The Trail
With temperatures of 32C and high humidity, we packed out at 1:15 in the hot
sun. The trail started from NDG Park at the corner of Sherbrooke and Marcil. It
cut through the backstreets of NDG to Villa Maria Metro and the adjacent Girls
School. It was there that the pack ran through the lush rural background of this
hidden Church property and was treated to a an endless loop around the Upper
School in a masterfully piece of trail confusion by PF, all the while grumbling
about the poor markings and the heat.
The next segment took the pack on long run up the Westmount incline. Not all
hashing souls could brave the heat and the altitude, and some were spotted
slinking down the mountain at various intervals. A welcoming drink was waiting
at the Summit Circle Bird Sanctuary, from Mustapha the Bicycle Bartender, for
those who persevered.
The return trip took the pack back down the mountain via St Joseph's Oratory
where hashers passed kneeling Pilgrims, and a live bell-toller and a gift shop
selling Pope-Soap-on-a-rope and other religious articles. Mustapha took the
opportunity to make some reverential comments about the Catholic Church and
organized religion in general. These views are best not repeated here.
The final leg took the pack down the edge of the mountain, down Queen Mary to
Decarie and back to the NDG park. Down downs were held at the friendly bar
situated next to NDG Park, where we had earlier been evicted for traspassing.
