Fish Creek Spring Wonderland

The Beginning

At a moment of weakness, Hot Cheeks and Slippy Thong were prepared to embrace the spring weather and set a run from the winds of Bebo Grove in Fish Creek Provincial Park. Sounded like a great plan as it has been sunny and mild for weeks. Park run with outdoor down down’s. A utopian vision.

As spring weather is also variable, a large dump of snow changed the plan. Plan B is the set trail from a warm pub in Woodbine SW, but include some of the Fish Creek trails which were now snow covered. Strapon ice cleats highly recommended.

The pack gathered in a non descript pub in the the SW, in the community of Woodbine (Woodlands). Suitably dodgy in appearance, it seemed well suited to host the hash.

The pack gathered and found suitable seating while the big screen showed some kind of hockey match featuring the loosing local team.

Insane Bolt declared that it was time to head outside in the daylight and circle up.

A reasonable turn out given the somewhat not so nice weather. If you were dressed for winter, the spring run would be “just fine”.

Insane Bolt went through the announcements and introductions. Called in the new person, Just Stephen, into the circle so we could introduce ourselves.

The hares were called into the circle and described the marks we were to follow on the trail.

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

The Trail

Out of the parking lot, the pack spread out to find the marks that the hares had prepared for us to find.

Some sort of posing for the photographer. Yes, there is a mark on that bench.

As we descend into Fish Creek Park, the trail becomes more winter like. Fortunately, the paved trails had seen a plow.

Eventually, the trail lead back to the pub, and the regroup was located in the parking lot nearby!

Back to the pub to settle in and find some beverages and food in anticipation of the down down’s.

Good deals on the beer and food, so everyone was happy to this point!

The Down Down’s

The previous week, Insane Bolt volunteered to the the Religious Advisor (RA) for the down down ceremonies. As such, he has had a week to think about and prepare material.

Insane Bolt launched into action. He appointed a choir of Mr. PeeeeeNut and Shakesbeer, who sang themselves a song.

First, the hares were brough up and thanked for an epic Slippy trail.

With the down down’s complete, it was time to enjoy the Red Crowns hospitality.

Trail Summary

Looks like 6 – 7 km of trail were enjoyed by some. Excellent effort setting trail in crappy weather for the group to enjoy. Our introduction to Fish Creek trail was a fun time.

Hash Extra

Because we can, we are seeing what AI can do for the trail. So far…. interesting.

The Beginning

Thankfully, Booty Camp and Snow Blower once again pitch in to save the hash. Apparently, they like setting trail as they are in contention for gold status in our frequent trail setting program.

They chose Kampus Brewing Co. as the start/finish location. This pub, close to the university, is hash friendly.

The group assembled in a section that had been put aside for us. Time to check out the deals and specials awaiting us when we return.

Insane Bolt announces it is time to head outside to circle up. Daylight is now a thing with the arrival of spring!

A good turn out for the group. A combination of daylight, warmer temperatures and spring have encouraged folks to come out and play!

Camshaft ran the circle and went through the announcements and introductions. We had a good number or visitors, archives and new boots!

The hares were called into the circle to describe the marks they had made for the pack to follow.

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

The Trail

Off to find the marks on the streets and adjacent parking lots. Lots of high density stuff around here,, but the trail was found and the pack was off!

Following marks, we eventually found the regroup with suitable refreshments available for the group.

From the regroup, a short walk back to the bar to settle in and figure out the beer and food menu.

The group settled down waiting patiently for the down down’s to begin

The Down Down’s

Karate Klit was the Religious Advisor (RA) for the evening. Thankfully, she volunteered last week so has had ample time to tune her mind for a great performance. Some last minute encouragement from Hump the Shark to smooth out the delivery.

Karate Klit was ready, and jumped into action with her RA performance!

A choir was selected of Snow Blower and Stool Stuffer, who sang themselves a song.

The parade of crimes, accusations, and stories was delivered. First, the hares for setting such a fine trail.

Apparently, the wearing of new shoes created an opportunity to transfer the Onesie of Shame to a new recipient.

After all was through, Karate Klit declared the group “on the piss”.

The pack settled down to eating and drinking after a fine RA performance.

Trail Summary

A fine trail of some 6 km was enjoyed by the pack. Both sides of Crowchild Trail and some great neighbourhood romps.

Hash Extra

Apparently the walkers were having some amount of fun. Here is the evidence?

Typical St. Paddy’s Day Posture

The Beginning

St. Patrick’s Day, or there abouts, is a time for celebration. St. Patrick’s Day, celebrated on March 17, honours the patron saint of Ireland, marking the day of his death. Originally a religious feast day commemorating the arrival of Christianity in Ireland, it has evolved into a global celebration of Irish culture, heritage, and pride, featuring parades, special foods, music, and wearing green.

