Anyone know what these tags are for? @Lawrence?
A pile of them on the east end of Lou’s, down the fire escape and toward flat lake.

There’s also orange markings spray painted on the granite in a number of places.
Yes noticed that too. And also orange flagging tape from the old entrance all the way to the Halifax rock.
I have no idea who is doing any of this marking. No one has contacted MRWA or HRM Parks about an event, that I know of.
The orange paint appeared a week ago. Hopefully it is at least water soluble…
If any readers have insight into these markings, feel free to send a private message.
I initially thought a Hash House Harriers club but I’m not sure if there is a club here and I’ve never seen them use anything other than chalk to mark their trail.
There are a few trail running clubs around, but from what I know of them, they are pretty respectful of the trails and trail associations.
Yes… in Asia it was always Running Hashes leaving paper trails, plastic labels, and paper staples to leaves to make the trail…
Didn’t a bunch of these markers and paint show up a few years ago too? I think there might have even been some at Whopper a while back too.
Males are harriers, women harriettes and children are known as horrors lol.
I can vouch for the horrors from time to time lol
Ha, hash house harriers. I have a t shirt of theirs from Toronto. Thrift shop score.
lol, I’ve done a few hash house runs for beer two millenia ago.
It was always marked with chalk or chalk powder though.
Paint marks (arrows, letters etc) have appeared in the past too. I think some were from RC car folks.
Hopefully Teddy takes care of the recent orange markings.
Running then Beer and that’s about it for Hashes We did bike hashes in Malaysia which were mtb rides then beer and much more fun. Some people brought BBQs and stopped to cook dinner mid ride (in a 2-3hr ride)
These harriers have something to learn. It’s all about the beer mile.
These aren’t trail markers that I am familiar with. Nor Is it a system I have seen using tags and paint on the ground. I also have concern that they snapped the branch to hang a tag. This goes against the “leave no trace” principle that is taught.
I assumed these were HRM markings because they use the same orange paint when marking roads. Would be nice to know for sure why they’re there though.
