Shoe Wash in Fish Creek

The Beginning

As we are now past labour day, who knows what the weather will be like. It could be summer or winter, sunny or raining, but the darkness is starting to appear near the end of the run.

Headlights start to become a thing at this time of year, so remember that. Hot Cheeks decided it time to introduce Swollen Member to the art of haring a run. These are skills that he can use in all aspects of his happy life.

After a bit of adjusting the start location, Local 403 Pub in Canyon Meadows SW was selected as the start location. Access to Fish Creek was important for the success of this run.

The group arrived at the pub and prepared for the fine trail that had been planned for them to follow.

It was time to head out to the parking lot circle up. A good turnout of over 20 hashers was encouraging to see.

The hares were called into the circle to describe the marks.

The pack was released to find the trail.

The Trail

Leaving the parking lot, the pack spread out to find the marks for true trail. A few false trails were explored prior to finding the good marks. Apparently, some of the marks were a little thin from the recent rain, making finding the trail a bit more challenging.

After enjoying the refreshments and the munchies, the pack headed into the pub to prepare for the down down’s, and some sort of spinning wheel distraction.

You could get sucked into this distraction

The group settled into the pub and figured out that they could get a fantastic deal on a hamburger, with a full pint beer, and the opportunity to spin the wheel, and delay the start of the down downs.

Down Down’s

Eventually, the thrill of the spinning wheel was over. The patient Religious Advisor, Skewbic Hair, now had the attention of the group.

A choir of Tighty Whitey and Scissor Sister was chosen and the program began.

Tighty Whitey had to excuse himself from choir duties and Hardly was pressed into emergency choir service.

Hardly saves the choir day!
No volunteer RA for next week, so let’s down the RA and declare “on the piss”

With the down downs complete, the group was declared to be “on the piss”.

Fish Creek Spring Wonderland

The Beginning

At a moment of weakness, Hot Cheeks and Slippy Thong were prepared to embrace the spring weather and set a run from the winds of Bebo Grove in Fish Creek Provincial Park. Sounded like a great plan as it has been sunny and mild for weeks. Park run with outdoor down down’s. A utopian vision.

As spring weather is also variable, a large dump of snow changed the plan. Plan B is the set trail from a warm pub in Woodbine SW, but include some of the Fish Creek trails which were now snow covered. Strapon ice cleats highly recommended.

The pack gathered in a non descript pub in the the SW, in the community of Woodbine (Woodlands). Suitably dodgy in appearance, it seemed well suited to host the hash.

All the entertainment goodies!

The pack gathered and found suitable seating while the big screen showed some kind of hockey match featuring the loosing local team.

Ready to run!

Insane Bolt declared that it was time to head outside in the daylight and circle up.

A reasonable turn out given the somewhat not so nice weather. If you were dressed for winter, the spring run would be “just fine”.

The hares were called into the circle and described the marks we were to follow on the trail.

Be very careful
This should do it, and there is some flagging

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

Out of the parking lot, the pack spread out to find the marks that the hares had prepared for us to find.

As we descend into Fish Creek Park, the trail becomes more winter like. Fortunately, the paved trails had seen a plow.

Regroup found!

Back to the pub to settle in and find some beverages and food in anticipation of the down down’s.

Good deals on the beer and food, so everyone was happy to this point!

The Down Down’s

The previous week, Insane Bolt volunteered to the the Religious Advisor (RA) for the down down ceremonies. As such, he has had a week to think about and prepare material.

Ready for this
I will get rid of this tonight
Beverages ready
Great pouring job!

Insane Bolt launched into action. He appointed a choir of Mr. PeeeeeNut and Shakesbeer, who sang themselves a song.

Why were we born?

First, the hares were brough up and thanked for an epic Slippy trail.

We are the best hares ever!

Trail Summary

Looks like 6 – 7 km of trail were enjoyed by some. Excellent effort setting trail in crappy weather for the group to enjoy. Our introduction to Fish Creek trail was a fun time.

Hash Extra

Because we can, we are seeing what AI can do for the trail. So far…. interesting.
