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.
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!
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.

Trail Summary
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.
