Burns Block in Inglewood – Where Beer and Pinball Live
The Beginning
Tighty Whitey volunteered to hare this run. With the longer daylight hours, we start in the light and end in the twilight. Burns Block Social Club in Inglewood SE was the start point for the run. The location is the legacy Revival Brewery and Arcade which features plenty of pinball games.
The hashers assembled inside only to be instructed to circle up in the rear parking lot. A rather hap hazard collection this week, struggled to get the circle shape right.
A good turn out for a warm day with daylight for the run!
PMS, returning from some exotic travel destination, was in charge of the circle. Announcements and introductions were conducted and the hare was called into the circle. Perhaps AP had some role in setting the trail as well…..
After the marks were described, with an emphasis on the viewpoint, the pack was released into the setting sun.
The Trail
Off through the streets of Inglewood, along the Elbow River toward the Saddledome. Good views along the pathways were enjoyed until the stairs were discovered.
Apparently this signage is significant. Not sure if it is the family name recognition that Bacchanal identifies with, of the offer to stop for a 3 way….. Choices?
The sun set was observed and for those that found the stairs, a viewpoint was provided!
Some sunset shots were taken as proof that there was an actual viewpoint!
Down the stairs, back along the pathway to find more trail.
Apparently, there was some park action for the adventurous. Never let a play opportunity go by without taking time to play.
After many kilometers, the regroup was spotted and refreshments were enjoyed by all.
Eventually, it was time to get back to the pub to begin the down down’s
The Down Down’s
Back to the Burns Block Social Club to get organized for the down down’s. Tight quarters makes for a cozy situation. Beer and food order in preparation for the main event.
Hump the Shark was the Religious Advisor for the evening, and the choir was Dastardly and Roaring Nancy. The program started with an acknowledgement to the choir, the hare, and Shakesbeer.
A series of crimes and accusations were revealed, which included:
AP and Pyro for discussing politics on trail, LSOS for being an archive and arriving back to Canada injured, Karla, the new boot. Shortcutting, bike riding to the hash, and other serious events.
Eventually, the material was spent, the beer was consumed and all was good.
Hump the Shark declares the group “on the piss”.

Trail Summary
If you made no mistakes, the trail was 5 km. Not what most people observed as 6 + km was typical. Great trail!
Hash Extra
The scribe was unfortunately unable to attend the run due to a skiing engagement in Jasper. I am sure I would have enjoyed the trail if I was there. My substitute fun was OK as well!
