Keep the loonies on the path

Admire the Full Moon in the middle of summer on the eve of the 50th anniversary of the Moon Landing. A village that has in high probability never been brought in touch with Hash runs is Maria Lanzendorf, south of Vienna along the B11, old route that was the main connection to the motorway in direction of Hungary in the old days, before another connecting motorway, the S1 was opened 12 years ago.

Check the satellite Link! 


The meeting point which was the charming old train station (part of the Aspangbahn route) attracted the most usual suspect Mother Superior, OVH whose car was there already when we (S.Energy and yours truly) started to set the run. We successfully tiptoed our way by, not wanting to have a last minute's Cohare. (Though it must have been years when MS, OVH did set a run of his own. At the start time it was 13 Hashers altogether (with Free Willy inching his way towards OVH-status, only a few more runs to go) and that first part of the run we set leading through old back roads, then hitting the main road shortly, before running a bit on a levee alongside the waters of the Schwechat.



Some more quiet backroads and nice house to watch we got back onto the main road of the B11 for a short bit before taking this run home over the fields and alongside the train tracks (this and the station building would have been a dream come true for Lord Glo-Balls, OVH, Vindobonas Chief Engine Driver). In his absence it was left to Free Willy to chat a charming woman up whose dayshift at the railway station neared its end.



Short circle afterwards conducted by the Full Moon GM, featuring Newbie Just Michael. On-After at the nearby restaurant Toscana. Good food and effective service.
