Hares: Pyro

Location: Tuscany Home Depot/Tim Horton’s Parking lot

RA: Bacchanal

Attendance: 32

Having way too much fun!

The Beginning

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.

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.

Camshaft went through the announcements and introductions, then the hare was called into the circle to describe the marks.

This is an “on” mark, flagging also used!

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.

The Down Down’s

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.

Bacchanal selected a choir based on matching shirt types. A group of orange started singing themselves a song.

First off, the hare was acknowledged. Pyro set a fine trail for all to enjoy.

Bacchanal finishing up, RA for next week!

The group were declared “on the piss” and retired to Nottingham’s Pub for debriefing.

Bacchanal recruits a village of new runners!

Bacchanal recruits a village of new people!

The Beginning

Bacchanal has been absent from the hash for an extended period. As fait would have it, she is now “back” and eager to set a trail. Teamed up with Lazy Cummer, this dynamic duo were enthusiastic to set trail in the Bridgeland/Renfrew communities in the NE.

The Courtyard Pub was selected as the nominal starting location. Hash friendly and able to host us.

In addition, Bacchanal has been recruiting and we were swarmed with new runners that she coerced to join us. Quite an accomplishment as we had almost 40 people present at the run start.

The actual starting point was a couple of blocks away from the pub. The hares provided explicit details for those that could follow instructions.

The group assembled at a location with a great view of the city, and prepared for the running experience.

Camshaft made an effort to get the group to form something that looked like a circle.

Camshaft ran the circle and went through the announcement and introductions. With some 14 new boots, a lot of new names were revealed! Hope to link the names with the circle photo’s.

The hares were called in to describe the marks they had set for the pack to follow.

The hares described the marks and the use of flagging to mark the trail. The pack was released to find the true trail!

The Trail

Off the pack went, initially finding the check backs that had been set. Eventually, true trail was found and all was good!

Off to find the marks and the playgrounds. Confusing start but great views were part of the run experience.

Some good marks to show us that we were at the end of the trail. Outdoor down down’s in the park for a big group. This took some work to set up and run!

What are these down down’s we are waiting for?

The Down Down’s

With Hump the Shark as the Religious Advisor (RA), he gathered the stories that he would base his end of run performance. Dastardly and Lazy Cummer prepared the beverages and the stage was set.

Call in the hares and give them a down down for an epic trail!

Many other offences were observed on trail. Hump the Shark had quite a list!

Our collection of New Boots! Hope to see them back.

LSOS call out for fashion offence. Impersonating the RA

Snevil agreed to be the RA for next week, and we were then declared “on the piss”.

After the run, the group retired to the Courtyard Pub for food and refreshments, as well as to be part of the great Hash Kilt raffle, organized by Hot Cheeks.

Trail Summary

This trail was great with lots of variety, views, stairs, up and down, and abundant playgrounds.

Run 2462 – Liquor Lots Does It Again

RA: Lying Sack of Shit

Attendance: 22

Some Rain and this is What Happens!

The Beginning

Liquor Lots and OPP stepped up to host the hash run. They chose to set trail at Bowmont Park, a fine wilderness area with some challenging trail in the area.

The weather offered some challenges as we have had more rain than you can imagine. A fine recipe for mud and puddles! Liquor Lots and OPP spent a wet day setting trail for us to enjoy.

The trail start was at the Dale Hodges Park NW. We arrived in the rain and thankfully Dastardly had some antifreeze to ward off the chill and the damp.

The group assembled and dressed in their finest rain repellant clothing.

Insane Bolt ran to the run start from his house, showing a high level of over achievement. Camshaft requested that we form a circle to prepare for the run start.

Mmmmm Ladyfingers photobombing Strap On Crampon and Slow Clap

Camshaft ran the circle and we quickly went through the abbreviated formalities. Standing around in the rain was no fun.

The hares were called into the circle to describe the marks they had set for the trail.

The pack was released and headed off to look for marks.

