Winter Wonderland

The Beginning

Slow Clap has been instrumental in keeping the hash afloat with her volunteer spirit. Not only did she co-hare last weeks run, she agreed to set trail again. She recruited Roaring Nancy to assist, and a fine trail was delivered.

It was a cold, dark, wintery night. Not ideal for running but OK. Still lots of snow around and the roads and pathways were icy under the snow.

The group gathered at the Dorset Pub and Eatery in the SW intersection of 37 street and 17 avenue. Inside was warm and pleasant as we awaited the signal to venture outside into the cold and dark.

Insane Bolt declared it was time to go outside and form the circle. We filed out and found the parking lot of the recently abandoned 7-11 to start the circle.

We formed a circle in the cold and dark with very little in the way of street lighting to enlighten the group.

Insane Bolt went through the formalities of the circle. Announcements and other important information was dispensed to the group. PMS has a milestone with 450 runs! The hares were called into the circle to explain the marks.

With the first mark pointed out, the pack was released!

The Trail

There was some level of confusion finding the initial marks. Some decoy marks had been placed near the beginning to toy with the hash. Much running around before, eventually, we found the true trail.

There was much to take in on the architects tour. The C-Trail station is underground, and seemed like a popular warming location for the unhoused.

Through the streets and the alleys, we emerged to challenge the walk signals at the C-Trail crossing.

Safely across Bow Trail, we ended up close the the Shaganappi Golf Course. Explored the new high density developments, then over the pedestrian bridge to a very hilly part of town.

Thankfully, a Beverage Near mark was observed. This is normally a good thing, however, the distance between this mark and the actual regroup was longer than you would think! More marks encouraged us to carry on until we were treated to a warm garage with a regroup.

We were thankful for the heater to defrost our glasses as we enjoyed refreshments in a warm environment. There was much rejoicing!

Regroup complete, it was now time to make it back to the pub. Even through it was 1.8 km or so, it seemed much longer due to the cold and the dark. The playgrounds were not well played with, as getting back to somewhere warm seemed to be the priority.

Back to the pub, we got settled in prior to the start of the down down’s.

Beer and food were ordered and the group settled in.

Down Down’s

Hump the Shark was the Religious Advisor. He chose a choir of Liquor Lots and Karate Klit to lead us in song.

The hares were acknowledged as well as a number of crimes and offences.

PMS has achieved 450 runs. A tremendous milestone for her to have achieved such an accomplishment!

Hump the Shark was rewarded for his great program before we were declared “on the piss”.

A fantastic trail with over 7 kms of distance covered. Your trail distance will reflect the number of check backs you explored or short cuts your took.

Run 2372 – Karate Klit Kindly Kame Forward (4K Forward)

November 18, 2024 The Scribe

Hares: Karate Kilt and Slow Clap

Location: Lennox Irish Pub

RA: Hump the Shark

Attendance: 14

View from Signal Hill

The Beginning

The group was pleased that Karate Klit kindly kame forward to set trail in the wild west end of town near Signal Hill. Of course, this is the time of year that sunny and warm one day becomes winter wonderland the next day.

As such, the arrival of 10 cm of snow did not bode well for the marks on the sidewalks that were set with care on the warm and dry Sunday. After some level of consternation and multiple re-marking, the hash trail was set. Map support with colour printing made it a feasible operation.

Hashers made it to the Lennox Irish Pub for the beginning or the run. Winter wonderland = snow and crappy driving/running conditions. Bright lights and white snow made for some interesting photographs of the event. Hashers assembled inside waiting for all those keen runners to show up.

Insane Bolt called on the pack to assemble outside in the cold and dark.

Insane Bolt studies the confidential information about the run

Insane Bolt went through the circle quickly as it was a small, but eager group. KC called into the circle to explain the marks, which sadly, was moot point as those marks were under snow.

The smart hashers memorized the map and set off to mimic the lines seen on the map.

The Trail

Leaving the parking lot, we headed across the street at a crosswalk to ultimately commit to climbing that significant hill that was nearby. Previous runs in the neighbourhood have educated some of us of the “one way up” set of stairs.

With winter upon us, we discovered the hill that city busses choose to die on. Daisy Duke was not being very helpful in trying to fix the problem.

