Walk in the Pentlands
Went for a short walk in the Pentlands. A heavy fog had descended on Edinburgh but all was clear on the Pentlands with views to the clouds below.

Scotland 9 Australia 8
First trip to Murrayfield for Max and Hannah. We were joined by Aymane as Cherry couldn't make it. Treated to a fantastic match. They put on a good show at Murrayfield and the lights and band and fireworks make quite a spectacle. The match was tense throughout with a fantastic climax. Scotland took a strong 9-3 lead with around 10 mins to go and then had to soak up the pressure. Australia scored after 80 minutes and then missed the kick. Kids loved it!

Loch Leven Walk
Went out with Les on Sunday morning for a long walk round the Loch Leven Heritage Trail. Nice weather and a very scenic walk that took about 3 1/2 hours to get round 13 km. Started at Kinross and ended at the Vane Farm RSPB reserve. Colin ran off to get the car as the path only did a 2/3 circuit of the loch.

SOSOL 1 - Barr Wood
Another glorious day with clear blue skys and chilling air. Max and Colin headed off to Barr Wood near Stirling for the first SOSOL of the new season. Colin did a fairly poor job of navigation and got round in a disappointing time. Max struggled and gave up after the third control on a difficult course.

Tinto Hill Race
A massive crowd out for the race this year. Started near the back of the field and made steady progress up the hill. Fantastic views on the way down with the sun shining on the field and hills below. Made up a few places on the descent which is a lovely fast 15 minute downhill dash. Time probably just outside time from 2 years ago.
