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.
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!
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.
