A Bit of Neighbourhood History Spotted

The Beginning

Daisy Duke volunteered to set trail for a great run. His knowledge of the Haysboro/Southwood neighbourhoods would come in handy in devising a challenging yet entertaining trail. The weather was good in early April with snow and warm temperatures at the same time!

Daisy Duke has influence with the Stoneyslope Brewing Company. As such, he was able to get them to open up on a day that they are usually closed. A private venue for the group is a good thing!

Not quite patio weather

The group arrived and settled down prior to the run. Apparently, there was a power failure in this neighbourhood. The good news is that they could still sell us beer and take credit cards using a cell phone as a hot spot! Happy days for all!

People kept arriving and the small space continued to fill up with hashers.

Insane Bolt went through the announcements and introduction. We had a couple of returning archives joining us, Lying Sack of Shit and Krusty.

Finally, the hare was called into the circle to describe the marks he had set for the trail.

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

The Trail

From the parking lot, we found marks that sent us across Elbow Drive SW to the community of Haysboro. Along the streets and through the alleys enjoying the sloppy wet sunny conditions.

Some historic sights were park of the trail. An old ranch house and a very rare tree were included for our historical appreciation.

Some other features of the trail were the ski truck. Quite a find in this neighbourhood!

The long wet alley lead to the regroup vehicle. A sight to see and the source of great fulfilment.

Regroup found

From the regroup, the pack headed back to the pub to prepare for the down down’s.

Interesting beer and food choices were available. Patience with the single server was the way to go!

The Down Downs

Skewbic Hair was the Religious Advisor (RA) for the evening. He assembled his program and patiently waited for the beverages to appear.

Skewbic Hair selected a choir of Rashy Bush and Hump the Shark. They enjoyed a down down as they sang themselves a suitable song.

Trail Summary

This trail was in the 6 to 8 km range, depending on your level of embracement of the check backs and back checks. A great trail through interesting neighbourhoods.

Hash Extra

Many pictures were taken. Here are some that may be of interest to the group.

Trail Treasures in Haysboro SW

The Beginning

Summer is a great time to be outside in Calgary. Unfortunately, a lot of the group have travel plans so it is sometime difficult to attract both hares and runners. Daisy Duke apparently realized it was his turn to set trail, and was able to use his influence to get Stoneyslope Brewing Company to open on a Monday evening when they are usually closed.

The Monday before Canada Day is kind of weird. Seems like a lot of people take the day off to make an extra long weekend. Monday at 7:00 pm is Hash Time regardless, so the plan was to set and run the trail. A warm up to the Canada Day run that Pyro will set on the next day!

It appears that we still had our African visitors around for another hash with us. Thus, a reasonable turn out given the circumstances.

Your illustrious scribe, Skewbic Hair, was enjoying the beach life in Manitoba, thus made a plea to others to provide pictures and notes from the run. This is a remote reporting of the run I was not on.

Dastardly provided pre run Jello shots to put the group in the mood for the run.

Yummy Jello

It would appear that we had a circle in the parking lot of Stoneyslope Brewing with Insane Bolt running the circle.

With the announcements and introductions complete, it was time for Insane Bolt to introduce the hare to the circle.

Daisy appeared and used some props as marking posts to describe the marks for the evening. I am sure that you all remember the marks and the description of the trail provided.

I am sure you will take this seriously

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

The Trail

From Stoneyslope Brewing Company parking lot, the trail explored the reaches of Haysboro SW. A fine collection of roads, pathways and alley’s were navigated to create a joyful experience for the hash.

After an extreme effort in the summer heat, the regroup was located and the group went into drinking and socializing mode to try and forget the epic trail they had just completed.

Eventually, it was time to walk across the parking lot to Stoneyslope Brewing to prepare for the down down’s.

The Down Down’s

We set up on the picnic tables in the parking lot and got ready for the down down’s. Shakesbeer volunteered to be the Religious Advisor for the evening, so he got ready with the program.

I love being the RA!

In grand style, the down down’s started and there was much rejoicing. Many offences and crimes were committed on trail and all were duly celebrated.

I looks like Dastardly and Twisty were nominated as choir. They sang themselves a song and prepared for many more.

The down down’s went swimmingly, and it is likely that a down down was given to the RA for a job well done.

