Having hosted Annual RAN Skilled Hands Sydney Rocks Xmas Pub Crawl Smokeys ![]() ![]() ![]() impromptu RAN SH themed ‘piss-ups’ in Canberra, the Gold Coast, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide, even a ‘Xmas in July’ pub crawl in Balmain,) it was with a twinge of regret when I arrived with Tafmo and Fraddy at the City Extra 24-hr. Restaurant in Circular Quay to kick off our FINAL event… At this stage our numbers had whittled down to 8, having just learned that Charlie Staples had succumbed to Covid-19 and was forced to opt out, ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I guess the 'important' people made it, ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() And we're off..! Howie arrived as we were leaving City Extra, so he grabbed a muffin to fill a hole as we hit the Fortune of War, arguably Sydney's oldest pub, ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() participant in every Rocks Run since 2011. Dave succumbed to liver cancer ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ................................. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