The Trail

Off out of the parking lot, we found marks along the bike path leading to Bowmont Park.

Thankfully, the uphill slippery path was a false trail. Now we have muddy shoes and would really appreciate a show wash!

Many happy hashers enjoying suitable refreshments

After finishing the tasty beverages, the group headed off to Leopold’s Pub in Bowness for the down downs. Dry clothes were a good thing to bring with you for post run enjoyment.

The pub was packed, but the group managed to squeeze in and find just enough room.

The group settled in to take in the ambience and prepare for the down down’s.

The Down Down’s

Lying Sack of Shit volunteered to be the Religious Advisor. In the absence of Hump the Shark, who volunteered last week, LSOS saved the day! He prepared his material and came up with a program.

With the tight quarters, and being in a busy place, we adjusted the delivery of the down down’s to make them work. Self choiring was a feature.

Through the confusion, and all down down’s handed out, Lying Sack of Shit declared the group to be “on the piss”. A fine RA performance under challenging conditions.

Close to 5 km’s of rain soaked adventure. Views of the high river which may continue to make the trail even wetter. A great run in an interesting area.

Attendance: 31

The Pack Runs the Alley’s of Huntington Hills

The Beginning

We are thankful that Hardly, Twisty and Dastardly teamed up to generate a great hash run in the North part of town. The run started from the Black Bull Pub, but the group consolidated in the parking lot prior to the run start.

This would be the pub we started from. Used this stock shot as none was taken.

In the parking lot, the hashers assembled and Hot Cheeks was promoting the hand made Hash kilts. They were handed out and all went for a run!

Camshaft ran the circle and went through the announcements and introduction. We had some new boots and returning archives making for a good sized group.

There was a bit of a kilt parade, showing off the kilts that are available to bid on, with the funds supporting charity.

The hares were called into the circle to describe the marks for today’s trail. Multiple playgrounds were promised!

With the marks described, the pack was released.

The Trail

Out of the parking lot, the hares had set many long check backs. The pack was confused trying to find the true trail, but eventually that happened. Pathways, backyards, alleys, streets and sidewalks.

The regroup vehicle was found, and the group headed back to find their chairs for outdoor down down’s.

The group settled in and prepared for the down down’s to begin. Mostly chatting and enjoying suitable refreshments.

The outdoor venue meant that we had to prepare our own down down’s. Great work by the beer wenches to pull this off.

In good time, the down down’s were ready to begin.

The Down Down’s

Booty Camp had volunteered to be the Religious Advisor for the run. She had been mentally preparing for the week and was ready to unleash her creation.

A choir was chosen, and King Shit was chosen. He then sang himself a song and the ceremony was underway.

A number of offences were called out as the program got underway.

Some crimes were committed before the run started, supplement by the long list created by Booty Camp.

Lazy Cummer and Shakes Beer – likely playground infraction

A recipient for the Hash Shit identified! Littlest Hoe is happy now!

Booty Camp finished off by offering up the RA position for next week. Hump the Shark put up his hand, and it was done.

Thanks to Booty Camp, and Hump is on the hook for next week RA

All done, we were declared “on the piss”. Some gravitated to the Black Bull Pub for a debriefing.

Attendance: 19

A view from the Hill

The Beginning

With the first long weekend in May, finding a hare to host the run can be challenging. Many conflicting objectives, including camping, cycling, Stampeders football and travel can lead to a small number of runners. With a holiday Monday, afternoon vs evening time slot is another question.

Thankfully, Booty Camp and Snow Blower stepped up to the challenge and declared they would host an afternoon run with feeding afterwards! We can not thank them enough!

With variable weather, the threat of rain made were an added feature. Nevertheless, hashers appeared and prepared for the run that had been thoughtfully prepared for the group.

Run start location, with BBQ in the back!

In the absence of our normal Hashmasters, a stand in was acclaimed to run the circle and be the religious advisor for the closing ceremonies.

