The slower group enjoyed a fairly pacey moonlit circuit from Swanston. We ran over Allermuir and Capelaw, pausing to admire the cityscape, the moonlit hills and a very clear view of Mars. Then a muddy return route back to the car park. Photo by Pete Cain.

Half a dozen of us joined Nikki D on a clear, breezy night, for a run on a well chosen route, starting with the long, runnable ascent to Allermuir. The moon, not quite full, made a spectacular floodlight, with the earthbound lights of the city doing their best to compete. Avoiding the worst of the Pentland mud, with paces aligning and the wind behind us, there was an “almost hypnotic” stretch on the way back. 5.3 miles in 76 minutes.
