Up where you belong

The Great Grüß Di A Gott Wirt out there in Sievering traditionally marks the beginning of the Vindobonian Monday Run Season, albeit with a few minor disagreements between a chosen few about the actual date. Anyhow, Monday the 18th of April saw some gerat weather, MUCH traffic inside Vienna that caused my Co-Hare Munk to set the trail on his own as I was very late, at least I could make up by quickly taking the cooled Sekt Bottles up the Hill to the drink- and Songstop at the Habsburgwarte, highest elevation in Vienna (541 metres).

We sure like running on Monday evenings

The run had to start punctually to avoid a return in the darkness and, in old cameraderie, the owner of the Grüß Di A Gott Wirt opened up his premises especially for us. What can I say? Everyone and foremost visitor and former Grand Meisterette Mindphuck made their way up the hill despite the very steep climb, the Sektstop and the singing were just fine and the way down the hill seems to become a favourite for most.
Very latecomer Lady Go Diver on a short visit from the Netherlands joined the fold for the circle and the On After.

Viennas highest point

On Out.

Peace Piece

The next run on Sunday , April 10 was held in Berndorf, Moron growing up place if I remember that right. Again I could not partake yet the Cardinal Munk (OVH) promised me to come up with some Cardinal Chatter. Let's see.

Segway anyone?

Look for Life with the Moons

That is life

Sunday April the 3rd saw a run staged in and around the Wiener Zentralfriedhof, something that the Cardinal Munk (OVH) and I wanted to do years ago already yet somehow never happened. Credit to No Balls Prize and his affiliates to see the run through eventually. Pity I couldn't make that run. From the pics of this run I can just tell happy faces. Are we ready for the resurrection?

Save the last dance for us

A fitting song, somehow




On out.

Get on your Boots

All change. As much as I like daylight saving time (Sommerzeit) my wife hates it. In the past the changing of the clocks led to a few funny situations where Hashers either arrived much too early or rather late-ish to the run on that date.
This seemed to have not been the case outside the American International School here in Vienna somewhere in the 29th district on Sunday, March 27. A good crowd assembled in the non-existing carpark to start the run  on up.
All the way up the Salmannsdorfer Straé and then into the forest heading for the Höhenstraße nonstop fun for the fit ones was guaranteed. Crossing the Höhentrasse and getting stopped by a short Checkback brought us back abd eventually to the Viewpoint at the Häuserl am Roan not far from our annual refuge at the Grüß Di A Gott Wirt.

On over the Höhenstrasse and back into the woods heading for the way home featured the way down some sort of steep hill and an old fashioned cobblestone road in town again. Only to face the following upon our return to the carpark:

Beer in PET bottles, a novelty to Voenna.

During the ensuing circle three new boots could be welcomed:

Not genuine Ostriches 

And that was that.

On Out.

All Tree

up at the Wotrubakirche in the lovely surroundings of the Maurer Berg in Viennas 23rd district on Sunday, March 20th. I couldn't contribute much to this run since I was not in attendance yet there were more than enough Hares (up to six?) so fun was had by all as you and I can tell by these pics.

Go Green

Wotrubakirche in Vienna and some Vindobona Hashers

Too deep!

Hang out time

March 15 - Schweizerhaus opening day. Beers unlimited, same old company of the drunkards microcosmos and oompah muzak. Can it get any better than this? Thanks to all that came by and helped us to celebrate.

Here are a few assorted pics for all absent friends like Minuteman et al. Thinking of you and raising a pint in your honor.

Re-sa-wirt - Reserved

The conclusion!

On Out.

Ka Boom Part 2

The second and last part of the great powderfactory run series out there in Blumau happened on Sunday, March 13. I didn't have time to come to the first one last year so I was quite curious what to expect from an area of ruins in all sorts and forms, debris, tunnels and forest.  Take a few pics as example that the Hares Deodorant and Knödel mit Ei made sure that everyone was served, including a fine songstop next to the water.

They call it a bargain

A fine trail that included all forms of ruins, tunnels and forest and a beer stop in Deodorants garden, of course one had to climb up and down ladders again to reach the well cooled beer afterwards.
Some ten minutes later it was on back to the carpark with a circle in the wind.

Not really the Vindobona Hashhouse

OnOut.