Skewbic Hair ran the circle going through the announcements and introductions.

The hares were called into the circle to describe the marks they had set to mark the trail.

All you need to know is here, including a pink flamingo

The pack was released and to group wandered off to find the marks.

The Trail

The pathways proved fruitful for finding marks. Off we went knowing that the pedestrian bridges over the Trans Canada Highway were likely important.

Some hashers did not appreciate that the regroup was located close to the end of the run. Some were distracted by other beverages at another location near by. All was good and we did not get rained on!

The Down Down’s

Back to the start location, the back yard became a fine place to place your chair and enjoy a suitable beverage in anticipation of the down down’s starting.

Skewbic Hair was volunteered to be the Religious Advisor (RA), and enlisted the support of Karate Klit.

A choir of the bashers was selected, including Pull My Woody, Sticky Lips and XXX Ray. These folks were unable to join us for the circle.

A choir happy to help out with the songs!

First off was a tribute to the hares for setting a fine trail and for hosting the group on this wonderful afternoon.

Dastardly for a fine regroup for those that found it

It was noted that one of our hashers had shoes that were suspiciously new looking. Upon further enquiry, these were indeed new shoes debuting on the May the Fourth run. The RA of that evening, Tighty Whitey, was so wrapped up in his star wars world, they were overlooked. Time to correct that transgression.

Adds a bit of new flavour to the beverage!

After exhausting the material they had to work with, it was time to down the RA and see if we can get a volunteer for next week!

Thanks for coming to our hosted afternoon run!

A fine afternoon of mirth and merriment. We sincerely thank Booty Camp and Snow Blower for hosting the afternoon May Long Weekend Run.

The Beginning

Snevil chose to hare this run and we thank her for that. Familiar with the neighbourhood, it was decided to start the run at the Royal Pub Bankview SW. She was familiar with the lay of the land and the extent of the hills and challenging geography that this place had for the hashers.

The group assembled outside on the modest patio of the pub.

A reasonable crowd turned up and the weather was good. Eventually, we were called to the circle in the parking lot adjacent to the pub.

Camshaft ran the circle as we went through the announcements and introduction.

The hares were called into the circle to describe the marks for the trail. All in chalk, with some unique features that required us to pay attention.

Others are not… Here they are and off you go!

The hare pointed out the first mark and the pack was released.

The Trail

Off through the back alleys, marks were found that indicated we were on the trail. The neighbourhood is going through a bit of a transformation with lots of new building and renovation.

The group settling in for outdoor down down’s

It was decided to do the down down’s outside in this back yard. Preparations were made to make that happen!

The Down Down’s

Hardly and Twisty were the volunteer Religious Advisors, appointed last week. They jointly prepared their material as the down down beverages were made ready.

Hardly and Twisty started their program.

A choir was appointed, and Dastardly and Lazy Cummer sang themselves a suitable song.

This shoes have been deemed to be “new”. New shoes have cnosequences.

RA recruitment for the next run was unsuccessful. Sort it out at the next run. On the piss was declared and we headed back to the Royal Pub Bankview for debriefing.

At the pub, a kilt fashion show was put on for the benefit of the patrons. These kilts are available for sale with money going to charity.

The Beginning

Shakesbeer volunteered to set trail on May the Forth. With a Star Trek theme, costumes were encouraged.

The starting point of the trail was the parking lot at Stanley Park. The group arrived and prepared for an epic trail. Camshaft called for the group to circle up and we got ready for the trail.

Camshaft went through the introduction and announcements, then called the hare into the circle to explain the marks!

Shakesbeer pointed out the first mark, and the pack was released.

The Trail

Off across the park to find more marks. Flagging and chalk marks revealed themselves as the pack progressed the trail.

With the regroup located, it was time for a quick refreshment prior to heading to Born Brewing Company for indoor down downs.

Down Down’s

Tighty Whitey was the Religious Advisor for the evening. He had prepared a program with a Star Wars theme. His Star Wars inspiration extended into inventing a names he attributed to hashers in the down down’s.

