Hard to Imagine!
The Beginning
With Halloween approaching, the group had to figure out what to do. Some years we have done a pub crawl with full costume, while other years we have been more restrained,
This year, it was a half way “wear a Halloween Hat” theme. Snow Blower set trail with the emotional assistance of Booty Camp from the ever popular Two House Brewing Taproom and Pizza. Close to the elevated C-Train track and the Sunalta neighbourhood, a great location for a run.
Some of us were a bit tardy to the run start, so we were a bit rushed trying to capture the “beginning”. It would appear that many hashers sporting hats were present. Some went “full costume” as that is what makes their world turn. A reasonable turn out of 26 or so hashers was achieved. Did I mention that it is now dark when we start the runs?
A few shots to capture the enthusiasm of the group!
PMS used her best bossy tone to get the group organized for the hares to tell us about the trail.
Snow Blow indicated that the first mark was the arrow head west into the urban darkness. The pack was released!
The Trail
Starting along 10 ave SW, in the shadow of the elevated C-Trail tracks, we headed west until we found the check at the C-Trail station. As expected, a massive check back was set up for the keen runners. A large group returned to the check after they realized they had been had.
Hot Cheeks was caught out on a raised access cover on the sidewalks. The went down on trail and was not pleased. I’m sure the city will drop by and fix the tripping hazard at their convenience. Hot Cheeks survived to finish the trail.
Off through the neighbourhoods, there was endless climbing up to near 17 Ave SW. We were driven by the fact that what goes up must come down. Parks and decoration were enjoyed on the trail.
A viewpoint was promised and delivered.
Off through the neighbourhoods to check out the decorations. The size of the skeletons attracted the interest of some of the Harrierettes.
On In and Down Down’s
After our regroup, we headed over to Two House Taproom and Pizza. Busy place with trivia going full bore. We had a reserved table, which was good. Food and refreshments were enjoyed, then we retired to the patio for the closing ceremonies.
As it appeared that trivia would never end, we headed out to the patio to conduct the down down’s. Hump the Shark was religious advisor. Tighty Whitey, caught bashing, was volunteered to be choir.
The hares were thanked, and many crimes and offences were dealt with.
There was much mirth and merriment focused on Booty Camp’s costume hat. An undue amount of attention to the dangling bits was quite a spectacle.
Eventually, the down down’s were done and we were on the piss.
