Background

This is the second annual run set to honour the Patron Saint of Wales, St. David. He is known for having slain dragons, drank only water and was a vegetarian. St. David certainly sounds like your typical Calgary Hasher!!!

Here are a few little known facts about Wales:

• Location: East of Iceland. West of France.
• Favourite Welsh food is "Rarebit" which includes all four food groups from the Welsh Food Guide: Toast, cheese, mustard and beer. (Perhaps tastier than it sounds?)
• Famous Welshers include: John Cale (of the Velvet Underground), Tom Jones, Charlotte Church, Manic Street Preachers (big in the UK), Bonny Tyler, Shirley Bassy Richard Burton, Anthony Hopkins, Captain Morgan (famous pirate), Robert Recorde (inventor of the equals (=) sign), Lawrence of Arabia, King Arthur, Lakey, Pull It, One Nut Sue, Quick to Swallow, Camel Wanker and Kawky Whoreurr.
• Names of Welsh Cities, towns and villages include: Gwynedd, Bettws, Slwch, Ffrwm, Llandudno, Pentrbach, Ystradgynlais, Aberystwyth and Cymru (Wales in Welsh!).

The Circle

The Circle was held for an assembled group of fifty-six frosty, snow covered Hashers in the usual Hash manner. Announcements were made, our new boot introduced (Louise) and details of the run announced...D's instead of H's for on trail...etc. To break from our usual routine, One Nut introduced a deflated sheepskin(what else?) rugby ball to be tossed around in the circle. As a result Twisty suffered the first traumatic soft tissue injury of the night when she was struck and blindsided this same sheepskin!

The Run

A very enjoyable thirty-five to forty-five minute run through Mission, Rideau Park and Roxboro. Hi-lights included several hills, several icy patches, -15c temperatures, a suspension bridge river crossing and several reports of deviant sexual behavior during the bridge crossing.
