A view of the city!

The Beginning

What a privilege it is to set the last trail of the year! What a great way to celebrate the opening of a new craft brewery! The Good Cheer Brewing enabled us to sample some new beer for the tail end of the old year!

The Good Cheer Brewing occupies the space formerly used by the Evil Corporation Brewing Company, which was known to the hashers. The new owners have reinvented the space with a 1600’s theme “order of good cheer” . Think Samuel de Champlain and his pals in Quebec and you are on the right track.

We look forward to their south facing patio as the weather gets warmer.

Inside, those that were there early were treated to a brewery tour by the owner Nathan. The balance of the pack wandered in an looked over the goodies they had on offer to be enjoyed after the run.

Camshaft called the group outside to form a circle. Bright parking lot lights created some photographic challenges.

The weather was good as a chinook had blow in. Above freezing temperatures made for slippy and sloppy underfoot.

Missing a couple of pictures, including Tighty Whitey and Mmmmm Lady Fingers and Slippy Thong.

Camshaft went through the announcements and introductions.

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

With the trail described, the park was released to find the true trail.

The Trail

Off out of the parking lot in all directions. False trails galore were discovered and eventually the true trail marks were found.

Through the alleys, streets and sidewalks we continued on trying to find the illusive marks. The hare was helpful in keeping us going in the right direction.

Those that chose the eagle trail were off to the cemetery and Reader Rock Garden to catch some city views.

Daisy shows the way. Yes, these are the steps you must climb

Back to the brewery to get set up for the down down’s

The Down Down’s

Mr. PeeeeNut volunteered to be the Religious Advisor (RA) for the evening. He diligently prepared his program and the beers were organized.

Mr. PeeeeeNut started off with the hares and proceeded to reword and punish those selected.

The down down’s now complete, the pack was declared “on the piss”. The group settled down to enjoy the balance of the evening.

Trail Summary

Given the excellent marks to be found, and the complication of an eagle/turkey split, the run distance was variable depending of your experience. Some say it was close to 7 km in distance, but your actual distance may vary. A fine trail through the wilds of Ramsay SE was enjoyed by the pack.

Others may have run different distances….

Run 2400 – A Milestone Delivered!

The Beginning

With 24 hours of hashing promoted to mark the 2400 run on May 24, 2024, this run had had a quite a build up.

This Saturday afternoon run was event 5 of the weekend program, preceded by:

TGIF (Thank Goodness It’s Friday)
Sitting Hash
Dark Side of the Moon Hash
Rocky Mountain Hash

For this run, the group has a Rocky Mountain Hash Run warm up in the morning to prepared for Run 2400

The group gathered at the Blue Heron picnic area at the North Glenmore Park, after enjoying a Subway Sandwich lunch post Rocky Mountain Run.

PMS summoned the group up the stairs to the parking lot to conduct the circle.

PMS went through the formalities of announcements, visitors, archives and introductions.

PMS called the hares into the circle to describe the marks we have for the trail.

The pack was released to find the marks showing true trail.

The Trail

Off we went to find trail. Some marks were found and we were off. Thankfully, we were spared the bushwhacking and climbing associated with the steep slopes around the reservoir.

Off through the wilds of Lakeview. We passed though parks and observed others having fun!

Finding the marks that lead us through the myriad of walkways before us.

The On In mark was found and we were directed back to the picnic site for the down down’s.

The Down Down’s

Back at the picnic site, we prepared for the down down ceremony. The Religious Advisor, Skewbic Hair, gathered the necessary material for the down downs. In the absence of facts, stories were made up to ensure that everyone was happy. A choir was assembled of Weenie Roast, Princess Monkey Spanker and Hardly.

Down down’s for the hares to start. Subsequent crimes and offences, and a special milestone. Many down downs related to the multiple hash shits.

The hash shit parade began. Those that carried the hash shit on trail were eligible to get rid of it. Sadly, Weenie Roast’s hat shit magically appeared “after” the run. In spite of his protests, he maintained custody. Spring Loaded performed some sort of ritual dance which was enlightening,

After enough shenanigans, the ceremony was declared done and “on the piss”. Drinking and chatting until the food truck arrived with a sumptuous dinner.

We tried to amuse ourselves prior to the arrival of the food truck. I not sure of the meaning or symbolism of some of these pictures, but you can judge for yourselves.

Trail Summary

The epic trail was somewhere between 5 and 6 km. Excellent celebration run!

Run 2396 – Cheeky and Evil: All in One Run!

Hares: Hot Cheeks and See No Evil

Location: The Dirty Duck Pub

Art or Streetlighting?

The Beginning

Hot Cheeks and Snevil volunteered to set trail for this fine April date. Now that we have daylight throughout the run, we can focus on making the trail longer and harder!

Apparently, the Dirty Duck Pub in Inglewood SE was the back up plan. Plan A was for a pub near Mount Royal, but declined to host a big group, so Dirty Duck it was!

The group arrived once they figured out where to park, and huddled in the confined spaces of the pub. A good turnout of intrepid hashers including archives and visitors!

The group was summoned “out the backdoor” to circle up in the rear parking lot.

Out the back door and into the rear parking lot

Insane Bolt was charged with running the circle as we got organized and prepared.

Insane Bolt called the visitors and archives into the circle and went through the introductions and announcements.

Now it was time for the hares to tell us what they had in store. Given the muddy condition of the parking lot, an available dumpster was called in to accept the markings.

With the trail described, the hares indicated a direction and the hash was released.

The Trail

From the back alley the pack dispersed to find the marks and the true trail.

Off to the East Village to check out the high density housing and see what other sights and sounds we could take in.

Now we near the construction site where the shrine to hockey is being constructed. The picture look impressive, but the hole needs more time before it is a thing.

The pack was distracted by a new park. Apparently, it seemed like a good idea to recreate the birthing of Bacchanal using the available playground equipment. It took many hands to recreate the event!

How much fun can we have with this shape?

With the birthing event completed, off to the eagle/turkey split in the trail. How long and hard would you like it this time?

The marks and the motivation to follow true trail started to dwindle. From the two layer park, the trail became a “dead reckoning” to where the regroup vehicle was spotted earlier in the run. With the tracks and other neighbourhood obstacles, both good and bad choices were made, but the regroup was eventually found.

Apparently, some of the hashers needed more distance to achieve their desired distance numbers. Others were pleased with the trail treasures that had been discovered and collected!

After suitable refreshments at the regroup, the pack reconvened back at the pub to prepare for the down down’s.

Hump the Shark prepared for the down down ceremonies.

Down Down’s

With no volunteers for Religious Advisor, Hump the Shark jumped in to organize and perform the down down’s. As Hump made notes and gathered his thoughts , it was now time to deliver the program.

Hump the Shark had a plan for the choir. He selected Beer in the Rear, Slow Clap and Skewbic Hair as choir. After the down down for the choir, he then designated Slow Clap as photographer so Skewbic Hair could focus on choir duties!