Yes there were parks for hashers to play in. Daisy Duke chose the headfirst down the slide in fresh snow method. Not for the timid.

We have evidence that at least one mark survived the snow.

The trail eventually made it to the regroup where the Commando wagon was available to dispense suitable refreshments.

The group wandered back to the pub for the indoor down down’s.

Down Down’s

Inside the pub, we had a segregated space for the down down’s. The Monday Night Football cult was out in force. Hump the Shark made up a religious advisor program from the ether. Do let the facts get in the way of a good story! Roaring Nancy was selected at the choir and the ceremony proceeded.

Many offences and crimes were put forward and down down’s were enjoyed.

Special call out to Dastardly, who was conflicted with running the trail or winning money at the Grey Eagle casino. Payday for Dastardly who came back to celebrate his massive winnings with nachos for the group.

Nacho feast

Eventually, it all came to an end and we were declared “on the piss”.

Trail Summary

A fine trail in excess of 5 km’s was enjoyed by those who chose to run it. A good example of how superfluous marks can be when you have snow everywhere.

Run 2371 – Grey Cup Run

November 17, 2024 The Scribe

Hares: Snow Blower and Booty Camp

Location: Banff Trail Residence

RA: Abandoned Pussy

Attendance: 19

Where Canadian Football is Played in Calgary

The Beginning

The Grey Cup is the final game of the Canadian football season. The winner gets to take home the Grey Cup.

There was some hope that the local team would be present to compete, but that was not the case. As such, we were relegated to celebrating the Grey Cup football game with a run, and a watch party.

Grey Cup was held in Vancouver in an enclosed stadium, with teams from Toronto and Winnipeg participating.

Booty Camp and Snow Blower hosted the run. This is a special run on the Sunday in the afternoon. Thankfully, the weather was good for the run. Snow predicted for that evening, but the daytime was double digits and sunny.

A group of intrepid hashers showed up, running without the burden of headlamps. We gathered initially inside, awaiting the late cummers to arrive.

Enough of this warm inside stuff, time to go outside and face the elements!

Insane Bolt ran the circle and went through the announcements and introductions. Milestone for Mucky Dip – 650 runs! The hares went through the marks for the run.

The pack was released and we were off to find the trail!

The Trail

Through the pathways and back alleys to eventually hit the pedestrian overpass to McMahon Stadium, a shrine for Calgary football. We had a chance to circle the stadium to take in all its wonderment. This location will host the Grey Cup in 2026! Stay tuned!

Apparently the walkers also discovered the stadium.

Thankfully, there was more trail with considerable elevation loss and gain coupled with a viewpoint or two. Playgrounds included!

Of course there was more uphill and downhill. Why do they call this neighbourhood St. Andrews Heights!

Thankfully, the good marks showed up and we were directed to the regroup vehicle to find suitable refreshments.

Down Down’s

After a successful regroup, the retreated to the backyard comfort of our hosts. Not as warm as we would have liked, but OK for the down down’s.

Abandoned Pussy was the religious advisor and delivered the program.

All was well and AP declared us “on the piss”. Can Crusher took a moment to demonstrate her superior can crushing skills.

We completed the afternoon with a splendid eating feast and the watch of the football game. Now we know that the Toronto team were victorious.

Run 2370 – Remember Hardly

November 11, 2024 The Scribe

Hares: Hardly

Location: Brickwell Taphouse

Remembering Hardly

The Beginning

Remembrance Day is an annual reminder of those who have contributed to the country we have today. It is up to us to remember the sacrifices that were made for our country.

Hardly agreed to set trail on this special day. Coincidentally, his birthday, he had mapped out a long and hard trail that we would never forget. He chose to partially set trail, and conduct the balance as a “live hare”. As such, we did not see him in the circle as he was out setting and resetting marks to make the trail a success!

The Brickwell Taproom was the starting point. Up in the north, the location attracted a number of northern hashers that we have not seen in a while. A great turnout of 30 people, and weather that was not horrible set the stage for a memorable trail.

The venue was a good place to start from, but not so good for the closing ceremonies as they had a Monday Night Football crowd who had priority. Early closing did not help either, so down down’s in the parking lot.

