Remembering Whale Wanker!

The Beginning

With the recent passing of our veteran Calgary Hash House Harrier, Whale Wanker (Tom Wheeler), a tribute run was proposed to coincide with his birthday.

King Shit and On In volunteered to set trail starting from a known location on Kensington Road, Pizza Bob’s. The neighbourhood has hosted many hash runs in the past and was close to Whale Wanker’s was living.

A significant turn out of hashers arrived at Pizza Bob’s and the parking lot filled up with runners (and walkers).

Once parking was sorted out, the group got larger as more hashers arrived.

The group was invited to circle up by Camshaft, who went through the announcements and introductions.

The hares were called into the circle to described the marks.

With the description complete, the pack was released to find the trail.

The Trail

Out of the parking lot heading west. Need to find the narrow passageway to the back alley to be on trail. Marks were found that indicated the true trail.

Back to the pub, the pack settled in for the down down’s.

The Down Down’s

Camshaft was the Religious Advisor for the evening. The beverages were assembled and it was time to start the program.

The RA announced the choir will be PMS and Strap On Crampon. With great joy and glee, the came out to the front and sang themselves a suitable song.

With the program complete, it was time to find a volunteer for next week’s RA. Thankfully, Strap On said she was IN.

Any chance that is a false trail? Are those dark clouds?

The Beginning

August long weekend and the interest in trail setting was low. On In canvassed the group to no avail, and thus selected himself to set trail to ensure the survival of the hash. The burden of the hashmaster.

A suitable run start was selected at the old furniture store, with an available parking lot for outdoor down downs. The smaller group assembled and prepared for the run.

There was a weather situation developing. Something about huge rain and huge hail. Not to worry as we could see that the storm cells would start with the northern communities before we got our share. No reason to panic.

On in calls the circle to order and shows us the marks he has made to describe the trail. Mention of a VP (view point), suggested we would be doing some hill climbing to catch the view.

On In pointed in a direction and the pack was released.

The Trail

Off through the parking lots. False trails were set to provide extra running potential for some.

The false trail at the view point was a nice touch. Back down the stairs to find true trail and some playgrounds for our playing pleasure.

Not all fun and games, there was more trail to be discovered.

Regroup and Down Down’s

The pack made it back to the starting parking lot where refreshments and snacks were available.

An unfortunate incident occurred with a delicious expensive Alberta whiskey product, purchased by a hasher while on trail. So sad, but the smell was delicious.

Hump the Shark was Religious Advisor, self appointed. As the weather was deteriorating quickly, we performed an expedited version of the down downs so we could dispense to safety before the hail emergency.