It was appropriate that Slow Clap and Roaring Nancy volunteered to set trail as they are familiar with the colour green. The venue selected was Murdoch’s Bar & Grill, with is an Irish Pub. The weather was good with a chinook blowing in, making for nice warm and sloppy weather!

The pack arrived at the pub, found parking, and heading inside to prepare for the run.

Keeping track of the time, Insane Bolt announced that it was time to head outside and circle up.

A good turnout of hashers was present to celebrate all things green, and pretend to have some sort of Irish connection engage.

Insane Bolt was called into the circle to go through the announcements and introductions. A good turnout of 27 hashers all dressed up and ready for a fine run.

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

You have now idea what we have planned for you

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

The Trail

Off from the parking lot, the runners and the walkers dispersed to find the appropriate marks.

Apparently the runners had a much better time. Here is some evidence that there was active playing and trail tracking.

From the regroup, the pack headed back to the pub to prepare for the down down’s.

Down Down’s

Back to the pub, the group settled down to figure out what beer and food to order in anticipation for the down down’s to start.

King Shit was the Religious Advisor (RA) for the evening. King Shit had his program prepared and launched into the program.

First up were the hares, who had set a fine trail for the pack this evening.

Dastardly, Hot Pants and Scoobie – excessive walking

Trail Summary

A fine trail of some 5 km was set and enjoyed by the group. Thanks for Slow Clap and Roaring Nance for setting trail and for encouraging all things green.

Hash Extra

There was much exuberance around St, Patrick’s Day. Here are some additional pictures that demonstrate the vibe.

Good to the last drop

The Beginning

We were pleased that we had volunteers to hare this run. A time to Celebrate with the clocks moving forward one hour. This means that we actually start the run “in the light”, though finish in the twilight/dark. This will continue to improve each week!

The starting location was Veranda at The Stables in the Garrison Green neighbourhood. This location promotes both Burwood Distillery and Vacay Brew Co. products. How convenient for the hash. Apparently, Vacay Brewing has a new location with a taproom in Marda Loop which is not yet opened. Stay tuned!

Finding parking and figuring out which door was the right one was somewhat confusing. However, being a smart bunch we figured it out and made our way inside.

Inside, we were directed to a section where we would congregate after the run was completed.

After sufficient milling about, we were instructed to go outside and form a circle in the parking lot to the west.

Hashers tormenting the photographer by feigning happiness

A good turn out, likely motivated by the daylight and the surprise snowstorm from the previous day.

Camshaft ran the circle and went through the announcements and introductions. We had a visitor for Los Angeles, Grandma’s Cookie.

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

With the instructions complete, the pack was released to find the marks for true trail.

The Trail

Off from the parking lot, the pack spread out to seek out the marks.

From the regroup it was back to the Veranda at The Stables to prepare for the down down’s.

The group settled in and waited patiently for the down down’s to begin.

The Down Down’s

Mr. PeeeeeNut volunteered to be the Religious Advisor (RA) at the previous run. As such, he had spent the week getting mentally prepared for the task.

The beverages were procured and prepared for some of the special awards this evening. In particular, we had two milestone awards involving a half yard vessel of refreshment.

Much car was taken to get the half yards loaded and ready to go.

With the preparations complete, it was time for Mr. PeeeeeNut to conduct the ceremony.

A choir was selected of Roaring Nancy and Booty Camp. They were recognized by singing themselves a suitable song.

Mr. PeeeNut went through his list of crimes, accusations and stories, starting with the hares.

The high point of the down down’s was the acknowledgement of 1600 runs, achieved by Hardly and Twisty. A monumental event worth acknowledging.

A fine display of half yard handling!

Subsequent down down’s included our visitor for Los Angeles, Grandma’s Cookie, who has come to visit. Important to ensure that the visitors are welcomed appropriately!

Visitor – Grandma’s Cookie from California

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

Mr. PeeeeeNut wrapped things up and we were declared “on the piss”. The group then settled down and enjoyed the company and the ambiance of the Veranda.

Trail Summary

A great trail of 5-6 km was delivered for the enjoyment of the group. Great job by Liquor Lots, Lazy Cummer and OPP in setting this up.

The Beginning

The group was having trouble with hare raising. The group is small and folks are busy with winter activities. Thankfully, Hardly agreed to do this run with the help of Dastardly.

The location selected was the Brickwell Taphouse, conveniently located the Thornhill neighbourhood off Centre Street, straddling the NW and NE boundary.

The group assembled inside and checked out the ambiance and beer/food specials.

Camshaft decreed that it was time to circle up. So outside we went into the cool evening. The air seemed cooler here than in the south part of town where is was quite warm!
