Stool Stuffer volunteered to set trail. Weather was in transition from way to hot to summer is over. Apparently, the run was cool and windy, and the days are getting shorter.
The run start was Valleyview Park SE, in the community of Dover. Some might say it is on the wrong side of the Deerfoot Trail, but, as such, offers some great views. If you can look past the big highway, you can see downtown and the Bow River.
With school now in, our wandering teachers are now back in town, for the most part. An enthusiastic group gather in the parking lot and the circle formed.
Stool Stuffer and Rashy Bush explained the marks and what to look for on the trail. Be careful of the shiggy and prickly things.

The pack dispersed to find the marks along the trails and in the neighbourhoods nearby.
The Trail
From the parking lot, the trail lead into the neighbourhoods. A combination of streets and pathways as well as some of the finer amenities that the Dover neighbourhood has to offer.

Eventually the trail ran out of marks and the trail was over.
The Down Down’s
Back at he parking lot, the chairs came out and the down down circle formed.
Religious Advisor for the week was Roaring Nancy. He was supported by a choir of Lazy Cummer, Snow Blower and Hardly.
Roaring Nancy – RA
Choir: Hardly, Lazy Cummer and Snow Blower
Numerous crimes were committed. Some of which included:
Hares – Rash and Stoolie, Racists – Slippy Thong and PMS, Triple X-Ray had no chair, so borrowed one. Daisy Duke and his horn, Hump the Shark – 300 runs, but forgot the 1/2 yard vessel. Hash Shit material.
As your hash scribe was absent for the run, the crimes and the pictures are not necessarily all there. Just goes to show you have to be there to take it all in.

Trail Summary
Trail distance was close to 6 km. A scenic run through the neighbourhoods of Dover and Southview.
Camshaft and Mmmmm Lady Fingers took a break from their hectic vacation and travel schedule to set a hash run for the group. The actual location was worth waiting for, as it was in a neighbourhood that we have not been to much. The community of Wentworth, in the SW is really far west. Think Canada Olympic Park and south. Thankfully, Google knew where to go, and access off the new ring road made this location very accessible!
A park in a new neighbourhood, with a basketball court, was the starting point. Parking was limited but available, once the fire hydrants were figured out. All was well and we attracted a crowd of 25 hashers.
The hashers arrived and a circle began to form.

With the marks described, the pack was released. Playgrounds were promised.
The Trail
The pack found the marks and followed the trail. A combination of paved and wilderness trail was revealed to the runners.

And so it begins. Crimes and punishments galore. LSOS had the liability of a hash shit that he wanted to move along. Multiple “big group” down downs ensured all the drinks were dispensed with.

Moving the hash shit along did not go as planned. LSOS had to make up a story the ultimately gifted the spanking monkey to the originator PMS.
PMS can not believe she got the hash shit back…
On the Piss declared and we are done.
The police dropped by to see if there was anyone disturbing us, as they had some calls. Our response is that we were not being disturbed and if we were, we would call them back! They liked are set up and told us to have a nice evening. Could have ended differently!

Trail Summary
The trail was around 6 kms. Great trail in new territory.
We have to be grateful to the Pyro clan for stepping up to run setting in the peak vacation period. Pyro saved the Hash last week, and Insane Bolt stepped up to set trail. We have seen more of the NW in the last month than we have in the last year!
Insane is noted for setting challenging trails.
Hashers arrived at the Silver Point Pub parking lot in anticipation of a great trail. It would appear that there was an archive hasher that showed up, Veggie Wanker. Has not been out for some time. Sloppy seconds returned. He is becoming a regular hasher!
Insane Bolt explained the marks. There was an Eagle /Turkey split for those so inclined.

As your scribe is on vacation at the cottage in Manitoba, the write up was done remotely with material supplied by others.
More importantly, the front steps and entranceway of the cottage are now painted!

We thank Pyro for setting trail in August. Pyro saves the hash once again and we appreciate the effort. Close to home in the NW, Pyro chose the West End of Baker Park for the run start. Not to be confused with the “other” start point in Baker Park that Hump the Shark chose last month. A clarification e-mail confirmed the start point location and a group of 22 intrepid hashers showed up for the run!
Apparently, Lumberjack made an appearance. As he is now a Vernon BC resident, it was a while since he has enlightened the Calgary group with his presence. Lumberjack attracted another archive, Party Pumper, who came out to play. Perhaps a reunion of the Lumby dancers is in the works for a future hash?
The dusty parking lot was the start venue.
Imagine this as the start of the run (vs the end)
As the usual hash photographer and scribe was elsewhere, the notes and pictures were supplied by others. As such, not much from the start of the run.
I am sure that On In got the circle together. Announcements were conducted. Welcome if the archives, Lumber Jack and Party Pumper. Dastardly had a milestone run. The group went through the names.
Pyro was called into the circle to describe the marks he had selected for the trail.
Let the adventure begin and the pack was off!

