We are thankful that Hardly, Twisty and Dastardly teamed up to generate a great hash run in the North part of town. The run started from the Black Bull Pub, but the group consolidated in the parking lot prior to the run start.
This would be the pub we started from. Used this stock shot as none was taken.
In the parking lot, the hashers assembled and Hot Cheeks was promoting the hand made Hash kilts. They were handed out and all went for a run!

Camshaft ran the circle and went through the announcements and introduction. We had some new boots and returning archives making for a good sized group.

There was a bit of a kilt parade, showing off the kilts that are available to bid on, with the funds supporting charity.
Kilt display!
The hares were called into the circle to describe the marks for today’s trail. Multiple playgrounds were promised!
We have marksMany marksWe are great markersI hope you paid attention to the marks!
With the marks described, the pack was released.
The Trail
Out of the parking lot, the hares had set many long check backs. The pack was confused trying to find the true trail, but eventually that happened. Pathways, backyards, alleys, streets and sidewalks.

The regroup vehicle was found, and the group headed back to find their chairs for outdoor down down’s.
Where is my chair?
Chairs found!
The group settled in and prepared for the down down’s to begin. Mostly chatting and enjoying suitable refreshments.
The outdoor venue meant that we had to prepare our own down down’s. Great work by the beer wenches to pull this off.
Precision workMake sure it all looks nice!
In good time, the down down’s were ready to begin.
The Down Down’s
Booty Camp had volunteered to be the Religious Advisor for the run. She had been mentally preparing for the week and was ready to unleash her creation.
A choir was chosen, and King Shit was chosen. He then sang himself a song and the ceremony was underway.

A number of offences were called out as the program got underway.
Some crimes were committed before the run started, supplement by the long list created by Booty Camp.

Booty Camp finished off by offering up the RA position for next week. Hump the Shark put up his hand, and it was done.
Thanks to Booty Camp, and Hump is on the hook for next week RA
All done, we were declared “on the piss”. Some gravitated to the Black Bull Pub for a debriefing.

Trail Summary
Somewhere between 5 and 8 km were enjoyed by the pack. A great trail with many playgrounds, as well as the insiders tour of Huntington Hills.
As Christmas is not hectic enough, it is always a good plan to have a run on Boxing Day, December 26. As society wakes up to hit the malls for the Boxing Day sales, the hash prepares for the traditional afternoon run to celebrate the occasion.
Wear your boxing shorts or a wrapped cardboard box and you have what you need for the run.
Hardly and Twisty volunteered to set trail and host the run. The afternoon was cool but sunny. Not much temperature, but not the polar vortex either.
The group arrived at the Hardly Twisty house to prepare for the run. As the afternoon is difficult for some, there were some tardy hashers who missed the circle and start. More on that later!
Thankfully, there were hashers who had the presence of mind to take pictures in the absence of the hash photographer and scribe, who was late to the party.
The circle was called and the intrepid hashers marched down the front stairs to circle up across the street at Dirty Dancer’s driveway.

The circle was conducted by someone present, and the hares were called into the circle.

With the marks explained, the pack was released to find the true trail.
The Trail
Off through the snowy neighbourhoods to find the marks. The blue chalk marks were located and the trail was ran. A sufficient number of check backs were also found on trail to heighten the trail experience.

The trail reached the end, and the group assembled in the nice heated garage of Dirty Dancers to go through the down downs.
The Down Downs
The warm garage location was much appreciated. There was refreshments and food. Hardly and Twisty did a fine job of handling the crowd.
This is the point where the late comers, Scoobie and King Shit found the balance of the pack. All was well and there was much rejoicing.
The group got settled and enjoyed the fine food and goodies.

Tighty Whitey was the Religious Advisor (RA) for the afternoon. Tighty has fond memories of being named at such an event at the defunct Len’s Den pub in the Ambassador Motel. Apparently the boxing shorts theme was interpreted as the underwear he had on. Fact or fiction, it was the motivation for or RA to share his namesake wardrobe.
Are you ready?

TW went through his program of honouring those that set up the trail, as well as other stories that required a down down.

Trail Summary
In the absence of any gadget data, here is an approximation of the 4 km trail that was enjoyed by the group.
As regular as clockwork, the annual Yummy Kippers run combined with the Erections for the group. A many dimensional event, we plan to celebrate Yom Kippur (atonement and repentance), enjoy some golden goldfish, have a run and finally, renew the CH3 mismanagement for another year.
The start location was Bitter Sisters Brewing Company. However, the have short hours on Monday’s, so it was decided to do the ceremonies in the back parking lot with a good streetlight. Sneak into Bitter Sisters prior to closing to enjoy a pint and enjoy the evening.
Hashers began to arrive. The smart ones parked behind the pub while the other ones chose to park in the front parking lot and walked to the run start location.