We gathered inside until it was time to head outside.

The group found a suitable location in the parking lot to circle up.

A happy group who did a great job of remembering that Monday night is a hashing night.

Insane Bolt led the circle and all was well. Archives, announcements and introductions complete.

Insane Bolt resting between circle events

Eventually, it was time for Twisty to describe the marks to follow for the Remember Hardly trail. Hardly was hiding on trail somewhere ready to pounce as a “live hare”.

The Hash was released to find trail markings and follow the trail.

The Trail

Off we went in search of marks. Once found, the pack shouted “On On” and started what would end up being a trail to remember.

As we wandered through these established neighbourhoods, we stumbled upon Hash Test Dummy and Auntie Frank’s renovated property, marked by the “GM”, for the Garage Mahal. A property flippers dream!

Through the streets, bridges and neighbourhoods, we stumbled upon some great views and a playground.

After what appears to be over 9 km’s, the regroup was discovered and the group prepared for outdoor down down’s.

Down Down’s

The group prepared for the down down celebration. Abandoned Pussy was the religious advisor for the evening, and proceeded to pick a choir to start the festivities.

Choir: Scoobie, Mr. Peanut and Insane Bolt

AP got into her program and thanked the hares for setting a trail to remember. Other down downs to the archives and visitors, as well as birthday and trail transgressions.

Eventually, we ran out of material and were declared “on the piss”. Some enthusiasts retired to Citizen Brewing for a debrief.

Trail Summary

A long and hard trail that we will never forget. With checkbacks, some achieved > 9km. A great overachievement demonstration.

Run 2369 – Who Gives A Fawkes

November 4, 2024 The Scribe

Hares: Snevil, Camshaft, Mmmm Lady Fingers

Location: The Trop Bar & Grill

RA: Hump the Shark

Attendance: 27

A point with a view

The Beginning

With much enthusiasm, Snevil volunteered to set trail for the hash on what is coincidentally Guy Fawkes day. We are pleased that Snevil stepped forward as this date had not been filled as of last week. Perhaps it is the stigma with the date, for those familiar with the Guy Fawkes story. Back in 1605, Guy Fawkes planned to blow up the English parliament building with 36 barrels of gunpowder. He was unsuccessful and was charged with treason. The day is also know as Gunpowder Treason Day. Look it up if you wish to know more about the fun times of 1605.

In spite of the date, Snevil successfully found a pub that was not closed, booked, or hosting trivia. The Trop was selected for the run start in the Marda Loop/Mount Royal part of town. Historically a dive bar know at the Tropicana, it now represents itself as a venue suitable for a group like the Hash!

Snevil coerced Camshaft and Mmmmm Lady Fingers to assist as this was to be a epic trail requiring many marks.

Hashers appeared and filled up the place prior to the run. With the changing of the clocks off daylight savings time, it was now “really dark” at the start of the run.

Eventually, it was time to go outside to greet the chilly, dark evening. PMS rounded us up and Insane Bolt lead the circle.

Events, awards and archives were acknowledged. Apparently Menage has a significant birthday looming, and was suitably adorned.

The hares were called into the circle to describe the marks for tonight’s trail. Of note were “two view points” and some cryptic symbols that we had to figure out.

Camshaft, Snevil and Mmmmm Lady Fingers get ready

MD is Mucky Dip’s former residence. GP … Perhaps related to the General Wolfe statue on trail

There was mention of some pink flagging for the wilderness portions of the trail. The pack was released to find the marks.

The Trail

Off into the dark alleys and streets of Marda Loop in search of marks. On On was called and we followed trail and checked out all the check backs.

We had wilderness trail that was a challenge to follow in the dark.

Eventually, we stumbled upon the regroup wagon and enjoyed delicious beverages in the back alley near the pub.

With the regroup completed, it was on to the Trop for the down down ceremony.

Down Down’s

Now back at the pub, we got ourselves organized and found seats, beer and food. They had pointy projectiles with feathers that looked totally not dangerous in the hands of a hasher.

Time to get this party started. Hump the Shark graciously offered to conduct the event. Appointed Insane Bolt and Liquor Lots as choir and we were set.

The hares, the birthday girl, and other incredible offences were rewarded with down down’s.

