The Beginning

We were pleased that Pyro stepped up the hare another trail in August. Starting from the parking lot of the 12 Mile Coolee Natural Area, providing great access to the hills and pathways close by.

The evening of the run was cool and smokey. A group of intrepid hashers showed up for the entertainment that Pyro had prepared.

The pack found a place to park and mingled before the circle was called.

Looks like Hardly ran the circle and went through the announcements and introductions. Mr. PeeeeeNut tried to be in all the hasher photo’s, using his best photobombing tactics. AI fixed that problem…..

Hardly invited the hare into the circle to describe the marks for the trail.

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

The Trail

The trail started off to the east, across Stoney Trail in the the Scenic Acres neighbourhood. Following trail, sidewalks and streets the trail unfolded.

Pyro kept an eye on progress to ensure that no one got left behind,

Into the natural area, the trail headed off into the wilderness. Downhill to start then uphill to return.

Finishing off, I can hear the refreshments calling!

The regroup vehicle was found and there was much rejoicing.

The group got set up for outdoor down down’s. Settling in waiting for things to happen!

Eventually, things were organized enough to have the down down’s.

The Down Down’s

According to last weeks notes, Lazy Cummer was intended to be the Religious Advisor. However, it appears that Hump the Shark ran the program. I am sure that Lazy Cummer will have his chance in the future.

Hump the Shark imagined the crimes, stories and offences that deserved a down down. Starting with the hare, who , once again, set a fine trail for the hash to follow!

A series of infractions and observations were duly rewarded with down down’s.

With the down down’s completed, the pack continued to socialize and perhaps head to the Last Straw Ale House for a debrief.

Snow Melting in May – Canada Olympic Park

The Beginning

Pyro volunteered to set trail from the Crowchild Twin Area parking lot in the NW, in the community of Scenic Acres. This part of town has some epic view, pathways that run both downhill and uphill, and well as significant changes in elevation. The ravines are quite spectacular as we have explored them on previous occasions.

The group gathered in the parking lot, and secured appropriate parking spots for the outdoor down-downs that were to follow.

Eventually, something resembling a circle formed as we prepared for the start of the Pyro run.

PMS lead the circle and went through the formalities. Pyro described the run he had set for the group.

The Trail

Pyro pointed us in the direction that lead to the first marks. The pack scattered and started to call out the trail markings. Unfortunately, the trail was configured to start with a huge downhill which had to be repaid later in the trail after exhaustion set in.

Through the neighbourhoods we romped until we discovered more hidden pathways and wide open terrain, with views.

The downhill now changed to uphill and we ambitiously challenged the terrain to finish off the trail. Eventually, the regroup was found and there was much rejoicing.

Regroup

The support vehicle was full of delicious beverages. A fine finish for a great run.

Down Downs

Outdoor down downs were in order. Those that were prepared with chairs formed a circle. Hump the Shark nominated himself as the Religious Advisor. A choir was selected and the ceremonies were performed.

Hump the Shark called out a number for hashers for various offences and charges. The choir did a fine job of knowing just enough songs to keep it rolling, All was good!
