Run #9 - Beer Festival in La Doua

HHHi Halfminds,

Beer tastes better with you! But before heading to the beer festival on Sunday, let's pretend to have a hashtrail.
The hares promised the shortest trail in history... it's still taking 2 of them to lay it... 
Well, here some useful/less info about next run :
 

When : Sunday 13th  April at 12:00 (just to confuse you)

Where : Tram stop "Université Lyon 1 - Claude Bernard" (Tram line 1 and 4)

Hares : Neglijected + Just Jaime
 
Hashcash : 5€ (maybe)
 
Bagdrop : no, carry your own shit
 
A to B trail (B 10 min walk from A)
 
Dresscode : "You can dress in your muggle attire" said the hare. 
                   "Just try..." said the RA
 
On-After : we are going to the Lyon Beer Festival,  at the Double Mixte, 19 Av. Gaston Berger. Entrance cost 9€  (7,50€ if you buy your ticket before ). Bring cash to buy your beer.

Run #8 - Ste Foy Lès Lyon

 HHHi Halfminds,

You better get up early to be on time for next run!
Let's see how many hashers the hares will loose even before the start of the trail.

What else? Hills, secret alleyways and hidden church stuff again, fantastic view points, maybe a few markings... and the 2 traditionnal Lyon H3 drinkstops???
 

When : Sunday 30th  March at 14:00 

Where : Parc Clos de Chassagne, Chemin de Chassagne, by the Tennis Club / accross the Swimming pool.

How to get there : From Perrache, take Bus 8 in the direction of Oullins at 13:25, stop at "Piscine l'Amonite"  . (Bus goes once every 50 min!)
If you miss bus 8, try bus C19 in the direction of Francheville, Stop at "Ste Foy centre" and then walk 15 min (bus goes ones every 25 min)

Hares : You Chew Mine and Lazy Swinger
Hashcash : 5€
Bagdrop : yes, if needed
A to B trail (but we have transport if you need to go back to A)

****************************************
Run report :
 
Guess what?? Trail went up and down again!
 

We spent quite a lot of time looking for the infamous murderer "Le Boucher de Ste Foys"
 

But the scariest thing we saw on trail was a beercooler full of... limonade!!!
 

Many historical and touristy stops where randomly planned by the hares.
 


And thanks to a well placed "Beaver stop", our Canadian visitors/virgins truly enjoyed their day!!
 



 

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...)
 

When : SATURDAY 15. March at 14:00 
Where : Place Bellecour, north-east corner. In front of the Crédit Mutuel, 15 place Bellecour 
How to get there : Metro stop Bellecour
Hares : Tintin and Lazy Swinger
Hashcash : 5€ + bring your own €€ for spontaneus pub stops
Bagdrop : probably not
Dress code : wear green or something Irish 

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

Run report :
 
The wet Irish weather welcomed our Swiss guests at their arrival in Lyon, but rain stopped immediatly as the run started.
Pity the hares had laid the trail the night before...
 

The green pack briskly went off, runners up and down the hills of La Croix Rousse, Walkers taking a less steep option (and yes, there was definitively some shortcutting involved.
 

Watched a bit of Rugby in the first pub.
 

More shortcutting by the walkers ... the hare being lost on his own trail, decided to head straight to Pub #2 , where more rugby was watched.
 

 
A short circle on the river banks, with some famous locals.
 
And our Swiss guests had to be carried home...
 

 
See you soon again!





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)
https://maps.app.goo.gl/TGhpNcmXhhxaZ7xA6
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
 
Where :  36 Rue Jaboulay, 69007 Lyon, at the entrance of the parc
https://maps.app.goo.gl/tqyrgtzuVoKuBCPh7 
 
How to get there: Metro line B Jean Macé, Tram 1 or 2
 
Hare : Lazy Swinger + Just Jaime
Hashcash : 5€
Bagdrop : yes
What: A to A run, walkers and runners trail available
 
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!
