Fish Creek Park – Bankside

The Beginning

Full summer and Stampede Week! Tough to get hares out but we had Can Crusher set trail to celebrate her 9th birthday! She might have had a bit of help from her brother (Touche) and Abandoned Pussy.

An obscure location at the east end of Fish Creek Park, the Bankside parking lot, created some challenges for those that were not paying attention to the map link.

Upon arrival we were welcome to a nice parking lot with a shiny public washroom. The pack arrived and proceeded to get their bearings. Stampede costumes were present.

Hashers arrive to find the location to circle up

Princess Monkey Spanker enlightened the pack with where the run would start. The group stumbled over to a large picnic area to for the circle.

The pack circled up and prepared for what would be an epic trail set by a 9 year old, with some assistance.

PMS commanded the circle to order. She went through the announcements, introductions and other hash business. We had archives and visitors, including our African friends that were tardy to the circle.

The hares were called into the circle to explain the marks that were made with chalk, flour and flagging. Can Crusher was reluctant to take full credit for the trail as she had some support from her family.

There was some suggestion that shiggy may be present on trail. The high river was creating some quality wet shoe opportunities close to the bank.

The pack was released and the runners spread out to find the marks for the true trail.

The Trail

The paved pathway system was augmented with dirt trails with thick vegetation growth. It was challenging to find the marks but once we clued into the role that the flour had in marking, we figured it out.

As we emerged for the Deer Run neighbourhood, we could see the regroup and parking lot in the distance.

The pack collected their chairs and prepared for a session of outdoor down down’s

Down Down’s

The group assembled in the picnic area to enjoy refreshments and snacks as we prepared for the closing ceremonies. We found our late cummers as we filled out the down down circle.

Keep on Pumping, Star Lady and Just Basil

Tighty Whitey volunteered to be the Religious Advisor, and proceeded to make up a program based on myth and innuendo, with the occasional fact.

Dastardly prepared the beverages and the program was ready to go.

We held off until some of out missing hashers arrived. Apparently the free chair needed to be secured quickly as not to miss out. PMS and Strapon sheepishly return using the excuse they were getting their hash cash out of the car…..

PMS and Strap on finally making it to the circle

The program was started. Tighty Whitey immediately invited the hares into the circle to be acknowledged for fine trail.

After the hares were acknowledged, Tighty Whitey realized that a choir would be helpful. Strap on and PMS were chosen, as a reward for delaying the start of the down down’s.

Hot Cheeks and Frogadile Hunter – Bird watchers

Hump the Shark was called out for multiple offences. Apparently the dog dish rehydration on trail had to be recreated for the group.

Scoobie for taking pictures, and Tighty Whitey for RA duties. On the Piss

The circle wrapped up and there was much rejoicing.

Trail Summary

A fine trail of 6 km was delivered. The Bankside picnic area was a great starting point for a great run. Can Crusher has a great future in trail setting for the hash.

RA: Hardly

Attendance: 12

Pyro Saves the Day!

The Beginning

Canada Day is meant to be celebrated! We are pleased that Pyro stepped up to set trail on this day. With Canada Day falling on a Tuesday this year, that meant it was following the epic Monday night trail set by Daisy Duke.

The start location was set at in Tuscany NW at the Twelve Mile Coulee Natural Area parking lot, also known near a fancy condo complex known as Villa D’Este known by Google.

It was a hot day with an afternoon start. Being ready for the heat is a challenge for cold weather folks. The pack arrived and prepared for the the trail to begin.

Insane Bolt called the circle to order and went through the formalities for this small but enthusiastic group.

The marks were described by Pyro and the pack was released.

The Trail

The Tuscany area has spectacular views of Canada Olympic Park and the Rockies to the west. The ravine can be steep and deep in some places creating some adventure on the pathways.

Pyro surprised us with some urban exploring. Why not have the pack get lost in these twisty neighbourhoods! Please obey all traffic signals.

Eventually the pack made it safely back to the starting point. Cooling refreshments made the effort worthwhile.

Down Down’s

The chairs appeared and the pack prepared for outdoor down down’s delivered by Hardly, the Religious Advisor for the run. Sun protection was a good idea for those that did not want to be consumed by the solar radiation.

The down down’s went very well and met the needs of the smaller group. Hardly declared the group “on the piss” and it was time to relish in the Canada Day vibe,

Trail Summary

A fine trail in the 5 km range. Great terrain with sufficient up and down to make the beer at the end taste even better.

Trail Treasures in Haysboro SW

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.

Who needs a tarp when you have a flag this big

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.

https://maps.app.goo.gl/yLR3Q8yCui3KxHsp8

RA: Insane Bolt

Attendance: 28

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.

