Multivalve Lunch Run (March 2023)

Multivalve Lunch Run – Thursday 2nd March 2023

After meeting at the Marion hotel at 9.45am, we all set off for the Aston Hills Golf Club just outside Mt Barker. We had a good run out through Blackwood and the Hills (having forgotten again to prune the trees at some junctions on the practise run in order to clear the road signs which can make the run sheets hard to follow). However, we did not lose anyone and after a few more twists and turns all arrived at the Golf Club travelling very slowly on their gravel car park.

The Golf Club served us all in quick time and we sat and enjoyed the lovely views across the golf course. We will definitely be going back there on future runs and perhaps lunch.

Leaving Mt Barker, we headed to Birdwood on a slightly more roundabout route (as time was on our side) through Balhannah, Woodside and Mt Torrens.

On turning into The Blumberg hotel car park, a couple of cars bottomed out on the speed hump across the driveway entrance before a few others realised and parked on the street (will be a cautionary note on the run sheet if we go there again).

The décor of the Blumberg’s dining room is very old fashioned, but clean and welcoming so after buying drinks we enjoyed a pleasant meal and chat. With the weather being perfect for a drive, the day was a success and some members commented on the route which was enjoyed by all.
