The Beginning

Daisy Duke volunteered to set trail for a great run. His knowledge of the Haysboro/Southwood neighbourhoods would come in handy in devising a challenging yet entertaining trail. The weather was good in early April with snow and warm temperatures at the same time!

Daisy Duke has influence with the Stoneyslope Brewing Company. As such, he was able to get them to open up on a day that they are usually closed. A private venue for the group is a good thing!

The group arrived and settled down prior to the run. Apparently, there was a power failure in this neighbourhood. The good news is that they could still sell us beer and take credit cards using a cell phone as a hot spot! Happy days for all!

People kept arriving and the small space continued to fill up with hashers.

Camshaft and Insane Bolt declared it was time to head outside and circle up in the parking lot.

Insane Bolt went through the announcements and introduction. We had a couple of returning archives joining us, Lying Sack of Shit and Krusty.

Finally, the hare was called into the circle to describe the marks he had set for the trail.

With the marks described, the pack was released to find the trail.

The Trail

From the parking lot, we found marks that sent us across Elbow Drive SW to the community of Haysboro. Along the streets and through the alleys enjoying the sloppy wet sunny conditions.

Some historic sights were park of the trail. An old ranch house and a very rare tree were included for our historical appreciation.

Some other features of the trail were the ski truck. Quite a find in this neighbourhood!

The long wet alley lead to the regroup vehicle. A sight to see and the source of great fulfilment.

From the regroup, the pack headed back to the pub to prepare for the down down’s.

Interesting beer and food choices were available. Patience with the single server was the way to go!

The Down Downs

Skewbic Hair was the Religious Advisor (RA) for the evening. He assembled his program and patiently waited for the beverages to appear.

Skewbic Hair selected a choir of Rashy Bush and Hump the Shark. They enjoyed a down down as they sang themselves a suitable song.

With all the down down’s complete, the group was declared “on the piss”. More yummy beer to consume.

Trail Summary

This trail was in the 6 to 8 km range, depending on your level of embracement of the check backs and back checks. A great trail through interesting neighbourhoods.

Hash Extra

Many pictures were taken. Here are some that may be of interest to the group.
