Vogrie

Max and Colin did the Cati-O at Vogrie on a nice sunny afternoon. Max got the fastest time on Orange and Colin was second on Green.

Meall Ghaordie

Got up early and drove up to the hills for a quick munro bag. Weather was pretty grim in Edinburgh but had cleared a little near Killin. Headed up at a good pace. Snow falling and on the ground at the top. Ran down. Total time just under 2 hrs.

Hunters Bog Trot

Ran in the Hunters Bog Trot in Holyrood park. Nice race with 3 hard ascents but none of them too long. Got round in a good time beating my PB by 51 seconds.

Trip to the Mountains

Colin had a long weekend away to the Loch Ness area for some Munro bagging. 6 summits over the 3 days. Not quite as much as planned as there was still a lot of snow on the peaks.

Day 1 - Saturday ; Tom a Choinich & Toll Creagach
Day 2 - Sunday; Sgurr nan Conbhairean & Carn Ghluasaid
Day 3 - Monday; Meall na Teanga & Sron a Choire Gairbh

Cycle from Balerno to Leith

Max and Colin cycle the 13 miles from Balerno to Leith. Nice and easy downhill all the way.

Holyrood Park Walk

Family walk in Holyrood Park to the top of the Crags.

Normans Law Hill Race

Normans Law is a delightful race. Not too high, not too long. Lovely setting in a small Fife village. Starts along some pleasant country tracks with a modest climb and then modest descent. Then up to top of hill with brief glimpse of Tay estuary then rocket down the hill and back to the village with various routes being taken. Better time than last year and again in the top half of runners. Oh yes - and after race tea, soup, sandwiches and cake included in the £3 entry fee.

First Day of Easter Holidays

Colin headed out to the Pentlands which were yet again covered in snow. A number of skiers had left the artificial slope and were heading down the hillside. There were some very heavy drifts in places. Walking was heavy going and running near impossible. Loop round Caerketton, Alermuir, Capelaw, Harbour Hill, Castlelaw and back via Alermuir and Caerketton. 3 hrs 24 mins.
