ESOC Score - Holyrood Park

Max and Colin headed out to Holyrood Park for their first orienteering in quite a while. Both ran very well and were both first of those who had finished when they downloaded.

Lomonds of Fife

Ran in the tough Lomonds of Fife hill race on Sunday. A challenging race with a sharp climb up West Lomond Hill, back down again, through forest trails and up to East Lomond along nicer paths. Tough section through heavy moorland grass and then final second ascent of West Lomond. Finale is the near verticle slide off the hill. Time as OK. Needed to push a bit harder.

Caerketton Hill Race

Colin ran in the Wednesday night slog up the ski slope at Hillend and back down again in 19 mins 32 seconds. A very tough short sharp race. Better than last year but about 20 secs off personal best

Stuchd an Lochain

Max and Colin got up early on Sunday morning to tackle a munro. Got to the hill after a long and winding drive at about 11 am. The start was very steep and through wet and muddy ground. Not terribly nice but we made very fast progress. The ridge and summit were much nicer. The final descent was very tough on the steep and rocky ground.

Corstorphine Walled Garden

Went with Les to Corstorphine Walled Garden where they were celebrating 10 years and an award. The Garden was looking very good. Climbed to the top of the hill and the tower.

London Holiday

We enjoyed a very pleasant two weeks in London, Richmond and Windsor.
