We were pleased that Pyro stepped up the hare another trail in August. Starting from the parking lot of the 12 Mile Coolee Natural Area, providing great access to the hills and pathways close by.
The evening of the run was cool and smokey. A group of intrepid hashers showed up for the entertainment that Pyro had prepared.

The pack found a place to park and mingled before the circle was called.

Looks like Hardly ran the circle and went through the announcements and introductions. Mr. PeeeeeNut tried to be in all the hasher photo’s, using his best photobombing tactics. AI fixed that problem…..
Hardly invited the hare into the circle to describe the marks for the trail.
Hare to the circle pleaseYou know the drill. The marks are what you expect.
With the marks described, the pack was released to find the trail.
The Trail
The trail started off to the east, across Stoney Trail in the the Scenic Acres neighbourhood. Following trail, sidewalks and streets the trail unfolded.

The Down Down’s
According to last weeks notes, Lazy Cummer was intended to be the Religious Advisor. However, it appears that Hump the Shark ran the program. I am sure that Lazy Cummer will have his chance in the future.
Hump the Shark imagined the crimes, stories and offences that deserved a down down. Starting with the hare, who , once again, set a fine trail for the hash to follow!

A series of infractions and observations were duly rewarded with down down’s.

Unfortunately, the scribe was not physically present at the run. Thank you Elon for Starlink that allowed me to create this write up remotely
You know you will have an entertaining trail with Abandoned Pussy as the Hare. She knows the intricacies of the pathway network in Fish Creek and knows what hashers like.
Voltier’s Flats at the foot of Elbow Drive was the starting location. In addition they have picnic areas suitable for the down down cerimonies.
The group arrived to find parking and prepare for the run. The weather was good and we had some out of town visitors.
Apparently the scribe and Religious Advisor were late to the circle, so he had to rely on the kindness of others for the photos of the opening circle.

The pack found the regroup vehicle and decided, much to chagrin of the hare, that down down’s would not be at the picnic tables, but rather in the parking lot. Apparently the exertion of moving the cooler was overwhelming for some.

The group sorted out their chairs and beverages, and relaxed in anticipation of the start of the down down’s.

Why are we waiting? Apparently a couple of Harriettes were missing. Choosing to avoid the creek crossing, a long and convoluted route back to the start was required. So both Boob Check and Ure-in-Trouble were DFL, causing a delay in the starting of the down down’s.

With the group assembled, it was time for the down down’s to commence.

Trail Summary
A fine trail of some 6 km combining both neighbourhoods and Fish Creek. The creek was quite delightful!
Blue Balls volunteered to set trail on a warm summer evening. He has a number of routes in the Signal Hill area that test our ability to find trail and experience both uphill and downhill.
Starting from Buffalo Bob’s Pub, a familiar place for the hash, we gathered in the parking lot to prepare for the trail.
The group started to form something that looked like a circle as they chatted and discussed recent events.
Booty Camp ran the circle as both Insane Bolt and Camshaft were out of town.

With the circle formed, we had a special announcement to acknowledge the recent passing of Whale Wanker, (Tom Wheeler) a veteran Calgary Hash House Harrier. He will be missed by the group.
Booty Camp went through the circle formalities and called the hare into the circle to describe the marks.

Trail Summary
A fine trail of some 6 km’s with a river crossing. For those that chose the get wet, a fine time was had.
Krusty volunteered to set a trail in Fish Creek, Voltier’s Flats with help from Slow Clap. It has been a great mosquito season, coupled with the rain and mud to make this venue quite special
The starting point was Voltier’s Flats picnic area. Adjacent to Fish Creek, the chance of getting your feed wet were 100%. We were warned to bring dry clothes and bug spray.

The group arrived in the parking lot and started to get organized. Plenty of bug spray was a good choice, until it gets washed off at the first water crossing.

Trail Summary
Not the longest trail we have ran, but certainly the most mosquito bites per runner. The creek crossings were refreshing as was the oozing mud on the banks. Never a dull moment but I think the mosquitos were victorious.
Stampede is happening in Calgary and everything is a party. Thankfully, Daisy Duke volunteered to set trail. Finding the starting point proved challenging for some, but Sandy Beach is a park area on the Elbow River jut south of the Glenmore Reservoir dam.
The access way to the lower parking lot has now all been paved, rather than the dirt track that existed in the past. The hash arrived and found suitable parking and waited for the pack to arrive.
Some were in Stampede costume with appropriate headwear. Other had the stampede spirit within. Camshaft called for the pack to circle up.

Trail Summary
Some say that this trail was in the order of 6 km’s. Only maps from the walkers, so the runners will have to overlay their trail experience.
A Canada Day Run with the Calgary Hash House Harriers has been a thing for some years. This year, Hardly and Twisty stepped up to host an afternoon run on the day, which happens to follow on Wednesday. There was a plan to make this event extra special with multiple 2 km loops with refreshment stops in between. BBQ to follow!
The plan was set and the trail concept was nailed down. Apparently, the weather was a problem and some rain appeared to eliminate the marks that had been set.
Plan B – live hare on a reduced concept. Two trails to enjoy.
The pack assembled at the Hardly and Twisty Haus, ready to celebrate Canada Day. A good turn out of 24 hashers showed up. Apparently the weather turned shitty and it became a “wait in the garage and drink beer” until things sorted themselves out.

