So Many Playgrounds!

The Beginning

With all the planning and fanfare around the recent Run 2400 weekend, it was challenging to find a hare so set the regular Monday. Thankfully, Hot Quicky agreed to set trail in the SW community of Somerset. This community is rich with neighbourhood trails and parks! So many playgrounds to keep the pack entertained.

We began our run from a neighbourhood. With the modern neighbourhood design, this implies one sidewalk and limited street parking. Nevertheless, the group was able to find all the available parking they needed, and set themselves up in the back yard in preparation for the run.

PMS called the circle to order and we went through the formalities of announcements and introductions.

PMS called the hare into the circle to tell us about the trail.

With the marks described, Hot Quicky directed us out to the street and pointed the direction of the marks. The pack was released to find the trail.

The Trail

Off along the street until we found a neighbourhood pathway leading off into a lush green corridor. Marks were found and the pack called out.

More pathways, streets and sidewalks eventually lead to the end. Refreshments and down down’s in the back yard.

Down Down’s

The pack gathered and got settled in for the down down’s. Chairs appeared and a social circle formed.

Beverages were prepared and Hump the Shark assembled his material for the closing ceremony.

Hump the Shark delivered his list of crimes, accusations and rewards.

Seems like we had an milestone run. King Shit has achieved 1700 runs. He was rewarded with a special beverage once he had done justice to the half yard.

Eventually, Hump the Shark ran out of material and we were declared “on the piss”.

Trail Summary

The run of over 5 km was great! Lots of territory we had not been to. Great trail set by Hot Quicky.

Hash Extra

Some hashers found some unusual items on trail, including a wind up car and a glacier erratic.
