The Beginning

The high level of enthusiasm for the hash continues as the weather gets colder. However, having hares step forward to set trails has been challenging lately. We are very thankful that Lazy Cummer and OPP who magnanimously volunteered to set this trail. Starting from the Trop Bar and Grill in Marda Loop, the gateway to the challenges of nearby River Park and the toney neighbourhoods with hills and trees.

Traffic issues in Marda Loop have been somewhat resolved. The construction nightmare of the past years is substantially history. Good news is that 33 Ave SW is done. Bad news is that 34 Ave SW is now under construction. The Trop is on 34 Ave.

Once we sorted out the where to park, we came into the Trop to join the major crowd that was there to watch some sort of baseball game. Nevertheless, we packed into our reserved section and got ready to relocate outside to the cold and dark to start the run.

Once inside, we had a full house to content with. Appreciated that we had tables set aside for us.

Our hashmaster, Camshaft, informed the group that it was time to go “outside” and form a circle.

Lazy Cummer pointed to the “do not enter” sign in the alley, and the pack was released.

Regroup

With much milling about enjoying suitable beverages, it was decided to do “outside” down downs … at the regroup. This choice avoids problems with the baseball crowd at the pub.

The Down Down’s

Hump the Shark was the religious advisor (RA). He prepared his program on the spot. He called the group to order, selected a choir of Walk Wanker and Lying Sack of Shit, and began the ceremony.

The hares were called into the circle and rewarded for a fine trail.

With all the crimes dealt with, the group was declared on the piss by the RA.

Back to the bar for the continuance of the good times. Our arrival time corresponded with some event in the game where the home team went ahead! I trust our group was instrumental in the win.

How Much Fun Is This?

The Beginning

It is always an adventure when Liquor Lots and OPP volunteer to set trail. They chose Edworthy Park, south of the Bow River for the start point. This site provides access to much interesting terrain along the banks of the Bow River.

The Douglas Fir Trail is close by as well as the rugged slopes, train tracks, river, neighbourhoods and pathways nearby.

The steep access road was entertaining. Parking was at a premium at the bottom of the hill. Some hashers chose to cycle to the start. It was a busy place.

The pack arrived and congregated at a spot to enjoy yummy popsicles. It took some time for the group to show up on this hot day. We mingled around prior to be called over to where the circle would form.

The hares were called into the circle to describe the marks they had used for the trail.

The pack was released and headed off in many directions to try and find the true trail.

The Trail

There were many false trail found in the early stages. The hares had set some cheeky check backs up the hills, to be found by our speedy and intrepid hashers.

Off to find he uphill false trail!

You needed good vision to make out this check back buried in the dense brush, but it was significant.

Check back – three dots of flour

Eventually, the pack landed on the trail that got them pointed in the right direction. The Douglas Fir trail was waiting!

Eventually, the path returned back to the parking lot. We selected a picnic spot to set up the circle for outdoor down down’s. A fine warm evening activity.

With a cooler of refreshments and a suitable picnic spot, the group settled down into a circle to enjoy their refreshments.

Insane Bolt assembled his material as Religious Advisor and picked a choir of Sticky Lips and Dastardly.

Trail Summary

A fine trail of 6 km’s or so was enjoyed by the group. The Douglas Fir Trail did not disappoint. Great trail and a fun time!

Plenty of pictures taken. Here are a few more for your viewing pleasure.

Daylight Savings Time Ends Darkness!

The Beginning

The clocks have shifted and we now have more daylight in the evening. That hour of lost sleep is eventually forgotten and we bask in the glow of a starting circle in the light.

OPP and Lazy Cummer volunteered to set trail. A good turn out for a run in the Marda Loop neighbourhood was anticipating an interesting run.

The group assembled inside the Marda Loop Brewing Company, and were called out to form a circle in the back parking lot.

PMS lead the circle as the group got organized.

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

The Trail

A few false trails were discovered as the pack got their bearings and found the true trail marks. Through the neighbourhood of Marda Loop and the mud and moisture from the recent snow, the trail revealed itself.

The scribe was in the walkers group due to skiing over exertion. The walkers had a fine time exploring the development and construction occurring in the this part of town!

The walkers were able to find the regroup in the parking lot of the brewery. Apparently, the runners had a significant amount of trail to run, and were delayed in arriving for refreshments.

Regroup at dusk

Eventually, once darkness had fallen, the balance of the group appeared to regale us with their conquest of the epically long trail. This shot is indicative of the level of darkness when the balance of the pack arrived.

The dark side of the regroup

The group gathered on the patio of the Marda Loop Brewing Company to order beer and food prior to the down down’s.

Eventually, Booty Camp was ready for the down down ceremonies.

The Down Down’s

Religious Advisor Booty Camp took control of the down downs and appointed a choir of Roaring Nancy.

Booty Camp thanked the hares for setting trail and then proceeded to come forward with a series of lies, accusations and crimes committed during the run.

Trail Summary

Some say this trail was 9 km when all done. Not sure how the sidewalk marks made it through the surprise snowfall.

The walkers were more straightforward with a big loop of close to 4 km.

RA:  Hump the Shark

Attendance: 23

Regroup in Sight, Over there!

The Beginning

Liquor Lots and OPP volunteered to set the run for the week. They chose the Weaselhead Natural Area in the SW by the reservoir. An area notorious for critters, mud, water, dense forest, and steep trails. The perfect location for a hash run.

Both OPP and LL did their due diligence to ensure that the hash would be entertained by the trail they had chosen.

Steep terrain coupled with high water levels provided shiggy galore. We were warned to bring dry shoes and socks to change into after the run.

The other problem we had to deal with is the onset of darkness. This time of year sucks as each day is materially shorter than the day before. Blinding sun at the start of the run, and post sunset conditions at the end of the trail.

Hashers began to gather in the parking lot of North Glenmore Park Weaselhead access. A reasonable turn out of 23 intrepid souls ready to go hashing.

The hares in the circle explained the chalk marks and flour marks that marked the trail.

This marks should do it.
In addition there is some enormous poo dumps on trail. Something large is out there.

Liquor Lots raised her arm and pointed in some general direction and the pack was released.

The Trail

From the parking lot, some choices on which pathways to take. We have been sucked into the huge steep climb down to the water in the past. We needed to be sure. The sun was blinding.

Very sunny to start
Great views
Some say that this was steep
See that bridge down there? That is where you are headed.

Many natural sights were observed on trail. Here is a selection of some of the experience that was had by the group.

All good runs must come to and end. We set up the down down circle in the parking lot in anticipation of regroup and down down refreshments.

Regroup and Down Down’s

It was planned to be parking lot down down’s, so bring your own chair.

Getting ready for down downs

A bit of a delay before the keys for the regroup vehicle appeared. This was acknowledged with a down down later in the program.

Hump the Shark was the religious advisor, by unanimous consideration. He selected King Shit and Insane Bolt as choir. Photographic quality deteriorates as the sun goes down. People move way too quickly in the darkness.

Beverages ready

The program was delivered with humour, panache and pace. A quick succession of crimes and punishments were delivered to the offending hashers.

In the dark, Hump the Shark declared us “on the piss”. Limited interest in off to the bar for more celebration, so an abbreviated version was conducted in the parking lot in the dark.

Trail Summary

A fine trail of somewhere between 5 km and 6 km. Appreciate the effort to set the wilderness trails, which become more difficult as the dark season encroaches.
