Eve of Remembrance Day

The Beginning

We have been lucky with the weather to this point. Snow has happened in other places, including Toronto, but nothing for Calgary yet. Forecast temperature for our running day was 14 C. We all know what is coming, so be thankful for what we have today.

The run date was on the evening prior to Remembrance Day, so wearing a poppy was encouraged. We were pleased that Strap On Crampon and Hot Cheeks volunteered to set trail in the deep South East, precariously close to Fish Creek Park. Start and finish at the Light House Pub, which is Hash friendly.

The group arrived and waited inside for the signal to go outside to circle up. Insane Bolt made the call as the gathered in the outside parking lot that had a streetlight!

Insane Bolt ran the circle. We had a good turnout of 30 hashers set to enjoy the fine trail set by our hares. The hares were called into the circle to explain the marks for the trail.

The hash was released to find the true trail!

The Trail

Off from the parking lot, the pack spread out to find the marks. The starting point of the run has a significant staircase close by. Do you think we are supposed to climb all those stairs?

Off into the wilds of Parkland SE. Many streets, sidewalks, alleys and pathways to discover.

Thankfully there were playgrounds to play in. Some competitive sliding was observed.

Off to find more trail. The marks were found and the trail revealed itself.

There was a pig themed street that caught our attention. Who knew they had such a thing in this neighbourhood.

Not to be outdone, there was also large animal sculptures to observe!

We found some pathways through the forest down to Deer Run SE.

After much fun and frolic, the regroup vehicle was spotted. A great place to enjoy a refreshment and be thankful for the trail we have just enjoyed.

From the regroup, it was off to the pub to get set up for down down’s.

The Down Down’s

The pack settled into the pub and ordered food and refreshments. With limited staff, patience is in order. All things come to those who have patience.

With beer on the tables, it was time to start the down down’s

The Religious Advisor (RA) for the evening was Skewbic Hair. He diligently prepared his program and selected a choir of Mr. PeeeeNut, Hump the Shark, and an abbreviated appearance from Daisy Duke.

With the ceremony complete, it was time to canvas for next week’s RA and finish off the down down’s.

Next weeks RA and down down RA – On The Piss!

After much rejoicing, the evening program was complete.

Trail Summary

The trail was close to 6 km’s. Great weather and a fine trail were delivered by Strap On and Hot Cheeks! Thanks for making this happen!

The Beginning

Well, the teachers are on strike again. As we have teachers in our group, it was decided that they should host the run on the first day of their strike.

Abandoned Pussy, Princess Monkey Spanker and Hot Cheeks agreed to set trail from Bottlescrew Bill’s Pub on 10 Ave SW, just on the south side of the train tracks. They encouraged the group to wear something red to support their cause.

A good turn out of 24 hashers arrived for the trail. The weather was good and all were eager to run the trail the teachers had set through the beltline and downtown neighbourhoods!

The group assembled outside getting ready for the circle to begin.

Some demonstration from the teacher folks

Our freshly minted Hashmaster called the circle to order. We had visitors and archives plus announcements prior to the introductions.

Camshaft took control and successfully ran the circle, a success for the new Hashmaster.

The hares were called into the circle to explain the marks that had been set for the trail.

The pack was released to find the true trail.

The Trail

Off under the tracks toward downtown seemed like a good idea, until the false trail was found and the pack returned. Eventually true trail marks were found and the pack was On On!

With the true trail discovered, the pack followed the marks and explored the neighbourhood!

Apparently there were some art lovers on trail who took some interesting pictures!

Eventually, the art walk was over and the pack ending up doing outdoor down down’s at a parking lot close to Bottlescrew Bill’s. Abandoned Pussy was the Religious Advisor (RA).

With the down down’s complete, the pack was declared to be “on the piss”. Suspect some retired back to Bottlescrew Bill’s for a debrief.

Trail Summary

Looks like somewhere between 6 km and 8 km through the beltline neighbourhoods.

Hash Extra

Some of us had to endure a wine tour through the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia. Will not bore you with the details.

View Point of the City!

The Beginning

We have been having trouble finding people to set runs. We have openings in the future that need to be filled. As of last week, this run did not have a hare. Thankfully, Hot Cheeks succumbed to run setting frequency guilt and volunteered to set trail. She managed to conscript Menage-a-Trois to not only help, but to host the venue.

The pack arrived to Menage’s leafy neighbourhood and found a parking place. A good turnout of close to 30 hashers was a good sign. We had to follow the marks to the back yard which was our assembly point.

Still daylight at the beginning, we pack mingled in the back yard in anticipation of the run start.

PMS called to pack to circle up in the front yard. The pack complied and a circle formed on the front yard.

PMS ran the circle and went through the announcements and introductions.

The hares were called into the circle to describe the marks. With much enthusiasm, the hares described the trail they had planned for us!

With the instructions done, we were released to find the trail markings.

The Trail

The pack spread out to find the marks. After some well placed check backs, the true trail was revealed.

PMS returns from a false trail exploration

Following marks we made it back to the regroup, which happened to be at the same place we started. We set up chairs and enjoyed refreshment in the backyard.

As the beverages were prepared, the activities progressed to the down down’s.

Down Down’s

Hump the Shark performed the role of Religious Advisor. Dastardly did a fine job of organizing the refreshments.

Hump the Shark chose a choir. Lazy Cummer and Strap On Crampon were selected to deliver the songs to match the crimes.

Booty Camp, Tighty Whitey and Snow Blower

With the down down’s all done, we were declared “on the piss” after the RA received a down down.