Strap On demonstrating her new super power

Of course there was a birthday just about today. There was much rejoicing and eating little cup cakes.

Hot Liquor, representing the sitting hash, was acknowledged for his great contributions to society.

Eventually, with the cup cakes eaten and no more stories to tell, Hump the Shark declared us “on the piss”.

With all that done, we were able to get back to our mingling and socializing.

A fine trail somewhere between 7 and 8 kms depending on how many check backs you were sucked into.

Run 2368 – Hat House Harriers Halloween Howl

RA: Hump the Shark

Attendance: 26

Hard to Imagine!

The Beginning

With Halloween approaching, the group had to figure out what to do. Some years we have done a pub crawl with full costume, while other years we have been more restrained,

This year, it was a half way “wear a Halloween Hat” theme. Snow Blower set trail with the emotional assistance of Booty Camp from the ever popular Two House Brewing Taproom and Pizza. Close to the elevated C-Train track and the Sunalta neighbourhood, a great location for a run.

Some of us were a bit tardy to the run start, so we were a bit rushed trying to capture the “beginning”. It would appear that many hashers sporting hats were present. Some went “full costume” as that is what makes their world turn. A reasonable turn out of 26 or so hashers was achieved. Did I mention that it is now dark when we start the runs?

A few shots to capture the enthusiasm of the group!

PMS used her best bossy tone to get the group organized for the hares to tell us about the trail.

PMS checking her flexibility and clapping to keep the evil spirts at bay

Fast trail making with the tandem technique

Snow Blow indicated that the first mark was the arrow head west into the urban darkness. The pack was released!

The Trail

Starting along 10 ave SW, in the shadow of the elevated C-Trail tracks, we headed west until we found the check at the C-Trail station. As expected, a massive check back was set up for the keen runners. A large group returned to the check after they realized they had been had.

Hot Cheeks was caught out on a raised access cover on the sidewalks. The went down on trail and was not pleased. I’m sure the city will drop by and fix the tripping hazard at their convenience. Hot Cheeks survived to finish the trail.

Tripping hazard, as demonstrated by Hot Cheeks!

Off through the neighbourhoods, there was endless climbing up to near 17 Ave SW. We were driven by the fact that what goes up must come down. Parks and decoration were enjoyed on the trail.

A viewpoint was promised and delivered.

Off through the neighbourhoods to check out the decorations. The size of the skeletons attracted the interest of some of the Harrierettes.

Camshaft and Booty Camp happy to be there!

On In and Down Down’s

After our regroup, we headed over to Two House Taproom and Pizza. Busy place with trivia going full bore. We had a reserved table, which was good. Food and refreshments were enjoyed, then we retired to the patio for the closing ceremonies.

As it appeared that trivia would never end, we headed out to the patio to conduct the down down’s. Hump the Shark was religious advisor. Tighty Whitey, caught bashing, was volunteered to be choir.

The hares were thanked, and many crimes and offences were dealt with.

There was much mirth and merriment focused on Booty Camp’s costume hat. An undue amount of attention to the dangling bits was quite a spectacle.

Eventually, the down down’s were done and we were on the piss.

Run 2367 – AP Does Mahogany in the Snow

October 21, 2024 The Scribe

RA: Hump the Shark

Attendance: 16

Yacht Parking in Mahogany SW

The Beginning

Abandoned Pussy was pressured to set trail for the group. Happy to help, she chose her neighbourhood of Mahogany SE which is very far south. In addition, she arranged for the first day of snow to appear on the day of her run. Darkness is also a thing so headlights on at the beginning of the run is now a thing. In spite of all these opportunities, AP pulled it off and set a great trail.

Being this far south, you never know how long it will take to get there. For those living in the North, it was like an expedition. However, those folks that figured it out were entertained by a great trail in the modern new neighbourhood with complete with lakeside mansions and Halloween lights galore.

The start location was in a park called Central Park. Not to be confused with other parks in Calgary also named Central Park, that are not in Mahogany. Google Maps had it sorted.

With diminishing twilight, the runners arrived and a circle was formed.

The park had some interesting features including a significant slide and a hiding place that looked like an airplane fuselage.