The hares were called into the circle to describe what marks to follow. Originally, the multiple trail scheme had marks with M, G, W and E for Moose, Goose, Wolf and Eagle. Apparently a 20 minute thunderstorm obliterated all marks, so the new plan was a guided runners trail and a separate guided walkers trail.
Revised trail markings – Walkers and Eagles
With the marks described, the pack was released to be escorted to the trail.

Trail Summary
Trail 1 and Trail 2 were both enjoyed. Walkers and Runners. Great trail and good recovery from that rain thing that happened at the start.
The end of June is a special time for our teacher folks. It means they do not have to teach until the fall. Some say it sounds like the beginning of a summer vacation!
Our hares were Princess Monkey Spanker, Hot Cheeks and Abandoned Pussy. These folks have a hand in educating our children. With the end of the school year, the teachers like to let off steam. As such, they have planned a challenging trail from a starting point within sight of the Douglas Fir Trail.
Apparently, setting the trail on Sunday involved some time in the rain. We were warned the the trail might be muddy and that dry shoes and socks for the end of the wet trail.
Looks like clean shoes!
The pack gathered in the parking lot near JJ’s Neighbourhood Pub in Spruce Cliff SW. Disappointed that it was not pouring rain like the day before. There was much rejoicing! The hares had plan for the group to make this an epic trail, and perhaps a epi-pen trail?
JJ’S – Imagine the patio that is not in this pictureTailgating pre run
Eventually, it was time to circle up in the parking lot. The group formed some type of a circle with Camshaft running the circle.

The Teechers were called into the circle to educate the pack on the crazy marks they had chosen for the trail. Some say they should get and “F” for messing up the traditional markings. The pack can be slow to learn.
You get an “A” if you can figure out these crazy marks!
With a sign, the pack was released to find the marks on trail.

So much fun was had at the regroup that images were in short supply. The pack headed over the the patio at JJ’s to have the down down’s.

Thankfully, Insane Bolt volunteered to be the Religious Advisor (RA) for the evening. He planned his material for the amusement of the waiting hashers.

After some waiting due to a Mojito delivery emergency, the down down’s were ready to go. A choir of Dastardly and Hardly were selected, and chose to find unusual songs for their performance.
The hares were first, followed by a selection of other offences, The song of STINGY TRAIL related to the abundance of mosquito’s, wasps, bees and other dangerous insects.

A great trail of some 6 km was thoroughly enjoyed by the runners. It was appreciated that it was not dumping rain and that the muddy trail was good! Bring your epi-pen next time.

A number of hashers have or will shortly pass through the portal to seniors discounts. Not necessarily a bad thing as saving money is always good, however the psychological drama of achieving a certain age can be eased if you have others in the same boat.
Coincidentally, the run number ends in 65. A suspicious coincidence which was motivation for Dastardly to hook up with his friends to set trail with a 65 theme. Included in the hare mix were: Dastardly, Lying Sack of Shit, Snevil, Twisty and Hardly. With 5 hares, the possibilities are endless. The run was on June 22, 2026 thus also a Tu Tu run for those that like to dress up.
The starting location was the Neighbourhood Pub in the community of Abbeydale NE. A fine strip mall location with character, allowing access to the pathways, streets and alleys of Abbeydale NE.
A very unique name for this establishment
The scribe was a bit late to the circle so not sure if the group started inside the pub or not. Nevertheless, a circle was present full of enthusiastic hashers who wanted to run.

The Down Down’s
So some unexplained reason, Skewbic Hair volunteered to be the Religious Advisor (RA) at the last run. With poor memory skills, this meant that Scoobie had to prepare for the closing celebration with made up stuff.
Some hashers came forward with snitches, tales, lies and other useful information that the RA could distort into material.

First round of down down’s to the hares. As they were a group of 5, this was quite an undertaking.
Sure you had enough help with the run, the RA asks?
We all did a great job, hard for old people, but we got it done!

Apparently there was a hash shit present. It is a long story, but let us just say that it involved maps and getting maps printed. Miracles do happen!

Run Summary
Greater that 6.5 km for this fine trail set by old people. Through the neighbourhoods of Abbeydale and Marlborough Park, it was quite an experience.
We were pleased that Pyro volunteered to set trail for the group. He is know for setting great trails in challenging terrain. The hills of Tuscany and Scenic Acres provide some great views along with elevation changes.
The run started near the intersection of Tuscany Boulevard and Nose Hill Drive NW, in the Home Depot/Tim Horton’s parking lot.
The start location was busy with shoppers and patrons of the recycling bins that were conveniently located nearby. The group filtered in and found a suitable location to have the circle.
Something like a circle
A good turn out of over 30 hashers, including some returnees from last weeks run with Bacchanal doing a great job of recruiting new hashers to the group.

Pyro pointed a direction and the pack was released.
The Trail
Leaving the parking lot, the pack fanned out to find the marks for true trail. There were some busy street crossing that needed to be navigated prior to finding the wide open spaces.

Regroup vehicle spotted – waiting patiently
With the trail done, the runners waited patiently as the walkers were out for a long walk. Eventually, all was made right as the regroup beverages were available.
With outdoor down down’s, the group created an encampment to rival some of the best unhoused persons installation.

The group got set up and waited patiently for the down down’s to begin.

Bacchanal volunteered to be the Religious Advisor (RA) for the evening. She assembled her program as the beer Meister’s prepared the beverages for down down consumption.

Bacchanal called to pack to order, and selected a choir to help with the singing portion of the ceremony.
Your RA – Bacchanal
Bacchanal selected a choir based on matching shirt types. A group of orange started singing themselves a song.
