecake and Back Again back to Hash. We have missed you! We know your run will be a beauty so come along Hashers, take the train away from the city,  feel the sea breeze in your hair, kick up your heels and  … enjoy!