As we got things organized, PMS commanded the circle into existence and went through the formalities. A few late cummers missed the circle, so not everyone got a souvenir photo to remember the event. Missed new boot Just Christian, Hardly and Twisty, and King Shit (Vinnie).

We went through the announcements and introductions. Abandoned Pussy was called into the circle to describe the run marks.

The run began in the direction provided by AP.

The Trail

Madly off to find the marks. Those marks that survived the snow dusting were difficult to see. Flagging was good it you knew where to look.

In this high density, new neighbourhood, lots of fancy lights and Halloween decorations. Playgrounds were tested and proved interesting with the new snow.

The fake lake provided some great views of the McMansions with personal docks for their watercraft. Who knew this existed in this part of the world!

Down Down’s

In the park, in the cold, in the snow. What a great set up for down down’s. As such, we opted for an abbreviated version to suite the circumstances. A picnic shelter (of some sort) has some cover to keep our ceremonies someone covert.

Religious Advisor was Hump the Shark. Songs from the group. Get this done!

Apparently there was a half yard celebration. Normally, we try to heat the beer to suitable drinking temperature using a volunteer hasher with the right equipment. Slippy Thong opted for the blanket approach for half yard warming.

Hares, other offences and ultimately the half yard performance made a great abbreviated performance.

LSOS was challenged by the coolness of the beer. As such, the consumption was attenuated to manage throat temperature. After some some, it was all done and we rejoiced! It was not a world speed record.

Normally would have the “its done” shot here. Slow process.

Eventually, LSOS completed his award and we were declared “on the piss” by Hump the Shark.

Some of the group retired to the warmth of the Blackbird Urban Pub for further celebration.

Trail Summary

The scenic trail was slightly over 5 km in length. Quite scenic with all the lights and decorations from this upscale community. Some of us had a longer distance as we did not stop our devices at the end of the run. Have the car travelled distance to the pub included in this rendition.

Turkey Getting Hot!

The Beginning

Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks for many things. Some of these include: Special beer for the hash from Village brewing, someone who volunteers to host the hash on Thanksgiving day, Hashers that help with the turkey and pot luck goodies, and lastly the weather.

Recollections of winter conditions at Thanksgiving are not uncommon. To have a 22C sunny day on Thanksgiving is unusual. Perhaps global warming is not such a bad thing here!

Stool Stuffer and Rashy Bush hosted the run and the feast from their new Fairview mansion. The million dollar views of downtown and the Rockies were a fine setting for the run and feast. A reasonable turn out of 23 intrepid soles, including visitors, made for a good group.

The pack assembled in the Stoolie/Rashy back yard and the keg was tapped prior to the run. Turkey cooking in the smoker smelled delicious. The preliminaries were interrupted by the call for the circle.

The circle formed on the front lawn much to the amusement of the neighbours. PMS made things happen.

The circle proceeded with announcements and the usual procedures. Visitor from Norway, Buzz Light Year confirmed that we attract international attention! Stool Stuffer took a break from his Turkey smoking duties to tell us about the trail and what marks to look for.

The Trail

The first mark was a check. Off went the pack to follow the marks that lead deep into the inner reaches of Fairview.

Eventually to runners made it to the park to play. Walkers played as well!

Thankfully Playground 3 was close to the regroup. Here, the pack sorted out their chairs and found suitable refreshment.

Regroup and rehydration. Down Down’s then food!

The Down Down’s

Hardly did the Religious Advisor role. Beverages were carefully poured and a choir was selected.

Choir – Abandoned Pussy (AP), Hot Cheeks, and Frogadile Hunter

The down down’s were delivered with skill and finesse. There were a large number of hash shits at the run that need to be dispensed with. No shortage of material!

With down down’s complete, it was time to be “on the piss”, or in the case “on the food”. As the scribe was overcome with joy that the down down’s were now done and he could enjoy the rest of the day. Not a lot of food shots were taken. Here is a proxy of the wonderful feast we were thankful for!

Run 2365 – A Twisty Adventure in the Northern Lights!

October 7, 2024 The Scribe

The Beginning

Twisted Sister has a birthday and decides to set trail for us all to enjoy. All seemed in good order. Citizen Brewing for the on after. Apparently, you had to look at the website to see that the run actually started at the Tuxedo Park Community Association, located 600 metres away. Not a problem for those that knew.

