Weekend in Dundee

Cherry and Colin celebrated our 20 wedding anniversary with a trip to Dundee - it's a long story ! On Saturday the weather was great, chill and clear, so we changed plans and headed to Tentsmuir for a nice walk along the dunes and through the forest. Great location. Saw some seals bathing in the submerged sandbanks.

Nice gym, swim, dinner and shopping in Dundee.

Lasswade Walk

Lovely sunny morning. We headed out to Lasswade and embarked on the muddiest walk ever doing a circuit from Lasswade to the ruins of Mavisbank House. After that back along by the River Esk. Lunch at the Paper Mill which is a very smart restaurant opened during the summer.

Braid Hills Cross Country

Max and Colin went out to the Braids for a 2 circuit 6 mile race round Braid Hills. Max headed off strongly and held a 100 m lead for the first two miles before being passed by Colin. Max bailed out at the half way mark whilst Colin trotted on to complete the course in 48 minutes.

Dumyat Dash

A lovely cold saturday morning with clear skys. Headed out to Menstrie near Stirling to run in the Dumyat Dash which is an 8 km run including the summit of Dumyat Hill. It was pretty tough going but seemed to go reasonably well coming in around 1 hr 15 mins at 152% of the winning time.
