The Beginning

A fine day in April means that the weather can be anything. Hot Pants has been chomping on the bit to set his first trail for the Hash. Thankfully, a date near the end of January was available. Being a virgin hare, Hot Pants was supported by both Skewbic Hair and Dastardly to ensure he had the materials required for trail setting, plus the wisdom to set a great trail.

The trail was to be set in the Mountain Park SE neighbourhood, adjacent to the the Bow River. Lots or green belts and neighbourhood trails to explore. Starting point was selected to be Coasters Bar & Grill. A suitably questionable bar with cheep beer for the locals. Trail was planned from here, however, a change of plan ensued when it was discovered that they close early on Monday evenings!

The group assembled at Coasters in anticipation of the run.

A good turn out with no visible snow remaining from the weekend snow events.

Insane Bolt ran the circle and went through the announcements and introductions.

The hares were called into the circle to describe the marks they have made to describe the trail. Apparently, as one of the hares was the phot guy, no pictures were taken. I am sure you can visualize the H mark for on. the circle for a check, and the circle with an X for the check back. There was a promise of 5 playgrounds as well as a regroup. Pink flagging as well.

The Trail

Off from the parking lot heading South, marks were found . After a few false trails, the pack found the marks and headed out to discover the trail.

Finally, the regroup was found and refreshments were enjoyed in the last park.

The regroup continued until it was time to go back to the bar parking lot, and redeploy to an open pub in the neighbourhood, the Kilt & Caber Ale House in Makenzie Towne, a short distance away.

The Down Down’s

Stool Stuffer was the Religious Advisor for the evening. He volunteered the week previously, so he has had ample time to think of content. The section of the Kilt & Caber that we had our reservation was cozy. The club has been upgraded to Terriors from Harriers .

Stool Stuffer got his act together and suitable beverages were delivered.

Stoolie kicked off the ceremony by selecting a choir. As there were a faction of the group that chose not to go over the bridge to “the other side”, they were singled out for shortcutting en masse.

After the choir sang themselves a song, the hares were called up for a down down. With Hot Pants as the virgin hare, he was supported by Skewbic Hair and Dastardly.

A selection of other crimes and punishments were called out by the RA.

With the down down’s complete, the pack settled into a pattern of eating, drinking and chatting. A fine evening, in spite of the bar relocation problem.

Trail Summary

A fine trail in the range of 5 – 7 km, depending on whether you explored “the island” over the bridge. Not all chose this route, even the hare had thoughtfully laid trail and provided a delightful trail running experience.

Hash Extra

As the walkers were prolific with picture taking, it is only appropriate that they be included in the write up. Some addition random pictures as well?

Dastardly helped out with the haring as well…

December starts excessive lighting season!

The Beginning

With crappy weather and other distractions, we are always pleased when someone volunteers to hare a trail. We can not thank Slippy Thong enough for setting the first trail in December 2025. As Slippy is a southern dweller, the perfect location is a deep southern neighbourhood with extensive pathways and Christmas lights.

The Kilt and Caber Ale house is the place to set the trail from. Surprisingly busy in the evening, but Slippy had made reservations for the group.

The runners arrived, found parking, and proceeded to the pub to get organized for the run.

The Kilt and Caber – just through those doors

The group was called outside to circle up. We managed to create an obstruction in front of the pub, in the waft of the cigarette smoke provided by some of pub clientele.

Insane Bolt ran the circle and went through the announcements and introductions.

The Hare, Slippy Thong, was called into the circle to describe the marks she had made for this evenings trail.

Slippy let the pack loose to find the marks of the true trail.

The Trail

Slippy was quite pleased to see the difficulty of finding the true trail. Check backs and much searching eventually revealed the first real marks. A bit of help from the hare was appreciated.

Eventually, we stumbled upon the marks indicating Beer Near. Like a mirage in the desert, the regroup vehicle appeared. Specialty of the evening ….. beer slushy.

There was much rejoicing as beverages were enjoyed. then back to the pub for the closing ceremonies.

The group took over the assigned tables and got down the serious business of eating and drinking.

The Down Down’s

Tighty Whitey volunteered to be Religious Advisor (RA) for the evening. He prepared his material and patiently waited for the beverages to appear.

A choir was selected of the senior members of the group. Whale Wanker, On In and (mistakenly) Scoobie were nominated as choir.

Tighty Whitey called up the hare and went through a series of accusations and offences.
