Ben Lawers Range

Colin headed out on a sunny saturday morning for some Munro bagging. Set off early at around 7.45 and got to the hills for a 9.45 start. Headed up the hills at a good speed and knocked off the first 4 munros in about 3 hrs. After a bit of a rest the last hill proved a bit of a slog and was reached after 4 hrs. Took a lower route following a track to the south of the range at about 600m then contoured round to follow the path the last mile or so back to the car park. That's 63 munros now completed.

Bangor

Visited Maxwell and Rosemary in Bangor as we stayed over 3 nights and spent the days at the JK events.

JK Day 2 - Tyrella

Drove down to Tyrella area for day 2 of the JK in a great area with lots of very complex dunes. Colin ran an absolute dog of race with a massive miss on the first control. Really struggled to get the map for the first 4 or 5 controls before getting into the groove. Finish 95 of 107 - oh dear ! Max came in 4th of 8 in a long 16 B course.

JK Day 1 - Sprint

Excellent Sprint course at Stranmillis College in Belfast. Great crowd and atmosphere on a gloriously sunny afternoon. Spent some time beforehand at the museum with Hannah and Cherry staying on there a bit longer. Colin ran a decent steady pace with not too many mistakes. 69 of 100 in age class. Max came in 39 of 58 runner in M16 class.

Hunters Bog Trot

Colin raced in the Hunters Bog Trot a short sharp race in Holyrood Park. Hannah came along to eat ice-cream and support. Felt like a fairly good run but time was slow compared to previous two runs in the race. Haven't been on very good running form for quite a while now.

Boghall Handicap Race

With feet still a bit fragile after the weekend Colin headed out on the Carnethy Handicap race from Boghall. Lungs in fairly good condition for the climb but feet definitely not so I saw an awful lot of runners go past me. Trundled in in second last place as the sun was setting. Nice evening out even if seriously off form.

SOSOL at Cademuir

Max and Colin ran in the last SOSOL of the season at Cademuir Hill in Peebles. Hannah and Cherry came along for a walk. absolutely glorious sunny day. Max came third but will be pipped at the post for the Light Green championship in which he will come second. Colin did ok on a long hard course.

Source Code

Super saturday outing to the cinema to see Source Code. Excellent film. Edge of the seat all the way through.
