Home away from Home

And that's exactly what the Hash House in the Prater is to our drinking club with the obvious problem. Finger Me and Hashflash Media Moron #1 My Pint of View carried out a run in very well known territory in the backwoods of the Prater, not far from the Lusthaus and of course the Gösser Bierinsel om June the 6th.

Here, there and everywhere

That part of the Prater has been so well covered with Hash runs in the Past that it is a bit tricky to come up with anything worth reporting, apart from there were no horses this time and thank you RA, no rain even.
The main reat of the evening came at the On In where we had the pleasure to sit outside in that marverllous garden. And I think that I thoroughly enjoyed a Wurstsalal.

No more mickey

Make up your mind and try out the Gösser Bierinsel yourselves.

On Out.

Short and Sweet

Moosehead, a man of many talents and already a blast of our Hashing past herei Vienna  (remember his famous Punsch runs in past December months!) came back out of his hiding and with girlfriend and dogs invited the Hash for a short run spiced up with two beet stops, one in the garden of his trailerhome in Möllersdorf and the second one in another cute garden a bit further up the road in Guntramsdorf.  The track was not much to write home about but the beers were cool which - let's emphasize this again - is THE asset in the spring and summertime.

This won't be the last posting
I'm more than certain

(Sort of an optimistic Haiku)

That's what it's all about

The Beatles aren't here

But who needs the Beatles when you can have the Vindobonian real thing? I am talking about none other than the Great and Glorious Lord Glo Balls (OVH) who, on May the 23rd, made us return to the site of the pinnacle in his local Hashing career. Lovely weather, even the trail was halfway decent (not clockwise or anticlockwise like in Probstdorf, heh heh) and the crowd were in fine form. And, thank you RA, the weather was sunny. Alongside some backwaters of the Lobau and then WAY over fields of con and goldit took quite a while to find the way out of this field and forest maze.

And yes, old Joystick enjoyed a New Shoe Tea Bag the tradtional Hashers way.

On Out.

Out for lunch?

Well, most likely. The time has come to end my silence and I will try to come up again with wot's hot and wot's not at the Vindobona Hash. How about this for a pastime next summer? But please, no Bike Hashes!

Dutch courage

What more can you ask for from a bright and sunny day than to be forced to run from a carpark that lies right next to a very busy motorway? Flying Dutchman the Great ordered us all on over to the Brigittenauer Brücke carpark on May the 16th and then it was on off across the Bridge into the far and wirde luckily further on into the back end of the Donaupark. It was left to none other that Mr. Smile G-String to provide the energetic spark that would eventually lead the pack over to the Obere Alte Donau and then back into the maze of backroads that would carry everyone back to the carpark.

Having a barbeque at the Donauinsel (next to the carpark) is very popular and one is advised to reserve once such grillplace in advance as they are quite popular. Though that area is also supposed to be free of traffic, Pino the Frog drove up the Dutchmans Family car to the site, wanting to unload the beer and other commodities. He escaped from being fined by the ever friendly police men solely as he apparently had just gotten his drivers license. Or so. "Let this be a warning to you, son". Unquote.
And the rest was beer.

On Out.

Hsah Dinner

The Moment of Clarity

Another corner of lovely Vienna that houses good Heurigens and great scenery is Strebersdorf, out there across the Danube and on the way to Korneuburg. Being a much preferred area by our dearly beloved GrandMeister St.Norman, that area on bottom of the Bisamberg saw many a run that either had a large loop to the right or to the left leading all the way up to the hilltop.

To-nites trail on May 9 took a left turn after the start, leaving behind the local cemetery and not long after did the uphill campaign start and that also include the sly use of a regular false trail (well done Hares!) which eventually ended at a very well known Checkpoint in the middle of the vineyards and that also gave way to a familiar look. And, it was pleasant to see Returnee Squeeze Box Mama.

There it is!

By the way, orientation has become a lot more complex around the area since the Powers that be (neither LGB nor St.Norman) took away the famed Sender am Bisamberg. Anyhow. Not intruding into another well known running area on top of the Bisamberg (runs that start from the other side at the Elisabethhöhe) the trail ran back along the local Kellergassen and to the car park eventually. Improvised circle by the RA Richard Kopf (super late cummer). OnIn at the nearby Gasthaus Weinbeisser. 50 % off on Mondays!
