Hashers Spotted at Viewpoint

The Beginning

If it was not for the last minute, nothing would ever happen. Shakesbeer stepped forward to volunteer to set trail from James on Fourth Pub on 4 TH street SW. In the Mission. Cliff Bungalow neighbourhood, there is plenty of hills and parks to keep the Hash entertained.

Parking is not so easy at the Pub, so efforts were made to find a parking spot and head over to the Pub. A group of hashers assembled outside on the sidewalk, with some fancy hats present.

Gathering outside the pub

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

The hare was called into the circle to describe the marks.

With the marks described, the pack was released to find the true trail.

Following the direction indicated by the hare, the pack spread out to find the marks..

Eventually the trail ended at the regroup vehicle, where the walkers were able to enjoy a suitable refreshments while the runners made their way to this point.

After the regroup, the pack headed back to the pub to prepare for the down down’s.

The pub was ready for us with beer and food which were enjoyed prior to the down down’s were ready.

The Down Down’s

Our Religious Advisor (RA) for the evening was Hump the Shark. He diligently prepared his material and got the beverages ready.

With the music now turned down, Hump the Shark was ready to go. He selected a choir of Roaring Nancy and Hot Pants.

Starting with the Hare, the program was delivered with a series of stories a crimes.

A big award milestone for Booty Camp. She has achieved 400 runs and received the obligatory trophy.

All mine……

With the down down’s complete, we were declared to be “on the piss”.

The Beginning

Shakesbeer has been out of the loop for some time. We are pleased that he has the courage to volunteer to set the trail. The location was Joyce on Fourth, an Irish type pub in the beltline. They have a room in the basement suitable for hosting the group.

Apparently, hashers arrived and gathered at the pub. Some of us were late due to the Mission bridge construction and subsequent detour.

Not too much for pictures prior to the run, but here is a picture of the pub in warm weather and daylight.

A couple of photos of the walkers and the marks were provided as evidence that the circle took place.

The Trail

Being a bit behind the pack, some of us had to find the pack and join the run. Eventually, the headlights of the pack were sighted and the run was afoot.

With the melting conditions, the pathways were wet and icy. Challenging traction for those without spikes. Careful footing was the key.

Some parks were scattered along the way, and playing was encouraged!

Hump, Insane and Hot Quickie

More trail was discovered and we were treated to a viewpoint.

Some sort of group activity involving four people!

Thankfully, the regroup was near and we found the refreshments.

The regroup provided an opportunity to collect the group and score some pictures, missed from the circle.

With refreshments done, off to the pub for the Down Down’s

The Down Down’s

Off to the Joyce on Forth pub, to our room in the basement. Beer specials and food specials were available so…. a lot of eating and drinking.

Hump the Shark was religious advisor, the down down beer was procured and the ceremonies were ready to start.

Hump the Shark ready to go!

A choir was selected, Camshaft and Mmmmm Lady Fingers. As they have been vacationing in warmer countries, time for some choir action.

Down down’s for the choir and the hares. A procession of other crimes were tabled and down down’s were consumed.

With all done, we were declared “on the piss”.
