The Beginning

Well, the teachers are on strike again. As we have teachers in our group, it was decided that they should host the run on the first day of their strike.

Abandoned Pussy, Princess Monkey Spanker and Hot Cheeks agreed to set trail from Bottlescrew Bill’s Pub on 10 Ave SW, just on the south side of the train tracks. They encouraged the group to wear something red to support their cause.

A good turn out of 24 hashers arrived for the trail. The weather was good and all were eager to run the trail the teachers had set through the beltline and downtown neighbourhoods!

The group assembled outside getting ready for the circle to begin.

Our freshly minted Hashmaster called the circle to order. We had visitors and archives plus announcements prior to the introductions.

Camshaft took control and successfully ran the circle, a success for the new Hashmaster.

Such a good circle!

The hares were called into the circle to explain the marks that had been set for the trail.

Other marks as well!
Such suckers…. They have no idea!

The pack was released to find the true trail.

The Trail

Off under the tracks toward downtown seemed like a good idea, until the false trail was found and the pack returned. Eventually true trail marks were found and the pack was On On!

With the true trail discovered, the pack followed the marks and explored the neighbourhood!

Eventually, the art walk was over and the pack ending up doing outdoor down down’s at a parking lot close to Bottlescrew Bill’s. Abandoned Pussy was the Religious Advisor (RA).

With the down down’s complete, the pack was declared to be “on the piss”. Suspect some retired back to Bottlescrew Bill’s for a debrief.

Trail Summary

Looks like somewhere between 6 km and 8 km through the beltline neighbourhoods.

Hash Extra

Some of us had to endure a wine tour through the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia. Will not bore you with the details.

Bridge all lit up!

The Beginning

The last run of 2024 and Abandoned Pussy steps up to set trail. Did we say thank you for setting trail? The Christmas and New Years season has many runs to celebrate Boxing Day and New Years day. As such, a regular Monday run in the midst of these special runs can sometimes be a challenge to get excited about.

However, AP setting from downtown will be special. As she lives in one of the most southern neighbourhoods in Calgary, setting downtown involved some travel time.

The weather was turning cold, but Monday was not as cold as Tuesday will be. A small, but interested group showed up and was prepared for a downtown running adventure.

Some of us arrived a bit late and missed the warm up inside. There, just in time to catch the circle forming outside on the patio.

A collection of 13 intrepid hashers were present and AP had some plans for us!

On In performed the Hashmaster duties as those folks are away. On In went through an abbreviated introduction and invited AP into the circle to tell us about the marks.

The Trail

The pack was released to find the marks. A dusting of snow from when the trail was set suggested that some marks would be unreadable. Not to be discouraged, marks on vertical surfaces were still good to go.

Waiting patiently
Calgary Tower looking very seasonal
Good to wait to cross safely!

As we meandered through the downtown, we cam across the soon to be demolished Olympic Plaza. Much activity with tourists and unhoused folks to keep us on our toes!

There were not a lot of playgrounds on the trail, so we had to fully use what we found.

More sights and sounds of downtown were observed as we made it back over the river.

Having the hare close by meant we avoided making too many mistakes trying to find the regroup. At the top of a parking structure, High Park was were we had set up refreshments for the regroup.

All done with the regroup, back to the bar to get set up for the down down’s.

Down Down’s

We had tables reserved in the back of Bottlescrew Bill’s which served us well.

Ready for beer and food. Down Down’s to follow!
Are we not important?

Hump the Shark was the Religious Advisor and selected Skewbic Hair for a one person choir. Complicated my role as photo guy, so that was outsourced to Mucky Dip!

RA ready

Let me mirth and merriment begin. Thank the hare, call out a number of offences, hand out hash shit for no particular reason. Bid farewell to a couple of Harrierettes that had some kind of a concert conflict…..unthinkable.

Here’s to the Hare!

For those who were in the right place at the right time, a round of nachos was provided by our generous hasher who had profited from his gambling hobby that evening.

Nachos for everyone!

Down Down’s continued until we were done and declared “on the piss”.

Trail Summary

Racked out a significant number of km’s on this one. In the 8-9 km range with lots to take in! Fine trail by AP, the last of 2024. You are welcome to set more trail in 2025. Great way to finish off 2024 runs.

This map suggests that we were all over the place. I suspect the GPS spy satellites had trouble tracking us with the tall buildings all around.
