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”.