Trail Summary

A fine trail of 6 km’s or so was enjoyed by the group. The Douglas Fir Trail did not disappoint. Great trail and a fun time!

Looking for Beaver!

The Beginning

Slow Clap and Karate Klit stepped up to set trail out of Griffith Wood Park in the SW community of Discovery Ridge. With an extensive trail system and proximity to wilderness, chances of a critter sighting were good.

Beaver, Moose, Cougar all live nearby! We were forewarned that there may be some shiggy and dry shoes were recommended.

The pack assembled in the Eastern parking lot in the and prepared for an epic trail.

Insane Bolt ran the circle. The pack listened intently as Insane went through the announcements and introductions.

The hares were called into the circle to explain the marks for this evening’s trail.

The hares pointed the direction for the start of the run. The pack was released.

Eventually, the trail ended at the starting parking lot. A fine selection of suitable beverages was on offer.

The pack got their chairs and refreshments together and prepared for the outside down down’s.

The Down Down’s

Strap On Crampon volunteered to the the Religious Advisor. She assembled her material and conferred with others to come out with a program.

Insane Bolt and Dastardly prepared the refreshments as we got ready for the down down’s.

Tragedy stuck as a moment of inattention created a spilled beer. So sad to see this type of problem prior to the down down’s. OPP was sad but was able to find a suitable replacement. To add insult to injury, Scoobie managed to spill additional beer while getting a picture of the crime.

Enough distraction, the down down’s were called to order. A choir of Booty Camp and Skewbic Hair were selected. They sang themselves a song and handed off the photographer duties to Mucky Dip.

How would you like my finger in your beer?

The hares were called up and thanked for their outstanding trail.

Apparently, on trail, the walkers were being stalked by a large animal. No interest in the hashers by the moose. Mucky Dip took the picture!

Apparently, Skewbic Hair made the mistake of touching the Hat Shit. The group was aghast at this oversite, and Scoobie paid the price. He even chose to drink out of the hat…. Much cleaner now!

With all the material delivered, it was time to thank our RA for a fine job of conducting the down down ceremony. With a quick down down, we were declared “on the piss”.

A fine job of being Religious Advisor – Strap On Crampon

Will done in the parking lot, there was some discussion of a “follow on” at the Wild Rose Brewery! A fine evening was had by one and all.

Trail Summary

The trail was somewhere between 5 and 7 km’s depending on how much short cutting or false trails were enjoyed! Great trail!

Lots of pictures were taken on trail. Here are a few more that were shared by the keen photographers.

A shoe washing opportunity in Fish Creek!

The Beginning

With Mother’s Day celebrations in hand, who would be better to set trail than two enthusiastic harrierettes, who also are mothers. The plan was to set the mother of all trails. Not to be missed and not to be taken lightly.

Princess Monkey Spanker (PMS) and Strap On Crampon set the trail from Rip’s Pub & Eatery in Millrise SW. Close proximity of Fish Creek Provincial Park and all manners of elevation changes, mud, dirt ,trees animals an, of course, Fish Creek!

Rip’s Pub claim to be very supportive of the Saskatchewan Rough Riders football team. I hope they do not check for Saskatchewan credentials at the door. Cheap beer and food deals are why we run, and they had both!

The weather was threatening, with rain in the forecast. Nothing to scare away the 21 hashers that showed up for the trail.

The group assembled outside in the parking lot anticipating the “mother” of all runs. Insane Bolt ran the circle as the group prepared for the run.

Looks like we had a archive and offspring of Menage-a-Trois, Ginger Stripe, who travelled from Ireland to run the trail.

With the announcements and introductions complete, it was time to have the hares introduce the trail and the marks they have used to set the trail.

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

The Trail

The trail headed West toward Shawnee Slopes neighbourhood. Recollections of the people that bought houses here on the golf course, only to have the golf course redeveloped into more properties! Not all were happy with this.

More trail awaits for those that can find the marks. Eventually, the urban trail dropped into Fish Creek where fun was to be had by one and all.

The pathway lead to the C-Train bridge over Fish Creek. What a great spot for a creek crossing?

Of course, no good creek crossing goes unrewarded. Yes, you need to get back to the other side!

The trail lead toward St. Mary’s University which offered some uphill and viewpoints.

A view of the regroup gave the pack hope that his would all be over soon!

Finally, a sighting of the regroup location

The pack stumbled in to enjoy the beverages available at the regroup.

Eventually, all the hashers arrived and started complaining about being cold. Back to the bar to warm up and have the down down’s.

