me joe and lucas have been talking about it for a while now. we wanted to walk from joe's joint to rainbow (round 25kms) in the darkness of night. we decided that a cool name for it would be "the starlight stumble" or just "the stumble" for short.
on saturday night me and joe finally got around to doing it. it was a shit that spew couldn't cum with us, but we left the planning too late and he didn't have the right things to go.
i met up with spew on saturday night, just before i got off work and i was talking to him about it. the silly boy was keen and ready to make the walk in a pair of globes and jeans. i wouldn't let him. as much as it would have been cool to have his company...no man is dumb enough to walk 25km in shit fitting globes.
joe came round not long after i got off work and we put our things together. with a backback full of- 4 apples, 2L of water, 12 cans of VB, 1 glow stick, a reflextor vest and a shitty sports drink we headed off.
the going was more than good for the first hour. we covered more ground than we thought we would and had a nice wind at our backs. the main reason we chose to go from rainbow to joe's was the wind. the moon was bright and we could see for miles.
after the first 5 kms or so the track we had got wrecked so we had to move our walk onto the road. we had drunk a few cans very very quick and were very light hearted. i think this is where our speed decreased. lol.
every car that we saw cuming we would run to the train line and take cover...fuck nos why.
we were more than happy and i decided to call up flozz...after all, she is my drunken phone call buddy. lol. i talked to her for ages (maybe) and it was good to hear her voice again. she spoke french to me and i pretended i understood, then i asked her to be my g/f for the night, then i told her about me secretly naming 'the stumble' after her...well...the "starlight" bit anyways. lol...that was meant to be for my ears and mind only. lol. after i got off the phone to her i was in a good mood. talking to a good looking girl always seems to lift the spirts.
next we had a quick (1 hour) stop in a paddok so joe's g/f could call him. while he was flapping his gums i ran off and hid in the longer shit. hahaha he couldn't find me.
we pressed on. with half way passed we were in a good mood. while almost getting run over by the hopetoun cop and hiding in the trees, i did sum nice damage to my leg. lol. got a nice lump on it still from the beautiful dive i pulled off. that was when i had the brain wave of stealing road posts. it was a great idea...they look cool in ur room, but we had to carry them the last 7kms. lol.
after paddok hopping the rest of the way to joe's, we pulled in at 2:43am. that is roughly 5 hours and 34 mins of walking. not a bad effort for two young bucks that were under the influence.
when we got to joe's he cooked up sum pizza, chicked strips and dim sims. a feast for two young gods after a death march.
will we do it again? hell yeah...it's the first of many "stumbles" across the country side. who knows...next time there might be more beer and more happenings.
***the first ever starlight stumble was completed in 5 hours and 34 mins. it was started at roughly 9:00pm on the 9th of september 2006 and was finished at roughly 2:30am on the 10th of september 2006 by simon matheson and joe vallelonga
