Ice Receding on the Bow River

The Beginning

Tighty Whitey volunteered to set trail from the Burn Block Social Club in Inglewood. Known for being an interesting space with pinball as a feature, seems like a great place to set the hash run from. Tighty Withey has some some convoluted references linking the run number (2455) with his beer number (whatever that is) of 5555. Something about $5 pints and a run that would be 5 km’s. Sounds like witchcraft to me.

The Burns Block Social Club is housed in an ancient building in Inglewood. A character space with beer and pinball. The group found parking and converged on the space.

Inside, the group spread out enjoying happy hour pre run pricing as they prepared for the trail.

Camshaft and Insane Bolt called on the group to head out the back door and form a circle in the parking lot.

Camshaft went through the introductions and announcements.

The hare was called into the circle to describe the marks that he had set for the trail.

I think the chalk marks on the dirt are very readible!

Tighty Whitey indicated a direction and the pack was released to find the marks.

The Trail

Out of the parking lot, marks were found as the pack headed toward the Bow River.

Apparently, the walkers also had fun. Here are some pictures as evidence.

At the viewpoint overlooking the city, the regroup was near by.

After refreshments and chatting, the group headed back to the pub to prepare for the down down’s.

The Down Down’s

As the pack assembled in the pub, it was time to prepare for the down down’s. Lying Sack of Shit was the volunteer Religious Advisor (RA). He prepared his program in anticipation of delivering the rewards and punishments to the group.

The RA called upon Pull My Woody and Insane Bolt as the choir. They chose to sing the Canadian song, written on the back of Hardly’ s shirt.

The program began with a down down for the hare. A fine trail, in spite of all the number 5 items that had to be appreciated.

A series of crimes and punishments were handed out by the RA. Some truth, some fantasy, and some accusations that were unfounded.

Down the RA and volunteer RA for next week!

We were declared “on the piss” as the RA volunteer for next week was determined!

The Trail

The trail was somewhere between 5 and 7 km ‘s with great views and challenging terrain. A fine trail by Tighty Whitey.

So many pictures were taken. Here are some random shots that you can mentally insert into the story.

A view of the city!

The Beginning

What a privilege it is to set the last trail of the year! What a great way to celebrate the opening of a new craft brewery! The Good Cheer Brewing enabled us to sample some new beer for the tail end of the old year!

The Good Cheer Brewing occupies the space formerly used by the Evil Corporation Brewing Company, which was known to the hashers. The new owners have reinvented the space with a 1600’s theme “order of good cheer” . Think Samuel de Champlain and his pals in Quebec and you are on the right track.

We look forward to their south facing patio as the weather gets warmer.

Inside, those that were there early were treated to a brewery tour by the owner Nathan. The balance of the pack wandered in an looked over the goodies they had on offer to be enjoyed after the run.

Camshaft called the group outside to form a circle. Bright parking lot lights created some photographic challenges.

The weather was good as a chinook had blow in. Above freezing temperatures made for slippy and sloppy underfoot.

Missing a couple of pictures, including Tighty Whitey and Mmmmm Lady Fingers and Slippy Thong.

Camshaft went through the announcements and introductions.

Camshaft is the centre of attention as he runs the circle

The hares were called into the circle to describe the marks for the run.

With the trail described, the park was released to find the true trail.

The Trail

Off out of the parking lot in all directions. False trails galore were discovered and eventually the true trail marks were found.

Through the alleys, streets and sidewalks we continued on trying to find the illusive marks. The hare was helpful in keeping us going in the right direction.

Those that chose the eagle trail were off to the cemetery and Reader Rock Garden to catch some city views.

Daisy shows the way. Yes, these are the steps you must climb

Back to the brewery to get set up for the down down’s

The Down Down’s

Mr. PeeeeNut volunteered to be the Religious Advisor (RA) for the evening. He diligently prepared his program and the beers were organized.

Mr. PeeeeeNut started off with the hares and proceeded to reword and punish those selected.

The down down’s now complete, the pack was declared “on the piss”. The group settled down to enjoy the balance of the evening.

Trail Summary

Given the excellent marks to be found, and the complication of an eagle/turkey split, the run distance was variable depending of your experience. Some say it was close to 7 km in distance, but your actual distance may vary. A fine trail through the wilds of Ramsay SE was enjoyed by the pack.

