The theme of this run was blue, and many hashers took this to heart. They whore blue... so much blue. |
Lucky Shite even came with blue spectacles. |
Hashers find the trail following the road along the lake shore. It's a warm day so they welcome the shade. |
Not too many checks at the start, so hashers wait at a strategically placed HH. |
More of that shady trail. Some Bitchy C leads the pack. |
Back Into the Sun |
SBC's happy to see a check, or hash halt. |
Taylor Arm of Sproat Lake |
Its a warm day, and our two FRBs, Master Baited and Just Justin decide to take a breather and wait for the pack at the next check, making it an impromptu hash halt. |
Realizing that we have no group photo - so that we know who we lost during the run -, we snapped a shot of the pack ... and already Boomerang is missing. But the show must go on.

Here comes Boomerang! He's found. |
The Hare provide some instructions. Something about swimming. |
Stoolie Andrew looks ready to go. He's almost tapping his toe ready to go. |
Invitingly Cool Lake Waters |
Hashers stung out along the road in a pattern of endurance. |
|
|
Hashers find another hash halt. The pack has caught up to the FRBs. |
The first split-arrows on the trail, and a change in course after a relatively long stretch of the run. |
Hashers arrive at the home of Judith, a friend of Muck Sucker's family. |
|
Near the house entrance is this beautiful rock wall with lanterns and planters. |
This garden seems to be a constant labour of love. Here are new beds ready for planting. |
All soil is painstakingly sieved to remove roots and stones. |
This image shows what the garden looked like before it was worked and terraced. |
In the back are plants for the kitchen. Chard, carrots, and other vegetable in easy-access grow boxes,
which has a tap close by for easy watering. |
There is a greenhouse and potting shed to start plants off before they go into the garden. |
On the back deck hasher enjoy some water before heading out. |
The deck boards are cut to fit around the rock outcroppings. Even the decking is organic. |
Finally the trail heads towards the lake, and the BC! |
Sunning Blue Balls |
The rabble cools off in the lake. |
Deep Shit and Blow Hole having fun in the water. |
Co-hare Cardinal Sin showing some style (and courage) while wearing her sunglasses in the water. Last person I knew did that, also lost their sunglass in the water. |
Stroke Alone is not so sure this water is warm, though he was sold on that. |
Wet Taco ... now Soggy Taco |
Some Bitchy C's Vertical Yoga |
Now if we could cast her in bronze Sproat Lake would have its own
' Little Mermaid', or perhaps ' Girl in a Wetsuit', ... but it would be 'Some Bitchy C on a Rock' - the name would become famous. |
The BC is done, so now the slightly damp wander off looking for the run's end. |
It's not over yet! Hashers follow the trail to a glass tower in the woods (Sproat Lake Style). The house was designed and build by Muck Sucker's artist Uncle Wesley. He did all the carving, painting, tile work, and the bathtub (though I didn't see the bath tub). |
The entrance is almost camouflaged by ivy, and the banister almost looks like it had come off an elegant wooden ship. |
Inside there are many plants. A glass roof provides plenty of sunlight even though the house resides deep in the woods. |
Good blooms. Uncle Wesley has a green thumb. |
Boomerang and Cock-a-Leeky enjoy the rooftop deck. |
This photo shows how the top of the tower has a sun room opening onto a small deck. |
Hoopalong Chastity finds a pussy to play with. |
Cardinal Sin is ascending the stairs. Here you can see how this glass tower caters to getting light into the house. |
We make it back to the camp grounds where the Hares and weekend organizers all get a down-down - more of an honour than a punishment. |
Bad to the Bone, Muck Sucker, Angie (Muck Sucker's mom), her friend Fran (they probably brought a blue berry desert), and Deep Shit. |
Some Bitchy C calls Stroke Alone into the circle for a charge. |
|
Savouring the Beer |
Wet Taco is happy, and almost proud to be punished. |
Stoolie Andrew's Front Teeth |
Jennifer is called into the circle and asked to kneel, to... |
... be named Nut Job. |
Just Justin, suspicious of what's coming, is called into the circle... |
...and is named Rim Job! |
Given that the last two hashers called into the circle were named, Wet Taco has some trepidation over being called into the circle a second time. |
Mischief Managed...to Beer The morning after aftermath of another Blue Berry weekend. There were others who got charged at the evenings circle, but we only have so many good photos. On On |