For those waiting at Citizen Brewing for the run to start, there seemed to be few hashers present. Checking the run details was enlightening, so a quick relocate for those like myself that were at Citizen Brewing waiting for a run.

Arriving just in time to join the circle in progress, we quickly got organized and got caught up with the run, and scrambled to get pictures as the sun set was approximately the run start time. I suspect that Insane Bolt, our newly minted Hashmaster, may have run the circle for the first time!

PMS, Stool Stuffer and Lying Sack of Shit

Twister Sister was called into the circle to show us the marks being used to the run.

With the trail described to the group, Twisty directed us to start running “over there”. The pack was off.

The Trail

The trail was laid in the neighbourhood of Tuxedo park. A bit of up and down, as well as streets that were at weird directions. Lots of Halloween decorations to take in on the trail.

And there were parks. Playing was encouraged and darkness was a thing.

The last playground was adjacent to the run start location. As such, we were done and the down down’s were going to be outside in the dark. Regroup beer was enjoyed.

Some of us rescued cars from the wrong start location, getting extra steps in. Back to the regroup to enjoy the down down’s.

Down Down’s

Hardly was appointed the Religious Advisor and organized the refreshments and the choir.

On of the themes for the run was to find all the Hash Shits that were “out there” As such, there was quite a collection of long lost items that were delivered to the RA for our ceremonial enjoyment.

Flossy has been found, as well as the Hat Shit

The Choir sang themselves a song, and the down down’s commenced!

Checking the fit. Lazy Cummer has a new shirt

The continuity of the down downs was disturbed by some light show in the sky. We had to pause to do the “oooh’s and aaah’s” as the Northern Lights did their thing.

We wrapped up with Twisty getting birthday Northern Lights “just for her”.

We were declared “on the piss” by Hardly. Some chose to continue to celebration at Citizen Brewing Company.

CH3 MisManagement Revealed!

The Beginning

A lot to pack in to the last run in September. Not only was it orange shirt day everywhere, it was the annual Erections run where new MisManagement is announced.

The start location was the Marda Loop Brewing Company. As Marda Loop is in a perpetual state of reconstruction with associated detours and parking challenges. My GPS directed me on a road that was closed.

Thankfully, we new about the secret parking behind the pub, and all was made good again. People in orange gathered in the pub awaiting the start of the run.

On In and PMS declared that it was time to form a circle outside on the sidewalk. Another feature of the run was impending darkness. The shortness of daylight is becoming more a headlight required condition for enjoying the run.

Pyro with archives Mydol, No Hare, and Hooplala

On In went through the circle. Archives Mydol, No Hare and Hooplala. Snow Blower celebrating 250 runs. The hares were called into the circle to explain the marks for the trail.

Hot Cheeks pointed in a direction and the pack was released.

The Trail

The trail headed off into the streets and sidewalks of the Marda Loop neighbourhood. Many checks and false trail were included in the mix. Eventually, the trail was discovered and followed.

With the light fading, we eventually made our way to the regroup which was in a secret location.

A fine selection of refreshments were enjoyed prior to heading back to the pub for the down down’s and erections.

On In and Down Down’s

We had a section of the patio reserved for the group. As we got settled in, the fine Marda Loop Brewing products came out.

Hump the Shark was appointed as Religious Advisor and the refreshments were poured and made ready.

The choir was Skewbic Hair and Slow Clap. Between the two of them, they knew just about enough songs.

The celebration of the run started with acknowledging the hares. Then multiple offences and crimes before the big event….Erections!

And then, PMS took charge to announce the new mismanagement.

As mismanagement positions are highly desirable and sought after, the back room wheeling and dealing was complete and we had a team engaged to sustain the group for another year.

On In was thanked for his tenure as co Hashmaster, and Insane Bolt will fill his shoes. PMS was coerced in holding onto her Hashmatress role for “one more year”.

Co-Hashmasters (Hashmatress) – Insane Bolt and PMS. On In’s job is done!

There were other changes in the ranks, and this will be posted on the website. Here is a group shot of CH3 MisManagement: 2024-2025.

The group survives for another year of debauchery

On the piss was declared and we were done.