The Beginning
August long weekend and the interest in trail setting was low. On In canvassed the group to no avail, and thus selected himself to set trail to ensure the survival of the hash. The burden of the hashmaster.
A suitable run start was selected at the old furniture store, with an available parking lot for outdoor down downs. The smaller group assembled and prepared for the run.
There was a weather situation developing. Something about huge rain and huge hail. Not to worry as we could see that the storm cells would start with the northern communities before we got our share. No reason to panic.

An unfortunate incident occurred with a delicious expensive Alberta whiskey product, purchased by a hasher while on trail. So sad, but the smell was delicious.

Trail Summary
Looks like about 6 km of great trail. No hail or rain was encountered on trail. The drive home was a different story….
Blue Balls volunteered to set trail for the pack. As the weather has been hot, hot, hot for the last week or two, this trail would be a test of your survival instincts. Starting from the Reagle Beagle SW, we knew that we would likely be off to the hills and ravines to the west.
Imagine a patio in front in the Summer!
The hashers congregated in the heat and got ready for the run. Blue Balls described the marks and the pack was released.
The Trail
Heading to the west, the trail took in the hills, ravines, roads, sidewalks and trails. Neighbourhoods of Christie Park, Strathcona Park, Aspen Woods and the Westside Recreation Centre.
Insane Bolt acting childish again….
The Down Downs
Back to the patio of the Regal Beagle, Roaring Nancy had accepted the position of RA. Choir was Pyro, Hardly and Hot Cheeks.
We can do this!
The various crimes and offences were rewarded with down down’s. The hare set an epic trail of close to 8 km and was thanked profusely.

Apparently, there was a down down tragedy. Something was spilled by Insane Bolt. He will have to learn to be more careful.

The crowd seemed please with the ceremony, then the group was declared to be “on the piss” by Roaring Nancy.

Trail Summary
A fine trail of 8 km was set by Blue Balls. Pleased to run in these neighbourhoods with the variety or terrain. Note that 69th street was crossed!
The format for the annual Stampede Run was changed. We planned for a Saturday run with a food and beer fest to finish. Hardly and Twisty arranged for the venue, a picnic, aptly named Sparrow Song picnic site located in North Glenmore Park SW.
It was a hot day with lots of sunshine. Great weather for hashing.
Busy place and parking was a bit of a problem. The directions on the website directed us to a parking lot. From there, you were on your own to hear the Sparrow Song and find out where we needed to be.
We gathered for the circle and eventually got ready for the trail.
Prior to the runThe crowd arrives
We new we were in for some excitement as we were forbidden to bring any phones of car keys. A harbinger for what was to come.
Hardly described the marks made in flour, toilet paper, and chalk. As there were four hares, and our proximity to the steep embankments and the Elbow river, we suspected that this would be an epic adventure.
Hardly marks the grass
With phones put away, not a lot of pictures for the circle and the trail. As such, you need to imaging On In getting the circle together. Introduction of the archives, announcements, and introductions. Now we were ready to run.
The Trail
We started the trail toward the Weaselhead wilderness area. However, a check at the top of the cliff meant that some had to go down the steep trails for be rewarded with check backs.
The forest was very dense and making progress to find marks was challenging. Fortunately, some of us know that there was only one bridge over the Elbow river.
Reacquainted with the group, we followed the pathways through the Weaselhead flats for a long time. Eventually, we were introduced to the river swim portion of the trail. As the snow melt has replenished the reservoir via the Elbow river, the river was deep. To deep to walk so swimming and floating was the only option.
Even Lofty Prancer was insufficiently tall to avoid floating.
After a very long time in the water, and realizing that swimming was not your olympic sport, we arrived at the regroup back the the Elbow river bridge. The refreshments were very tasty, and on ice from a cooler that was transported a long way from the cars for the regroup.
The Down Downs
Skewbic Hair was the religious advisor. A round of down down’s were delivered to the enthusiastic group. Lofty and Roaring Nancy were the choir. Not a lot of evidence of the closing ceremony, but those that were there enjoyed themselves.

