SOSOL 6

We were greeted with a cold and frosty morning as we went out on the sixth SOSOL event of the season. The start was just across the read from the Inn.

Hannah was a little slower than ususal coming in 6th of 7.

Max did really well coming in 5th place of 15 in a good time.

Colin came 11th of 41 on a very hilly course.

Loch Lomond

Away to the shores of Loch Lomond for the weekend. Left Edinburgh on Friday afternoon and arrived at the Oak Tree Inn in Balmaha early evening. Went for a night walk with our torches to watch the sun set.

On Saturday we got a taxi to Rowardennan and walked back to Balmaha along the West Highland Way. Took 5 hours in total with a distance of around 7 miles. Absolutely marvellous weather. Hannah was heard asking "are we in Africa?". Enjoyed some time along the route playing on the beaches! Almost went in for a swim.

Carnethy 5

A very cold and windy day for this 6 mile run in the Pentlands. 5 summits and 2500 ft of ascent. The winds were so strong you were almost blown over and much of the ground was frozen making it difficult under foot.

Got round in 80 minutes, almost a full 10 minutes faster than last year. 301 st place out of around 460 runners (395 th last year).