Princess Monkey Spanker called the circle to order and went through the announcements and introductions.
Pay attentionReady for the hares!
The hares were invited into the circle to describe the marks they have for the run.
Dual markersTwo chalk coloursFish marksTwisty’s marks in pinkHardly’s marks in yellow
With the marks described, the first mark was a check and the pack was released! Madly off in all directions looking for the true trail!
The Trail
From the staring point, there were many options for the trail to go. Initially, the pack went the “wrong way”, only to conclude that there were no marks to be found.
A snow collection was nearby, which could have been a snow ball opportunity. Opportunity not taken!
With many possibilities to explore, the pack was initially confused.
This way?Trepidation
It was in the alley, and now the pack was on trail.

With the parking lot achieved, it was time to enjoy refreshments and prepare for the outdoor down down’s.

Snacks were available to compliment the refreshments!
Snacks!
The Down Down’s
The group continued to get organized. Chairs appeared and hashers were mingling and enjoying beverages in anticipation of both the down down’s and the Erections!
Why are we…………….WaitingBeverages ready!
Stool Stuffer was guilted into performing the Religious Advisor (RA) duties. Some confusion on the timing of the recent Rocky Mountain Hash resulted SS and RB being no shows. Stoolie has volunteered to RA the Rocky Mountain. Thus, it seems reasonable to have Stoolie RA the run tonight!
Stool Stuffer prepared his program. Essentially this is a prelube the “big event”, the Erections! Stoolie declared that all down down’s would have the participants select their own song.
Stool Stuffer ready for RA duties
First off, a down down for the hares! A fine trail though the wilds of Kingsland resulting in a fine experience for those who participated!
Here’s to the Hares!
Various and sundry offences were conjured up. Fashion, shortcutting, and other made up offences.
Menage-a-Trois had a milestone. She cunningly conscripted a stunt double to help with the middle part of the half yard.
Ready to nail this!Ready – beginStunt Double continueVery helpful….. and done!Hash Shit come out to playWhat did we do to deserve this!Onesie of shame has a new ownerLooking smart!Yes I deserve this!
With the down down’s done, acknowledged the RA, it was now time for the Erections! Hashmaster Insane Bolt went through the formalities of resolving the MisManagement for the next year.
Insane Bolt checks his gadget for the answers
Erections in progress
Erections are a big deal. Volunteering to help the club continue to deliver a great hashing experience is good for the soul. It takes a village to run the Hash, and we can now have a new crew to see us through for another year. The painful details of who is doing what will follow. Short story – PMS steps down. Camshaft steps up. The rest of the bunch continue and all is well!
With the stress of the Erections done, it was off to Bitter Sisters to enjoy a pint before they kick us out.
Pyro even brought his own chair for comfort. There may have been a small problem with who had the keys to the car. Best seat in the house!
This is how Pyro rocks!

Trail Summary
A moderate trail of close to 5 km’s was enjoyed. Good temperatures and lots of marks made it all good! Thanks for Hardly and Twisty for setting an appropriate trail for us all!
Twisted Sister has a birthday and decides to set trail for us all to enjoy. All seemed in good order. Citizen Brewing for the on after. Apparently, you had to look at the website to see that the run actually started at the Tuxedo Park Community Association, located 600 metres away. Not a problem for those that knew.
For those waiting at Citizen Brewing for the run to start, there seemed to be few hashers present. Checking the run details was enlightening, so a quick relocate for those like myself that were at Citizen Brewing waiting for a run.
Arriving just in time to join the circle in progress, we quickly got organized and got caught up with the run, and scrambled to get pictures as the sun set was approximately the run start time. I suspect that Insane Bolt, our newly minted Hashmaster, may have run the circle for the first time!

Twister Sister was called into the circle to show us the marks being used to the run.

With the trail described to the group, Twisty directed us to start running “over there”. The pack was off.
The Trail
The trail was laid in the neighbourhood of Tuxedo park. A bit of up and down, as well as streets that were at weird directions. Lots of Halloween decorations to take in on the trail.

And there were parks. Playing was encouraged and darkness was a thing.

The last playground was adjacent to the run start location. As such, we were done and the down down’s were going to be outside in the dark. Regroup beer was enjoyed.
Some of us rescued cars from the wrong start location, getting extra steps in. Back to the regroup to enjoy the down down’s.

On of the themes for the run was to find all the Hash Shits that were “out there” As such, there was quite a collection of long lost items that were delivered to the RA for our ceremonial enjoyment.

The continuity of the down downs was disturbed by some light show in the sky. We had to pause to do the “oooh’s and aaah’s” as the Northern Lights did their thing.
We wrapped up with Twisty getting birthday Northern Lights “just for her”.

We were declared “on the piss” by Hardly. Some chose to continue to celebration at Citizen Brewing Company.