Suspect that are talking about something Irish

As the pack got settled in, food and drink was ordered at the group seemed happy!

Down Down’s

Hump the Shark was the Religious Advisor for the evening. He organized his program and prepared for the closing ceremonies.

Hump the Shark appointed Stoolie and Skewbic Hair as choir. They sang themselves a song, and handed off the photographer duties to Ginger Stripe.

Hump the Shark went through his list of down down’s. The hares, hash shit, various crimes and other made up actions.

Once we had run out of material, we were declared “on the piss” by Hump the Shark.

Trail Summary

A fine trail of 6 – 7 km’s. Fish Creek does not disappoint. Excellent work by PMS and Strap On crampon. One of the best trails I have never run.

Hash Extra

Unfortunately, your scribe was conflicted with a golfing appointment at the Lorrette course at Kananaskis. Even though the weather forecast called for snow, rain and cold, a fine round as the course was empty and there was no rain or snow. Something looking like sun appeared!

Spring is in the Air!

The Beginning

Pyro volunteered to set trail in Ranchlands NW. We have ran from the Stonewall Pub in the past, and have experienced the trails and forests of this neighbourhood. Pyro has lots of experience but admitted that he found new terrain in the scouting that he was pleased to include in the run.

The pack assembled in the pub until it was time to circle up outside.

There was a parking lot at the rear of the strip mall, well suited for a circle to form. Insane bolt ran the circle.

The formalities of announcements and introductions proceeded. No unusual business except for the announcement that our next Mismanagement meeting will happen on Tuesday at the Elephant and Castle Pub.

The group figured out how to make a circle and prepared for the adventure that would unfold courtesy of Pyro.

Insane Bolt summoned the hare into the centre of the circle who proceeded to describe the marks.

The pack was released and dispersed to find the trail.

The Trail

Out of the parking lot, marks were found and the pack was afoot. Large H’s on the sidewalk were found and followed. The sound of “On On” resonated through the neighbourhood.

Nature was present with spring flowers and other evidence of spring being present.

Eventually, we found the marks that led us to the regroup beer.

It was decided that the down down’s would be outside. Weather was good and we could splash out more down down beer.

The Down Down’s

Camshaft was the Religious Advisor for the evening. He scratched down some digital notes on his phone and collected stories from the group. Eventually, it was show time and the ceremonies started!

Show Blower, PMS, and Booty Camp – French Connection

There were some antics involving Skewbic Hair, for some crime of insignificant proportion.

Apparently, there was some evidence of photo’s of photo’s.

With all done, we honoured the RA with a down down and were declared “on the piss”.

The group retired to the pub for beer and food. Not a lot of pictures, just this evidence of yam fries.

A fine trail close to 5 km’s. Great views and lots of up and down made the run an enjoyable experience. Thanks to Pyro for a fine trail.

Burns Block in Inglewood – Where Beer and Pinball Live

The Beginning

Tighty Whitey volunteered to hare this run. With the longer daylight hours, we start in the light and end in the twilight. Burns Block Social Club in Inglewood SE was the start point for the run. The location is the legacy Revival Brewery and Arcade which features plenty of pinball games.

The hashers assembled inside only to be instructed to circle up in the rear parking lot. A rather hap hazard collection this week, struggled to get the circle shape right.

A good turn out for a warm day with daylight for the run!

PMS, returning from some exotic travel destination, was in charge of the circle. Announcements and introductions were conducted and the hare was called into the circle. Perhaps AP had some role in setting the trail as well…..

Follow these marks and all will be revealed.

After the marks were described, with an emphasis on the viewpoint, the pack was released into the setting sun.

The Trail

Off through the streets of Inglewood, along the Elbow River toward the Saddledome. Good views along the pathways were enjoyed until the stairs were discovered.

Apparently this signage is significant. Not sure if it is the family name recognition that Bacchanal identifies with, of the offer to stop for a 3 way….. Choices?

The sun set was observed and for those that found the stairs, a viewpoint was provided!

Some sunset shots were taken as proof that there was an actual viewpoint!

Down the stairs, back along the pathway to find more trail.

Apparently, there was some park action for the adventurous. Never let a play opportunity go by without taking time to play.

Hot Pants and Stool Stuffer sharing a moment

After many kilometers, the regroup was spotted and refreshments were enjoyed by all.

Eventually, it was time to get back to the pub to begin the down down’s

The Down Down’s

Back to the Burns Block Social Club to get organized for the down down’s. Tight quarters makes for a cozy situation. Beer and food order in preparation for the main event.

