Peace Bridge!

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

As the crowd arrived it was was time to head out to run the circle.

The circle formed with a reasonable turn out of hashers,

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

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

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

The Trail

Off we go into the construction zones nearby. Searching for marks which were found!

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.

The hares were acknowledged for setting a fine trail.

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!

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

A Viewpoint in the Mayland Heights NE Neighbourhood

The Beginning

We were pleased and Camshaft and Mmmmmm Lady Fingers volunteered to set trail on a fine February evening. They chose a location in a obscure neighbourhood of Crossroads NE, adjacent to the Deerfoot Trail and Trans Canada highway.

A neighbourhood with some history, we stated from Gally’s Neighbourhood Pub in a 1950’s strip mall. It had a special vibe to it and happy hour prices for those pre run beverages. The weather was horrible with cold and snow rolling in making highway travel difficult.

Inside, where it was warm and dry, the crowd assembled in anticipation of a fine trail and some urban exploring.

Insane Bolt called for the group to head outside to circle up in the snow.

Insane Bolt ran the circle, going through the announcement and introductions.

The hares were called in to describe the marks they had set out for the trail.

Camshaft pointed in a direction and the pack was released.

The Trail

Off like a herd of turtles, trying to find marks through the recent blanket of snow. Out of the shopping centre and into the neighbourhood. Marks were spotted and the pack was afoot.

Some fine views of the city were found. All made more romantic with the constant buzz of the Deerfoot Trail enhanced by the airplanes that were landing continuously.

There was some art to be found. Who knew that they had this stuff hidden in this neighbourhood!

There was mention of a shot stop. We were pleased when we found this!

Off again to find the trail. Some hashers invented their own way back to find the regroup. A fine trail!

Eventually, back to the parking lot to find the awaiting vehicle with yummy refreshments!

Back to the pub to prepare for the down down’s.

The Down Down’s

The pack assembled in the pub and settled down to order food and beer. The Religious Advisor, Lazy Cummer worked on his material for the down down’s.

With the program complete, it was time to beg for next week’s Religious Advisor. Liquor Lots said no, then she became a maybe with help from Camshaft. I am sure she will do a great job.

With down down’s complete, we were declared “on the piss”

Exploring the Ravines of Evanston NW

The Beginning

Insane Bolt agreed to set trail in the extreme North part of town. For those of in the South, to have a run set “North of Stoney Trail”, is like having to travel large distances to the run start.

Thankfully, Google Maps can tell you how to get there from where you are at.

The start point was found in the Creekside strip mall, which also harbours the Pet Plant store formerly owned by an ancient hasher, Knobby.

Inside the pub the group found some tables set aside for us to congregate.

Camshaft called the group out to form a circle outside. With the weather sill unseasonably warm, most of the ice and snow had been dissipated.

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

The hare was called into the circle to explain the marks he has places in this northern neighbourhood for the pack to discover.

The pack was released into the parkland behind the mall to find the trails and the marks!

The Trail

Off through the parking lot to find the first marks. There were pathways in the dark where marks could be found.

OPP makes sure that Josh does not get too lost

After some confusion with the Eagle/Turkey split, parts of the pack managed to find the regroup vehicle and enjoy the adult beverages contained within,

The runners eventually appeared after their long distance trek to also enjoy refreshments.

After a fine regroup is was time to go back to the pub to find some food and refreshments.

The group found tables, food and beer and all was good again!

The Down Down’s

The beer was poured in preparation for the closing ceremonies. Camshaft was Religious Advisor for the evening. His long trip away in the warmth had revitalized his has spirit.

Tales and crimes were figured out, and it was time to go.

The RA was ready and it was showtime!

A choir was selected with Snow Blower and Mmmmmm Lady Fingers engaged to select the songs.

The Onesie of shame was acknowledged and dealt with. XXX Ray did a fine job of wearing the colours!

And now, for the main event, PMS has a milestone acknowledging 500 runs.

A find job done by Camshaft and we were declared “on the piss”. The group settled into more socializing and refreshment consumption.

Run Summary

A great trail in a new neighbourhood was set by Insane Bolt. Some were able to squeeze 9 km’s out of the trail. The moderate turkeys landed at 5 km+. Who knew we could have such a great run so far north!

City View Point from Radisson Heights

The Beginning

Dastardly and Hardly volunteered to set trail to honour two causes, Ground Hog Day and Lay’em in Snow Memorial Run (hence Brown Dog Day). Ends up being a very long run title. Lay’em in Snow was a long term hasher who passed away recently (3 years ago). He was know for having some sort of brown dog (Luna). He is in our thoughts.

The run started near the trendy neighbourhoods of Forest Lawn and Radisson Heights. With a surprising number of parks and schools, the set the stage for multiple playground opportunities.