Trail Summary

A fine trail through the neighbourhoods of Upper Mount Royal, Lower Mount Royal and Cliff Bungalow. Close to 5 km’s of trail were enjoyed.

The Beginning

The teachers in the group become very happy as the school year ends. The time spent with their pupils is over and they can plan their summer off. Thankfully, their enthusiasm included setting trail in Fish Creek Park from the Bebo Grove parking area.

Abandoned Pussy, Hot Cheeks and Princess Monkey Spanker were the hares. The abundance of trails in Fish Creek were beckoning. Recent rain and snow melt had transformed Fish Creek into a raging river. Should be a great time!

The group assembled the in the parking lot in anticipation of a great trail.

We had a good turn out with a number of visitors from Africa attending conventions in town.

The cunning plan that the hare’s had involved a “live hare” setting the trail on the fly. Here is a pre run picture of PMS, ready to inflict marks on the park trails.

You have no idea how much will like this trail!

PMS hit the trail to set the marks and we gave her a 15 minute or so head start going through the circle procession. The pack started to form something like a circle in anticipation of the Hashmaster running the circle. PMS setting trail and Insane Bolt missing in action. What to do?

Snevil stepped up as acting Hashmattress and ran the circle. Many announcements, introductions, milestones to work through and Snevil did an excellent job.

We had a number of visitors from Africa that brought an international feeling to our hash. They provided a great deal of entertainment to our relatively quiet group.

Snevil called the hares into the circle and they provided a version of what they thought the marks might look like. Perhaps there was a telepathic message from PMS who was currently on trail making the marks!

The pack was released and headed out in different directions trying to find the marks.

The Trail

Many possible trails to check. Eventually, the true trail was found and the pack burst into action following the trail.

Beer in the Rear leading here Italian barking dog

Eventually the marks lead us back to the parking lot where we found refreshments and set of a down down circle in the field nearby.

The group celebrated the run with chatter and socializing prior to the down down’s start.

The Down Down’s

Hump the Shark was the Religious Advisor for the evening. He diligently assembled his program and prepared to deliver the ceremony.

With milestones at play, there was a need to prepare and warm up the half yard.

Hump the Shark selected a choir of Slow Clap, Stool Stuffer and King Shit. They sang a song and enjoyed a down down.

The hares were acknowledged. PMS did an outstanding job of setting trail with moral support from her fellow teachers.

The pack was very engaged in the down down. In spite of continually checking their phones for updates.

Our visitors and new boots were called up and acknowledged.

A number of offences were called out as well as the passing along of the hash shit.

Hat Shit over to Daisy Duke. Multiple offences being rewarded with this special prize.

Various and sundry offences were called out. Too numerous to count.

The half yard was sufficiently warmed up for Tighty Whitey to enjoy.

For some reason, there was more to be enjoyed. It seemed like the program would never end.

With the prolonged down down’s complete, it was time to pack up and leave this place. A fine performance was delivered!

Run Summary

Fish Creek Park did not disappoint. There was much up and down with sufficient climbing, descending and viewpoints. Thankfully we were spared for the death water torrent flowing through the creek. Total run was 6 km’s or so.

Hash Extra

The Rotary convention was in town, so we found some trail markers to celebrate this.

Other wildlife sightings.

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!

With the scene set, it was now time to recognize and honour the events of the trail.

After all was complete, Hump the Shark declared us to be “on the piss”.

Trail Summary

The trail was between 7 and 9 km’s, depending on your Eagle vs Turkey leanings. A fine trail showcasing the views of Inglewood and the East Village.

CH3 MisManagement Revealed!

The Beginning

A lot to pack in to the last run in September. Not only was it orange shirt day everywhere, it was the annual Erections run where new MisManagement is announced.

The start location was the Marda Loop Brewing Company. As Marda Loop is in a perpetual state of reconstruction with associated detours and parking challenges. My GPS directed me on a road that was closed.

Thankfully, we new about the secret parking behind the pub, and all was made good again. People in orange gathered in the pub awaiting the start of the run.

On In and PMS declared that it was time to form a circle outside on the sidewalk. Another feature of the run was impending darkness. The shortness of daylight is becoming more a headlight required condition for enjoying the run.

Pyro with archives Mydol, No Hare, and Hooplala

On In went through the circle. Archives Mydol, No Hare and Hooplala. Snow Blower celebrating 250 runs. The hares were called into the circle to explain the marks for the trail.

Hot Cheeks pointed in a direction and the pack was released.

The Trail

The trail headed off into the streets and sidewalks of the Marda Loop neighbourhood. Many checks and false trail were included in the mix. Eventually, the trail was discovered and followed.

With the light fading, we eventually made our way to the regroup which was in a secret location.

A fine selection of refreshments were enjoyed prior to heading back to the pub for the down down’s and erections.

On In and Down Down’s

We had a section of the patio reserved for the group. As we got settled in, the fine Marda Loop Brewing products came out.

Hump the Shark was appointed as Religious Advisor and the refreshments were poured and made ready.

The choir was Skewbic Hair and Slow Clap. Between the two of them, they knew just about enough songs.

The celebration of the run started with acknowledging the hares. Then multiple offences and crimes before the big event….Erections!

And then, PMS took charge to announce the new mismanagement.

As mismanagement positions are highly desirable and sought after, the back room wheeling and dealing was complete and we had a team engaged to sustain the group for another year.

On In was thanked for his tenure as co Hashmaster, and Insane Bolt will fill his shoes. PMS was coerced in holding onto her Hashmatress role for “one more year”.