Hump the Shark was the Religious Advisor for the evening, and the choir was Dastardly and Roaring Nancy. The program started with an acknowledgement to the choir, the hare, and Shakesbeer.

A series of crimes and accusations were revealed, which included:

AP and Pyro for discussing politics on trail, LSOS for being an archive and arriving back to Canada injured, Karla, the new boot. Shortcutting, bike riding to the hash, and other serious events.

Eventually, the material was spent, the beer was consumed and all was good.

Hump the Shark declares the group “on the piss”.

Trail Summary

If you made no mistakes, the trail was 5 km. Not what most people observed as 6 + km was typical. Great trail!

Daylight Savings Time Ends Darkness!

The Beginning

The clocks have shifted and we now have more daylight in the evening. That hour of lost sleep is eventually forgotten and we bask in the glow of a starting circle in the light.

OPP and Lazy Cummer volunteered to set trail. A good turn out for a run in the Marda Loop neighbourhood was anticipating an interesting run.

The group assembled inside the Marda Loop Brewing Company, and were called out to form a circle in the back parking lot.

PMS lead the circle as the group got organized.

PMS went through the announcement and introductions, then called the hares to the circle to explain the marks for the trail.

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

The Trail

A few false trails were discovered as the pack got their bearings and found the true trail marks. Through the neighbourhood of Marda Loop and the mud and moisture from the recent snow, the trail revealed itself.

The scribe was in the walkers group due to skiing over exertion. The walkers had a fine time exploring the development and construction occurring in the this part of town!

My inside sources suggest that the runners had a fun time finding the trail, and playing in any parks they could find.

The walkers were able to find the regroup in the parking lot of the brewery. Apparently, the runners had a significant amount of trail to run, and were delayed in arriving for refreshments.

Eventually, once darkness had fallen, the balance of the group appeared to regale us with their conquest of the epically long trail. This shot is indicative of the level of darkness when the balance of the pack arrived.

The group gathered on the patio of the Marda Loop Brewing Company to order beer and food prior to the down down’s.

Eventually, Booty Camp was ready for the down down ceremonies.

The Down Down’s

Religious Advisor Booty Camp took control of the down downs and appointed a choir of Roaring Nancy.

Booty Camp thanked the hares for setting trail and then proceeded to come forward with a series of lies, accusations and crimes committed during the run.

With the down down’s done, the group engaged in the chatting and socializing until it was time to leave.

Some say this trail was 9 km when all done. Not sure how the sidewalk marks made it through the surprise snowfall.

Headlights on the Hill!

The Beginning

Thanks to Booty Camp and Snow Blower for stepping up to set the first trail in March 2025. Starting from Buffalo Bob’s Sports Bar in the SW, in the Glenbrook, Glendale neighbourhoods. The private room in the bar was reserved and we were set for the evening.

The weather shifted for the Monday run, where we had sustained above freezing temperatures, a dusting of snow and around freezing temperatures made the footing interesting.

The enthusiastic group turned out in good numbers as we prepared for the run at the bar.

We were called to the circle by Insane Bolt and headed outside to the cold and dark.

Insane Bolt called the group to order and went through an abbreviated version of the formalities.

The hares were called into the circle to describe the marks we had follow to enjoy the trail.

The pack was released and off we went to find the marks. Some confusion with running through the shopping area and industrial building before we ultimately found our way forward.

Through the streets, alleys and pathways the trail wound through the neighbourhoods.

Some gems were found on the pathways, with a snow person appearing, freshly made.

A bit icy and crunchy as the temperatures went down.

Slippy Thong tests out the spring loaded toys

More trail until the next playground. Careful with the footing!

Strap On and LC test out the teeter totter. Shakesbeer supervises

Eventually we made it to the regroup, with Booty Camp protecting the deep puddle from the oblivious hashers.

Off to the pub to get set up for down downs.

The Down Down’s

At Buffalo Bob’s, we had a private room at the back. Good set up for the group as we got settled and ordered beer and food.

The religious advisor for the evening was Skewbic Hair. Dispensing with photo duties to Liquor Lots, a choir was chosen and the ceremonies commenced.

The choir of Roaring Nancy and Karate Klit were rewarded with down down’s, sang themselves a song to begin the program.

Down down’s for the hares, leading into other crimes and offences being rewarded.

Hash shit was awarded to Insane Bolt for forgetting to do the introductions at the opening circle. He was able to hand it off to a hasher of his choice, and selected Camshaft.

A round of the camel song showed a good understanding of anatomy.

Mmmm Lady Fingers was rewarded with a down down for achieving 269 runs.

With all material exhausted, we were declared to be “on the piss”, with a down down to the RA!