Choir – Cantina Band – Hardly and Stoolie

Camshaft – Lubed Skywalker and LL – Fuckakin Skywalker

A group down down for some reason that escapes me!

With the down down’s complete, it was time to socialize and enjoy the yummy Born Brewing product.

Apparently, a hash shit was abandoned at the pub. I trust this will be reacquainted with its rightful owner.

River View near Mountain Park SE

The Beginning

A fine day in April means that the weather can be anything. Hot Pants has been chomping on the bit to set his first trail for the Hash. Thankfully, a date near the end of January was available. Being a virgin hare, Hot Pants was supported by both Skewbic Hair and Dastardly to ensure he had the materials required for trail setting, plus the wisdom to set a great trail.

The trail was to be set in the Mountain Park SE neighbourhood, adjacent to the the Bow River. Lots or green belts and neighbourhood trails to explore. Starting point was selected to be Coasters Bar & Grill. A suitably questionable bar with cheep beer for the locals. Trail was planned from here, however, a change of plan ensued when it was discovered that they close early on Monday evenings!

The group assembled at Coasters in anticipation of the run.

A good turn out with no visible snow remaining from the weekend snow events.

Insane Bolt ran the circle and went through the announcements and introductions.

The hares were called into the circle to describe the marks they have made to describe the trail. Apparently, as one of the hares was the phot guy, no pictures were taken. I am sure you can visualize the H mark for on. the circle for a check, and the circle with an X for the check back. There was a promise of 5 playgrounds as well as a regroup. Pink flagging as well.

The Trail

Off from the parking lot heading South, marks were found . After a few false trails, the pack found the marks and headed out to discover the trail.

Finally, the regroup was found and refreshments were enjoyed in the last park.

The regroup continued until it was time to go back to the bar parking lot, and redeploy to an open pub in the neighbourhood, the Kilt & Caber Ale House in Makenzie Towne, a short distance away.

The Down Down’s

Stool Stuffer was the Religious Advisor for the evening. He volunteered the week previously, so he has had ample time to think of content. The section of the Kilt & Caber that we had our reservation was cozy. The club has been upgraded to Terriors from Harriers .

Stool Stuffer got his act together and suitable beverages were delivered.

Stoolie kicked off the ceremony by selecting a choir. As there were a faction of the group that chose not to go over the bridge to “the other side”, they were singled out for shortcutting en masse.

After the choir sang themselves a song, the hares were called up for a down down. With Hot Pants as the virgin hare, he was supported by Skewbic Hair and Dastardly.

Scoobie, Hot Pants and invisible Dastarly

A selection of other crimes and punishments were called out by the RA.

Trail Summary

A fine trail in the range of 5 – 7 km, depending on whether you explored “the island” over the bridge. Not all chose this route, even the hare had thoughtfully laid trail and provided a delightful trail running experience.

If it was not for the last minute, nothing would ever happen. Shakesbeer stepped forward to volunteer to set trail from James on Fourth Pub on 4 TH street SW. In the Mission. Cliff Bungalow neighbourhood, there is plenty of hills and parks to keep the Hash entertained.

Parking is not so easy at the Pub, so efforts were made to find a parking spot and head over to the Pub. A group of hashers assembled outside on the sidewalk, with some fancy hats present.

Camshaft ran the circle and went through the announcements and the introductions.

The hare was called into the circle to describe the marks.

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

The pub was ready for us with beer and food which were enjoyed prior to the down down’s were ready.

Our Religious Advisor (RA) for the evening was Hump the Shark. He diligently prepared his material and got the beverages ready.

With the music now turned down, Hump the Shark was ready to go. He selected a choir of Roaring Nancy and Hot Pants.

Starting with the Hare, the program was delivered with a series of stories a crimes.

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.

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.

Camshaft went through the introductions and announcements.

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!

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

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.