Others may have run different distances….

Running from Born Brewing

The Beginning

Apparently there is a new Bruce Springsteen movie out that has received some attention. As one of Mr. Springsteen’s signature songs is “Born to Run”, Tighty Whitey was inspired to step forward to set a Springsteen themed run from Born Brewing Company. As such, we were inspired to run from Born under a Born to Run theme.

The group arrived in the dark to the run start. Born Brewing is a modest taproom with great beers. Apparently, there was some sort of police commotion in front of the brewery to entertain us.

The group arrived after finding suitable parking. Some socializing prior to the run start.

Eventually, it was time to head outside to an adjacent parking lot to form a circle.

Insane Bolt ran the circle and went through the announcements and introductions.

The hare was called into the circle to explain the marks for tonight’s trail.

The pack was released and the group spread out to find the marks for true trail.

The Trail

Off we went in all directions until the marks were found. Mostly industrial backwater.

Up the hill, following flagging then through the cemetery. This is where we cue the Born to Run music amongst the dead to rest folks.

After suitable refreshment, we headed back to Born Brewing Company to settle in for the down down’s

After selecting suitable beers, we waited for the down down’s to start.

The Down Down’s

Camshaft has volunteered to be Religious Advisor for the evening. He prepared his program as we got ready for the performance.

Camshaft went through his material, honouring the hare for setting a fine trail. There were many offences and infractions to be dealt with.

Through a diplomatic progress of threats and intimidation, we were able to identify an RA for next week. Snevil succumbed to the pressure and was rewarded with a down down. Down Down for Camshaft as well.

Camshaft and Snevil – On the Piss and next weeks RA

With the down down’s complete, we pack relaxed and continued to enjoy the fine refreshments that Born Brewing Co. had to offer.

Trail Summary

A fine trail of between 6 km and 9 km depending on your Eagle vs Turkey persuasion. Fine terrain with some great view points. Level C-Train crossings are always a fun time!

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…..

Follow these marks and all will be revealed.

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.

Hot Pants and Stool Stuffer sharing a moment

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!

A run with a Pinball theme

The Beginning

Tighty Whitey succumbed to the guilt of not having set a run in the recent weeks. He cratered and volunteered to take the date of December 9, 2024. His plan was to set the run from Inglewood from a taproom/pub formerly known as the Revival Brewing and Arcade (Revival Brewcade), now know as Burn Block Social Club. A key feature of this establishment is the pinball arcade games.

What kind of hasher does not enjoy ancient pinball games, especially if it is free on Monday night? As such, a run was set to introduce the hash to this new establishment and enjoy the sights and sounds on the Inglewood neighbourhood.

A good turn out with 27 hashers, including archives, new boots and the balance of the group.

The group converged on the taproom/arcade and got ready for the run.

Looks like PMS ran the circle, and introduced the pack to archives (Mermaid, Maple, Cocktail and Not Too Deep), as well as new boots, Just Lena and Just Natalie.

Tighty Whitey was called into the circle to describe the cunning trail he had concocted. Featuring and Eagle and Turkey split (of was that Easy and Tough). Marks were displayed on a wall for all to enjoy.

The hash was released to find the marks to follow through Inglewood and beyond.

The Trail

Down 9th ave SW over the river to what used to be know as Fort Calgary. Great views of the city, zoo lights and other features.

Closer to the zoo, there were plenty of lights to enjoy.

Apparently, some playground action was involved with headlight equipped hashers enjoying themselves immensely.

More pathways leading to the illusive regroup, hidden in plain site near Cold Garden.

After the regroup was completed to everyone’s satisfaction, back to the Burn Block Social Club for the down downs.

The Down Downs

Back to the pub, the group got themselves sorted and prepared for the down downs.

Not Too Deep and Cocktail make an appearance! Long lost hasher!

Settling in for some beer and entertainment

Hump the Shark eventually got his act together to perform the closing ceremonies. A choir of Hot Cheeks and Slow Clap were ready to deliver the songs.

A fine job by Hump the Shark and the group was declared “on the piss”

Trail Summary

A good 5.0 km plus with a significant check back on Memorial drive.

Bonus Content

Scoobie was unfortunately unable to make the run due to a conflicting ski camp and Mount Norquay. Sun, snow and fun. All part of making Scoobie a better skier.
