The Beginning

Summer is a great time to be outside in Calgary. Unfortunately, a lot of the group have travel plans so it is sometime difficult to attract both hares and runners. Daisy Duke apparently realized it was his turn to set trail, and was able to use his influence to get Stoneyslope Brewing Company to open on a Monday evening when they are usually closed.

The Monday before Canada Day is kind of weird. Seems like a lot of people take the day off to make an extra long weekend. Monday at 7:00 pm is Hash Time regardless, so the plan was to set and run the trail. A warm up to the Canada Day run that Pyro will set on the next day!

It appears that we still had our African visitors around for another hash with us. Thus, a reasonable turn out given the circumstances.

Your illustrious scribe, Skewbic Hair, was enjoying the beach life in Manitoba, thus made a plea to others to provide pictures and notes from the run. This is a remote reporting of the run I was not on.

Dastardly provided pre run Jello shots to put the group in the mood for the run.

It would appear that we had a circle in the parking lot of Stoneyslope Brewing with Insane Bolt running the circle.

With the announcements and introductions complete, it was time for Insane Bolt to introduce the hare to the circle.

Daisy appeared and used some props as marking posts to describe the marks for the evening. I am sure that you all remember the marks and the description of the trail provided.

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

The Trail

From Stoneyslope Brewing Company parking lot, the trail explored the reaches of Haysboro SW. A fine collection of roads, pathways and alley’s were navigated to create a joyful experience for the hash.

Unending trail went on for a great distance. You could see the expression of desperation in the faces of the forlorn hashers.

After an extreme effort in the summer heat, the regroup was located and the group went into drinking and socializing mode to try and forget the epic trail they had just completed.

Eventually, it was time to walk across the parking lot to Stoneyslope Brewing to prepare for the down down’s.

The Down Down’s

We set up on the picnic tables in the parking lot and got ready for the down down’s. Shakesbeer volunteered to be the Religious Advisor for the evening, so he got ready with the program.

In grand style, the down down’s started and there was much rejoicing. Many offences and crimes were committed on trail and all were duly celebrated.

I looks like Dastardly and Twisty were nominated as choir. They sang themselves a song and prepared for many more.

The down down’s went swimmingly, and it is likely that a down down was given to the RA for a job well done.

The pack was declared “on the piss”.

Trail Summary

I predict that the real trail was 7-8 km in length. Here it is courtesy of Daisy Duke.
