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.

Big group!
We have marks!

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!

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.

Multiple Hash Holds On This Fine Trail!

The Beginning

With spring in the air, King Shit and Bacchanal volunteered to set trail on this mid April day. The weather was good and the hares had planned a multi stop adventure to celebrate the day. The start point was Citizen Brewing Company, a location familiar to the group. As this was a A to B run. the down downs were at a local pub called Offside Pub and Eatery. Some chose to park in between the A and the B.

The pack assembled at Citizen Brewing, some enjoying a pre run refreshment.

Of interest, is that Citizen is next door to Pyro’s secret training centre. We now know how Pyro keeps in good shape!

PMS stepped in and sent us across the street to the customer parking lot to circle up. We had visitors, birthdays and a new boot, plus numerous versions of the hash shit available for distribution.

PMS called the hares into the circle to describe the marks. Bacchanal declared this to be a special day on the calendar, Cake and Cunnilingus Day (C&C Day) and that special treats would be available at the hash hold.

Here are some of the marks
Including viewpoint (VP) and trail treasures (TT)

There were multiple hash holds on the run promising some interesting experiences! As well, there was talk of five playgrounds for your playing pleasure.

We were directed to the first marks and the pack was released.

The Trail

Up the hill following marks that lead to a false trail. Around in circles through the alleys to eventually find true trail.

Trail Summary

The run was somewhere between 7 and 8 km’s. Not counting the long walk back to where the cars were parked. A fine trail with fun hash holds!

Run 2343 – Birthday Special – Breaking in the New Digit

Hare: Camshaft and Mmmmm Lady Fingers

Location: 4616 Vegas Rd NW, Calgary, AB T3A 0M9

RA: Hump the Shark
Attendance: 34

First there was a tree
Then the hashers came

The Beginning

This run has been in the planning stages for years. The important consideration was a birthday marking the beginning of a new decade of an important hasher. Mmmm Lady Fingers has crossed of the chasm of aging, leaving the serenity of the 50’s for the turbulence of the 60’s. She has embraced this challenge with multiple birthday celebration events, culminating with Run 2343, the birthday run.

The run was set from their Varsity mansion, enabling the hash to check our the various pathways and parks in the neighbourhood. An epic trail was planned and executed, drawing a large crowd of 34 hashers, including archives and new boots! Word was out that this was an event not to be missed.

The group circled up in the laneway to receive the instructions to follow to complete the trail.

Introductions, announcements, run marks description now done, the pack was released.

The Trail

The pack was released to find the marks. The trail took them through the pathways and alleys within earshot of Crowchild Trail. A clever false trail using the pedestrian bridges by the light rail transit station created confusion for most of the pack. Parks and frolic galore. Eventually, the trail was solved the the smarter hashers and all was good.

On on!

Playtime was appropriately observed in all parks that were on trail. Scaring some small children in the process!

Something like this

And then, legitimate regroup pictures appears from the interweb! A large turn out deserves a big picture!

The Down Downs

Hump the Shark was RA and singled out Lofty Prancer and Hardly as choir.

It’s that look…..

Through the line up, apparently the hare was down downed for setting a shitty trail and extending a birthday to a birth week celebration!

We have archives in abundance. A good turn out from the old gang. Birthdays do that for some people…..

Apparently Strap On wore new shoes and was able to savour the new shoe taste!

Like my new shoes
Yes we like your new shoes. Here, drink from them to break them in!
This is what I live for!

Stork like stretching from Daisy Duke and CYHMN. This is what scares people away from the group.

The crime
The recreation!

A naming happened. Just Amy finally did something that warrants a name. The story goes that Just Amy was wearing an “M” word shirt, celebrating the Bacchus Marathon. Bacchus is a wine company.

Who me?
Yes that is the “M” word
Something back here too!

The literati in the hash came up the “Bacchanal”, a follower of Bacchus. The dictionary supports this with the definition: “an occasion of wild and drunken revelry“.

And there is more….

The nocturnal version of the Bacchanalia involved wine-drinking to excess, drunkenness and the free mingling of the sexes and classes; the rites also involved loud music.

Bacchanal will carry this name forward in the hash universe with pride.

There were other offences too numerous to catalogue. Here is a collage of some of the outcomes.

Sexual offence – Matching shirts

Rashy did something to Stoolie
Insane likes this hash shit soo much!

Eventually, the formal closing ceremonies were done and it was “on the piss”. Let the after party begin….

Apparently the birthday buzz was still strong and the monumental naming kept an amount of momentum for the group. Not sure of the details, but ask those involved if the party ever really ended….

The Trail Summary

A fine trail of 6’ish km’s. Great trails through the neighbourhood with fantastic views.
