How Much Fun Is This?

The Beginning

It is always an adventure when Liquor Lots and OPP volunteer to set trail. They chose Edworthy Park, south of the Bow River for the start point. This site provides access to much interesting terrain along the banks of the Bow River.

The Douglas Fir Trail is close by as well as the rugged slopes, train tracks, river, neighbourhoods and pathways nearby.

The steep access road was entertaining. Parking was at a premium at the bottom of the hill. Some hashers chose to cycle to the start. It was a busy place.

The pack arrived and congregated at a spot to enjoy yummy popsicles. It took some time for the group to show up on this hot day. We mingled around prior to be called over to where the circle would form.

Eventually, we were called to make a proper circle in a quiet location near be base of the beckoning trails. Liquor Lots got Insane Bolt to get things going.

Insane Bolt went through the announcements, visitors, and introductions. We had visitors for Toronto and Nigeria!

The hares were called into the circle to describe the marks they had used for the trail.

The pack was released and headed off in many directions to try and find the true trail.

The Trail

There were many false trail found in the early stages. The hares had set some cheeky check backs up the hills, to be found by our speedy and intrepid hashers.

You needed good vision to make out this check back buried in the dense brush, but it was significant.

Eventually, the pack landed on the trail that got them pointed in the right direction. The Douglas Fir trail was waiting!

A challenging route with significant climbing and an abundance of mud and obstacles.

Eventually, the path returned back to the parking lot. We selected a picnic spot to set up the circle for outdoor down down’s. A fine warm evening activity.

The Down Down’s

With a cooler of refreshments and a suitable picnic spot, the group settled down into a circle to enjoy their refreshments.

Insane Bolt assembled his material as Religious Advisor and picked a choir of Sticky Lips and Dastardly.

With all the down down’s completed, it was time to declare the group “on the piss”. The pack hung around in the nice weathers and continued to socialize until dark.
