Some Assembly is required

Vienna not only is very well known for the vast amount of vineyard areas within its city limits (read more about it here),  there are also plenty of green areas to make the weekly runs of the World's Worst interesting and diversified.

What are you looking at?

Located a bit on the Eastern edge of Vienna, the vast area of the Lobau, which forms part of the Nationalpark Donau-Auen, a forest  a considerable size allows to set runs year in and year out. The fact that the place neighboured by a Gasthaus is a welcomed fact. 

Different place, great beer! 

The parking lot near that Nationalpark house was cracking full on a warm and sunny days (its only the second half of October and Indian Summer time) so it was left to improvisation to find a place to park your vehicle. A crowd of 30 made it out there and, after Hash Cash was collected and "chalk" talk was completed (which was the Hare Lopsided Backside drawing symbols into the sand with her right shoe, no chalk was harmed) she and her sidekick Hare Just In Beaver commenced which was a walkers and a runners route. This map gives you an idea about the whole area, look for the "Nationalparkhaus Wien-Lobau" on the left, this is were the run started.

This pic has got nothing to do with this run 

As usual during runs in the Lobau I admire the piece, nature, variety and everything and - same procedure - I get hopelessly lost and am wondering how one can find her/his way in this beautiful surroundings, when everything starts to look the same after half an hour, meadows, forests and waterways? An intented drink stop was reached and left before the drinking supplies arrived that were carried by the walkers Hare Lopsided B. A bit of a muddy crossing came up and, after much more walking and running it was on back to the starting point for drinks and circle.

This pic was taken during the run 

The circle featured Casting Couch's certificate for completing 850 runs (OVHdom is around the corner), new boot Maja from Kuala Lumpur, the last of another visit by Glory Daze all the way from the US and a double naming ceremony for Just Julia and Just Susanne who got their Hash names Injection Pump and Not Yet, for various reasons. My congrats to the happy recipients! And, yummy Irish Cream liquor was served.

Moron pics will be linked when they become available.
