Having way too much fun!

The Beginning

We were pleased that Pyro volunteered to set trail for the group. He is know for setting great trails in challenging terrain. The hills of Tuscany and Scenic Acres provide some great views along with elevation changes.

The run started near the intersection of Tuscany Boulevard and Nose Hill Drive NW, in the Home Depot/Tim Horton’s parking lot.

The start location was busy with shoppers and patrons of the recycling bins that were conveniently located nearby. The group filtered in and found a suitable location to have the circle.

Something like a circle

A good turn out of over 30 hashers, including some returnees from last weeks run with Bacchanal doing a great job of recruiting new hashers to the group.

Camshaft went through the announcements and introductions, then the hare was called into the circle to describe the marks.

This is an “on” mark, flagging also used!

Pyro pointed a direction and the pack was released.

The Trail

Leaving the parking lot, the pack fanned out to find the marks for true trail. There were some busy street crossing that needed to be navigated prior to finding the wide open spaces.

With the trail done, the runners waited patiently as the walkers were out for a long walk. Eventually, all was made right as the regroup beverages were available.

With outdoor down down’s, the group created an encampment to rival some of the best unhoused persons installation.

The group got set up and waited patiently for the down down’s to begin.

The Down Down’s

Bacchanal volunteered to be the Religious Advisor (RA) for the evening. She assembled her program as the beer Meister’s prepared the beverages for down down consumption.

Bacchanal called to pack to order, and selected a choir to help with the singing portion of the ceremony.

Your RA – Bacchanal

Bacchanal selected a choir based on matching shirt types. A group of orange started singing themselves a song.

First off, the hare was acknowledged. Pyro set a fine trail for all to enjoy.

The group were declared “on the piss” and retired to Nottingham’s Pub for debriefing.

Pyro Saves the Day!

The Beginning

Canada Day is meant to be celebrated! We are pleased that Pyro stepped up to set trail on this day. With Canada Day falling on a Tuesday this year, that meant it was following the epic Monday night trail set by Daisy Duke.

The start location was set at in Tuscany NW at the Twelve Mile Coulee Natural Area parking lot, also known near a fancy condo complex known as Villa D’Este known by Google.

It was a hot day with an afternoon start. Being ready for the heat is a challenge for cold weather folks. The pack arrived and prepared for the the trail to begin.

Insane Bolt called the circle to order and went through the formalities for this small but enthusiastic group.

The marks were described by Pyro and the pack was released.

The Trail

The Tuscany area has spectacular views of Canada Olympic Park and the Rockies to the west. The ravine can be steep and deep in some places creating some adventure on the pathways.

Pyro surprised us with some urban exploring. Why not have the pack get lost in these twisty neighbourhoods! Please obey all traffic signals.

Eventually the pack made it safely back to the starting point. Cooling refreshments made the effort worthwhile.

Down Down’s

The chairs appeared and the pack prepared for outdoor down down’s delivered by Hardly, the Religious Advisor for the run. Sun protection was a good idea for those that did not want to be consumed by the solar radiation.

The down down’s went very well and met the needs of the smaller group. Hardly declared the group “on the piss” and it was time to relish in the Canada Day vibe,

Trail Summary

A fine trail in the 5 km range. Great terrain with sufficient up and down to make the beer at the end taste even better.

Good thing you were not here facing the Canada Day beach crowds at Grand Beach Manitoba.
