The Beginning

Enthusiasm for setting trail improves as the days get longer. Thankfully, Booty Camp and Snow Blower were motivated to ensure the hash continued for another week.

The starting point was the west beltline area, 12th ave and 12th street SW at the Pig & Duke Neighbourhood Pub. Parking was a challenge, but not impossible.

The Pig & Duke Pub

The pub filled up with hashers assessing the venue and preparing for the run.

After a thorough explanation of the marks, Snow Blower pointed the direction of the trail and released the pack.

In the circle, it was declared that there would be no regroup due to parking limitations. Apparently that was modified at some point, but most did not find the regroup that was hosted in an adjacent parkade. Some of us enjoyed refreshments in the warm.

The Down Down’s

We settled into seats, ordered beer and food, and waited for the down down’s to begin.

The Religious Advisor for the evening was Liquor Lots. She was a bit tentative initially, but she prepared a fine program to finish off the run.

A choir of Hardly and Insane Bolt were called up to start the singing of songs.

With the down down’s winding down, the RA for next week was volunteered to be Hardly, who will also set trail. A great act of kindness!

On the piss

With the down down’s completed, we were declared “on the piss” by Liquor Lots.