Trail Summary

I predict that the real trail was 7-8 km in length. Here it is courtesy of Daisy Duke.

Run 2340 – Tighty Whitey Birthday Run

Hares:  Tighty Whitey
Location:  Stonyslope Brewing Company

9620 Elbow Dr SW #20, Calgary, AB T2V 1M2

https://maps.app.goo.gl/ysiFsAPk28qSGQoy9

RA:  Hump the Shark
Attendance: 18

Let them eat cake!

The Beginning

Tightey Whitey shared his life changing experience of aging. Crossing the bridge from 59 to 60 is a traumatic experience for some. For others, it is just another number to remember. TW chose to allow us to participate in his week of birthdays by setting a run from the Stonyslope Brewing Company in Haysboro SW. A small craft brewery with an eclectic selection of interesting beers to sample, as well as food.

Normally closed on Monday, they opened up just for us. As such, we had the run of the place which made it easier to misbehave.

Not patio weather
Why are we waiting

The weather was crappy with rain and cold temperatures. As such, it was decided to hold the circle inside for the 18 intrepid hashers in attendance. As the place was all ours for the evening, seemed like a good idea. Our co Hash Master (Mattress) PMS modeled her new shirt prior to calling the circle to order.

How does this look?
You would want a shirt like this!

Working to get this shirt as a new addition to our Hash Haberdashery. Enough shameless promotion, time to get the circle started.

Inside Circle – What the heck?

Our hare, Tightey Whitey was called into the circle to explain the marks for the trail. In the absence of pavement, TW chose to deface a table with the chalk marks. As this was a birthday run, he had selected a unique set of marks to confuse the pack. A “6” was on, “O” was a check, and “5” was a check back.

TW tags a table
Marks including the insect

The insect looking mark was an attempt to explain that he had basically set a loop trail that would be difficult to find and follow. The legs of the insect were all the false trails that TW had set in his mind. The plan was to find the loop, and run as many laps as you pleased to get the distance you were happy with.

With those instructions, the pack was released to the outdoors to find what was left of the marks. Did I mention it had rained all afternoon?

The Trail

First mark was a check. The pack dispersed to find something that looked like true trail. The group fragmented looking for the elusive marks on rain soaked poles and other vertical surfaces.

Who knows where the true trail went, as the fragment I was running with chose to run a loop through Haysboro and eventually run into other fragments who had taken different routes.

First check
Might be this way…. or not

Eventually, those lappers did laps until they were satisfied. Others ran in circles until they were done running. With limited marks, it was difficult to solve the run as intended. Eventually, the regroup was located and all was well.

Regroup

Nothing like a cold beer on a cold night. Other beverage options were available for those that wanted something different.

A short walk from the parking lot to the taproom.

On-In

Stonyslope Brewing has an interesting selection of craft beers. Quite a spectrum of colour and taste. The group assembled inside and got sorted.

Quietly waiting
Beverage ready

Down Down’s

Hump the Shark self appointed the Religious Advisor for the evening. He selected a choir of Lying Sack of Shit and Slippy Thong to lead the song singing.

Hump the Shark had much material to work with. The antics of King Shit and PMS were worthy of multiple down-downs. Apparently, KS had the equipment and PMS had the need to get that rubber rat attached to the hash shit appropriately. Zip tie to the rescue.

A notable down-down went to Karate Klit for the El Camino sighting. Guess what song we sang and how many verses?

After enough nonsense, it was time to acknowledge the birthday boy and the hare. All were pleased that the run took place. Those that found the marks enjoyed it even more!

A bit unstable
Time to rest

Thinking that he was old, TW was reminded that his numbers are small compared to some of our veteran hashers. On In and Pyro were celebrated for their live experience and wisdom.

You want birthdays? You have a way to go…..

Celebration was in order. Can not say no to cake

But there is more! Gifts and goodies galore! Richard received a thoughtfully wrapped package , much to his delight.

Nice wrapping job. I believe we have KC to thank

TW ripped into things and took out the good stuff to model for the group.

Look at the size of this thing

Is that a stain on the cake?

Finally, the festivities came to and end and it was “on the piss”. TW needed to go for a nap as the evening celebrations were quite exhausting for an person of these years.
