Hardly Downhill!

The Beginning

With much celebration, we have three hares stepping up for set trail in mid January. Ozzie Pizzle Pants (OPP), Liquor Lots (LL) and Lazy Cummer (LC) joined forces to set a fantastic trail from Two House Brewing Taproom and Pizza in the Sunalta neighbourhood, in the shadow of the C-Trail tracks.

Even better, Two House has declared $5.00 pints for the month of January. Is that not a good reason to patronize this establishment? In addition, plenty of great terrain for the trail.

Trail setting was done in the cold weather on Sunday (-20 C). Monday chinook winds warmed things up to -4 C. We gathered inside prior to the run start.

Insane Bolt announced it was time to circle up in the rear parking lot of the pub.

Insane Bolt ran the circle. We had visitors, archives and newish boots.

The hares were called into the circle and explained the marks we needed to follow for the trail.

Hares ready to show us the marks……Gravel parking lot not the greatest. Time to improvise.

The hares pointed in a westerly direction and the pack was off.

The Trail

A few misleading marks lead to false trails. After the requisite fumbling around, true trail was discovered.

Finally, a park was found and the playing and sliding was engaged in earnest.

Down the hill and through the neighbourhood prior to finding the stairs that must be climbed.

We eventually made it to the pathway beside the river. This was a long stretch of distance with few options. We found the regroup under the C-Train tracks close to the pub. Refreshments were appreciated!

After our refreshments, it was back to the pub to get sorted out for down down’s.

Down Down’s

Inside Two House was warm and dry. The smell of fresh pizza was present. The pack settled in as the Religious Advisor got his act together.

Choir selected with Snevil and Roaring Nancy. The sang to them selves and enjoyed a refreshment.

A number of crimes and transgressions were brought to light, as well as the acknowledgement of the hares. Scoobie was called up to be a stunt double for Just10 Beaver, who had escaped prior to receiving her down down. Scoobie handed off the photo taking duties to others.

Eventually, Hump the Shark ran out of beer and material and we were “on the piss”.

Trail Summary

We were pleased that the weather warmed up for the run. Happy that the hares set trail in the -20C range, -4C seemed balmy. Total distance in excess of 5 km.

Hard to Imagine!

The Beginning

With Halloween approaching, the group had to figure out what to do. Some years we have done a pub crawl with full costume, while other years we have been more restrained,

This year, it was a half way “wear a Halloween Hat” theme. Snow Blower set trail with the emotional assistance of Booty Camp from the ever popular Two House Brewing Taproom and Pizza. Close to the elevated C-Train track and the Sunalta neighbourhood, a great location for a run.

Some of us were a bit tardy to the run start, so we were a bit rushed trying to capture the “beginning”. It would appear that many hashers sporting hats were present. Some went “full costume” as that is what makes their world turn. A reasonable turn out of 26 or so hashers was achieved. Did I mention that it is now dark when we start the runs?

A few shots to capture the enthusiasm of the group!

PMS used her best bossy tone to get the group organized for the hares to tell us about the trail.

Fast trail making with the tandem technique

Snow Blow indicated that the first mark was the arrow head west into the urban darkness. The pack was released!

The Trail

Starting along 10 ave SW, in the shadow of the elevated C-Trail tracks, we headed west until we found the check at the C-Trail station. As expected, a massive check back was set up for the keen runners. A large group returned to the check after they realized they had been had.

Hot Cheeks was caught out on a raised access cover on the sidewalks. The went down on trail and was not pleased. I’m sure the city will drop by and fix the tripping hazard at their convenience. Hot Cheeks survived to finish the trail.

Tripping hazard, as demonstrated by Hot Cheeks!

Off through the neighbourhoods, there was endless climbing up to near 17 Ave SW. We were driven by the fact that what goes up must come down. Parks and decoration were enjoyed on the trail.

A viewpoint was promised and delivered.

Off through the neighbourhoods to check out the decorations. The size of the skeletons attracted the interest of some of the Harrierettes.

Camshaft and Booty Camp happy to be there!

On In and Down Down’s

After our regroup, we headed over to Two House Taproom and Pizza. Busy place with trivia going full bore. We had a reserved table, which was good. Food and refreshments were enjoyed, then we retired to the patio for the closing ceremonies.

As it appeared that trivia would never end, we headed out to the patio to conduct the down down’s. Hump the Shark was religious advisor. Tighty Whitey, caught bashing, was volunteered to be choir.

The hares were thanked, and many crimes and offences were dealt with.

There was much mirth and merriment focused on Booty Camp’s costume hat. An undue amount of attention to the dangling bits was quite a spectacle.

Eventually, the down down’s were done and we were on the piss.

Follow These Marks

The Beginning

The run was set to begin from Two House Brewing Company, in the shadow of the elevated C-Train tracks west of 14 th street.

Temperature was a bit below zero and there was some ice on the pathways. A lots of discussions about cramp-on on not for safety.

The pack assembled outside in the back parking lot of the pub. A reasonable turn out of 23 hashers.

On -In started the circle, with introductions and announcements. Apparently we need hares to set trail! Sign up and feel good! The Hare was Daisy Duke. Without flagging, he described the trail marks. Apparently, with the back check in play, this trail did not follow the Abu Dhabi convention.

The Run

The trail encompassed the communities of Sunalta, Scarboro and the Bow River pathway. The trail was challenging and amusing, with plenty of check backs to keep the front runners ranging along. The viewpoint under the Crowchild trail bridge was entertaining for those that got sucked in. The extra distance runners were not disappointed.

The Regroup

After much dark pathway by the Bow River, we eventually made our way back to the regroup located under the C-Train and Crowchild Trail bridges. A fine assortment of delicious beverages was on offer. Not sure where the walkers ended up, but the runners enjoyed the available refreshments.

The Down Down’s

The group made its way back to Two House Brewing Company to enjoy the beer and pizza available.

Hump the Shark appointed himself as RA and got the group organized for down downs. A choir was named with Pyro, On-In and Dastardly up for the task.

An abundance of crimes were committed on trail that were rewarded with a down-down.

Daisy Duke set a great trail and was serenaded with his favourite “Shitty Trail” song. Hot Cheeks was the winner of the hash, being a FRB who finished first. There was some suggestion that here trail was somewhat shorter than the true trail.

Apparently Snevil surprised Insane Bolt on trail for some reason. Other crimes of sexual nature were also noted. Lazy Cummer was cited for setting a new fashion trend at the hash. His hob nail boots are apparently the next thing in stylish running footwear.

The sitting hash was honoured with a seated song. A fine display of RA prowess.
