With Michael back as the 7@7 routefinder, a Lucyless group set off, wondering if it would be rain or humidity that got us the wettest.?? As the sky brightened, good honest sweat won out (at least for your scribe).
The anagramatical amongst you might see the connection in the title, and thus it was, a mixed up version of the normal Craiglockhart route. Old favourites, such as the Car Wash Wall and the GreenBank Fence Bypass were seamlessly incorporated.
To help level the runners’s speeds, Michael took not so much a leaf, as several chapters from “Willie’s Book of Spontaneous Route Adjustments”.?? Having apparently let (most of ) us off the steps up Blackford hill on our way home, he took us round the corner for an even steeper ascent. Nursing a slightly dodgy leg, Norman had wisely peeled off to make his own way home by this point.
So, whilst the outline painted on the map look more like an infant’s attempt at an emaciated dog than a scorpion, the run had a wee sting in the tail for the fasties to revel in.
