It's a sunny winter's day in Saanich (suburban Victoria), and a small band of hashers keep the tradition.

Just Benjamin - his last hash as Just Benjamin - navigating some rough terrain.

Premature Evacuation charging along.

Hanging out at a check waiting for hashers to catch up.

The keg! Thanks to the 500th run, we had leftovers.

The BC! Flirt has some water. I suspect Lakey had more than water.

Preemie gets some 'beverage'.

Banged Up Between gets some tongue.

The rabble at the BC enjoying the sun; Stoolie Andrew, Kitty Licker, My Cocks A Fallen, Just Benjamin, and one of the hares Pisstifferous.

On the right, Preemie and Boomerang (back again from Tahiti)

Just Virginia - her last hash as Just Virginia.

Got ta like this shot. You don't see this very often.

February daff! It's still a month from the Vernal Equinox (March 20th)

At the circle two of the hares are called in. Just Virginia gets her's later.

Stoolie Andrews gets punished for something, but he likes punishment.

Stroke Alone is down-downed for being ... lame, probably. "It's becoming a habit", says Stroke.

Little Blow Peep has a beef with Boomerang. Not sure how big the beef was.

But they made up on the down-down.

Just Benjamin is punished probably for being a FRB.

Oh, look who're being named. What a surprise! ;-)

In the name of Gispert (the founder) we name you Pink Muffy (after love of pink, and her car)

In the name of Gispert we name you Prize Prick (for winning multiple door prizes at the The 500th Beer-Hashalon Olymprick Games)

The two pose for the camera.

A final down-down. On On!
