Ice Receding on the Bow River

The Beginning

Tighty Whitey volunteered to set trail from the Burn Block Social Club in Inglewood. Known for being an interesting space with pinball as a feature, seems like a great place to set the hash run from. Tighty Withey has some some convoluted references linking the run number (2455) with his beer number (whatever that is) of 5555. Something about $5 pints and a run that would be 5 km’s. Sounds like witchcraft to me.

The Burns Block Social Club is housed in an ancient building in Inglewood. A character space with beer and pinball. The group found parking and converged on the space.

Hot Cheeks finds the door

Inside, the group spread out enjoying happy hour pre run pricing as they prepared for the trail.

Camshaft and Insane Bolt called on the group to head out the back door and form a circle in the parking lot.

The hare was called into the circle to describe the marks that he had set for the trail.

I think the chalk marks on the dirt are very readible!

Tighty Whitey indicated a direction and the pack was released to find the marks.

The Trail

Out of the parking lot, marks were found as the pack headed toward the Bow River.

Best stairs ever!

Apparently, the walkers also had fun. Here are some pictures as evidence.

At the viewpoint overlooking the city, the regroup was near by.

Regroup found

After refreshments and chatting, the group headed back to the pub to prepare for the down down’s.

The Down Down’s

As the pack assembled in the pub, it was time to prepare for the down down’s. Lying Sack of Shit was the volunteer Religious Advisor (RA). He prepared his program in anticipation of delivering the rewards and punishments to the group.

The RA called upon Pull My Woody and Insane Bolt as the choir. They chose to sing the Canadian song, written on the back of Hardly’ s shirt.

The program began with a down down for the hare. A fine trail, in spite of all the number 5 items that had to be appreciated.

A series of crimes and punishments were handed out by the RA. Some truth, some fantasy, and some accusations that were unfounded.

We were declared “on the piss” as the RA volunteer for next week was determined!

The Trail

The trail was somewhere between 5 and 7 km ‘s with great views and challenging terrain. A fine trail by Tighty Whitey.

Hash Extra

So many pictures were taken. Here are some random shots that you can mentally insert into the story.
