Run #7 - St Patrick's run

It's never too early to celebrate a Saint! Our very pious hares decided to have a run in the honor of Patrick, the Saint patron of the snakes' charmers (according to wikipedia...).
We've been promessed a trail as flat as Croagh Patrick, full of black stuff (Guinness!) and maybe a few sheeps! (one can't have giraffes on trail everytime...)

Run #6 - Parc de la tête d'or... reloaded

An old urban legend says, a beautifull hashtrail was once laid in the Parc de la Tête d'or... but the elements always prevented the hashers to run it... let's try again this time!

When : Sunday 23. February at 14:00
Where : Entrance of Parc de la Tête d'Or (49 Boulevard des Belges/Rue Tête d'Or)
How to get there from Part-Dieu train station: 10 min bus ride (line C1 or C6). Or 2km walk.
Hare : Hidden Asset
Hashcash : 5€
Bagdrop : probably not a big one. Leave your heavy shit at home
 
*************************
 
Run report:
 
What a sunny day! And the parc was open (unlike the nearby supermarket, which was closed exceptionnaly (again!), causing a bit of pre run stress for the disorganisation of the beerstop.)
 
The pack was joined this time by 2 virgins, maid to come by Just Jaime and the internet.
After an extensive chalk-talk, the pack hastily started the trail, fending their way through the dozens of muggles and some other type of wild life - some documentation here : #giraffeOnTrail
 
The parc is so beautiful, that the hare didn't bother marking any hash view, but one.
 
No pictures of the runners available... they turned up at the drinkstop though (exactly at the same time as the w#nkers), complai ning the trail had been marked exclusively with checks... ok... the hare might have underestimated the lenght of the trail... but 6.9 km before reaching the beerstop didn't seem abnormal...
After finding an open supermarket, circle was had in a little side alley way. Down-down including new shoes for Just Jaime, lack of second beerstop for the hare, too much moaning for Lazy Swinger, and one for Tintin for making his penchant for S&M a bit too obvious. 
It was decided to meet soon again for some Choir Practice...
On On!

 





Run #5 - Crêp' run

Candelmass is around the corner, and in France it means only one thing: Crêpes! For the occasion, our hares plan on letting the pack flip around Jean Macé, in search of the true trail. But will there be enough flour left for the pancakes on after??

Let's find out! Join us for Lyon H3 run #5

When : Sunday February 2nd 2025 at 14:00

On-after : Crêpes at Hidden Asset's 

*************************************************************************
Run report:
7 hashers were brave enough to show up for this crap run... oh wait... crêpes...
The hares had prepared a half-marathon trail for the runners... and almost as much for the walkers.
Luckily, there was enough beerstops on the way to keep the pack going. Thanks to our virgin beermeister!
 

 Nonetheless the warmth of the on-after (and not only the hot grolle!) was appreciated. And craps were thrown and flipped all over the place!
 





Run #4 - Parc Sisley

 It's a brand new year, so let's not "Negliject" our New Year's resolutions : run more? Drink less? be polite? no more rude songs?

Let's find out! Join us for Lyon H3 run #4

When : Sunday 12th January 2025 at 14:00
 
Where : Parc Sisley.
Meet at the entrance of the parc, accross 11 rue du professeur Paul Sisley.

Tram 3 or 7, stop Dauphiné-Lacassagne
 
Hare : Neglijected + a co-hare would be appreciated - please volunteer to help!
Hashcash : 5€
Bagdrop : probably not, carry your own shite
What: A to A run, walkers and runners trail available
 

 Run report:

What a beautiful blue sky... but temperature to freeze your b*lls off!
After a confusing chalk talk (what else could a chalk talk be anyway??) and a brief blessing, Neglijected, the hare set off to mark, or remark (!)  the start of the trail, while the rest of the pack behaved like a chicken commando, singing an infamous warm-up song.
 

All good and well until the 1st beer stop, where just the beermeister was missing... (luckily the hare had enough supply with her).

 
It all went downhill from there, the runners finding a way too well marked trail, leading them... straight to the On Inn, while the w*nkers enjoyed a second beerstop in the greenery of Parc Blandan (where the beermeister and co-hare, Just Vid, had suddenly appeared, on his bike...). 
With the use of technology, the runners looped in, and finally found the pack, for an improvised 3rd beerstop.

On the way back, Tintin disappeared with 3 of the virgins. Since the beer level was getting low, and all the "warm-up song" had been sang, the circle was brief, but short, and all happily went home!

 *********************************************

Run report

Encouraged by the older experienced hashers, our hare got convinced to set both, walkers AND runners trail... so he went for a 42km running trail, and 5km wanking trail... little did he know, the pack, all dressed up in the latest Christmas fashion, turned out to be lazy and just wanted to walk... bummer...


 Well, anyway, even with this short walking lengh, the hare got our hashers sweating and suffering, as the trail was actualy going up, up ...



 and up...


 But the view at the top was worth it, and the Mulled Wine stop well earned!

 


Some went then back down faster than others...

 

Many Christmas Carroll stops were encountered on the way, keeping the pack warm, and the muggles entertained. (Guess which one is this one :

More songs and down down followed during the circle. The virgins had fun and drank a good amount of the beer ... 

On after was had at the nearby Christmas market (open this time!)


Run #2 - Beaujolais Hangover run

 ******************************************************************
Run report
 
Legend has it, there was a beautiful trail set in the Parc de la Tête d'Or ... best trail ever... just... because of the weather, the parc got shut down 1 hour before trail start... what a luck for our hare ...
 
 
But nevertheless there was a plan B trail, in very virgin territory...
 
 
Off course the visiting racists had to show their achievments from the day before.
 

Our first time beermeister got to the beerstop on time with the precious liquid.
 

 
A couple of visitors, 4 virgins, and amazingly some local hashers... just too lazy to have hashed in Lyon before.
 

 
Circle was had, with limited amount of booze (shop exeptionnaly closed as well), but with bubbles, and a few bottles of Beaujolais nouveau.
 


First naming of Lyon H3, was the one of a dog, Just Vid's bitch : now know as "Lipsdick".

And guess what... the on-after at the Christmas market didn't happen either... due to the weather!!
(Yes, we need a better RA!!)