Trail Summary
It appears that we covered close to 8 km, of which 1 km was the raging Elbow river. No one drowned, which a fortunate outcome.
The summer is sometimes a difficult time to get volunteers to set trail. On In had reached out to the group for a hare in the previous week and though he had it sorted. Things changed, and we needed a hare on short notice. Thankfully, Daisy Duke offered to set trail from Richmond Green. Dastardly agreed to help, and we were sorted.
Have not run from Richmond Green SW in the past. Parking lot was busy as it hosts multiple sports from this location. Thankfully, we were able to get parked and work the circle to get this run started.
Sort of looks like a circle could happen here.

As the pack wandered around aimlessly, a wave of confusion arose. Part of the pack became renegades and broke off to make their own trail. Eventually, they realized that no marks have been found and rejoined the main pack.
Playgrounds were in abundance. Various playing techniques were employed to make the most of the equipment.

The Trail Summary
The trail ended up to be close to 7 km’s. Good neighbourhoods for hashing and a fine trail was set by Daisy Duke and Dastardly.
The Canada Day Run is a Calgary hash tradition. Coincidentally, Canada Day falls on a Monday, a hashing day! Hardly and Twisty volunteered to look after the run and wind up with yummy food back at their place after the run. This was an afternoon run. In Calgary, that means that you can see the thunder storms closing in on you from a great distance. With a significant hail event the day before, we were paying attention to the colour of the sky.
The run start was at the Berkshire Gate parking lot for Nose Hill Park in the North West. This was an afternoon run, so we gathered together for a 2:00 pm start. The weather was great at the start of the run. The rain clouds were off in the distance, so not a problem yet!
On In got the circle together and we prepared for the Nose Hill run.

With instructions complete, the hash was off.

Nose Hill Park, to no one’s surprise, has hills. It also has wilderness areas. There was an abundance of grass, flowers, trails and views to be enjoyed.

Trail Summary
A challenging trail run with sensational views and the bonus “beer hunter” experience. Something in the 4+ ish range, with the elevation changes to keep it real.
This run has been in the planning stages for years. The important consideration was a birthday marking the beginning of a new decade of an important hasher. Mmmm Lady Fingers has crossed of the chasm of aging, leaving the serenity of the 50’s for the turbulence of the 60’s. She has embraced this challenge with multiple birthday celebration events, culminating with Run 2343, the birthday run.
The run was set from their Varsity mansion, enabling the hash to check our the various pathways and parks in the neighbourhood. An epic trail was planned and executed, drawing a large crowd of 34 hashers, including archives and new boots! Word was out that this was an event not to be missed.
The group circled up in the laneway to receive the instructions to follow to complete the trail.
Introductions, announcements, run marks description now done, the pack was released.
The Trail
The pack was released to find the marks. The trail took them through the pathways and alleys within earshot of Crowchild Trail. A clever false trail using the pedestrian bridges by the light rail transit station created confusion for most of the pack. Parks and frolic galore. Eventually, the trail was solved the the smarter hashers and all was good.
On on!
Playtime was appropriately observed in all parks that were on trail. Scaring some small children in the process!

The crimeThe recreation!
A naming happened. Just Amy finally did something that warrants a name. The story goes that Just Amy was wearing an “M” word shirt, celebrating the Bacchus Marathon. Bacchus is a wine company.
Who me?Yes that is the “M” wordSomething back here too!
The literati in the hash came up the “Bacchanal”, a follower of Bacchus. The dictionary supports this with the definition: “an occasion of wild and drunkenrevelry“.
And there is more….
The nocturnal version of the Bacchanalia involved wine-drinking to excess, drunkenness and the free mingling of the sexes and classes; the rites also involved loud music.
Bacchanal will carry this name forward in the hash universe with pride.
There were other offences too numerous to catalogue. Here is a collage of some of the outcomes.
LSOS doesn’t let lack of keys get in the way of beer accessHash Shit from Fish FaceDoes this suit me?Apparently Insane Bolt accepted a Hash Shit from Strap OnSexual offence – Matching shirts“M” word volunteersRashy did something to StoolieInsane likes this hash shit soo much!
Eventually, the formal closing ceremonies were done and it was “on the piss”. Let the after party begin….
Apparently the birthday buzz was still strong and the monumental naming kept an amount of momentum for the group. Not sure of the details, but ask those involved if the party ever really ended….
