Well done Mike for pulling together a last minute Equinox run. With little notice a quorum was achieved and a small band got the bus out to Carlops for a quick one in the Alan Ramsay. The forecast wasn’t great but in the event, apart from a rather brisk and chilly wind, it was spectacularly good with clear air and boundless views. In the great tradition of drink fuelled Carnethy runs we quaffed ales in the bars, and for novelty value on the hill Mike’s M&S G&Tea with gold flakes. A strange drink. My home made blackberry liqueur, which was actually pretty good but in too short supply, and Jeff’s remarkable meadowsweet infused whisky. Karin’s ricotta and spinach pies were excellent and we had cakey substances in abundance. Sparky had a stick. Oh well, if you are a dog, you don’t really know what you are missing. And he enjoyed it as much as we did ours. Around 13 miles, and with a small group quite fast, finishing in daylight at the Steading for food.
