Hi, I’m Rachael, a newbie to the Carnethy Hill Running Club. I joined my first club run on Wednesday evening, a loop from Boghall around the tops of Castlelaw, Allermuir and Caerketton hills, with superb views over Edinburgh. Mark lead us up through the fields, over a tussocky bog, and up a sheep track through the heather, before following the main paths between the summits. We found a last bit of bog on the way down for good measure. It was really enjoyable to be out with such a friendly group, and this definitely gave me a bit more confidence running in the hills at night, aswell as the extra motivation needed to push a bit harder up the hills! I look forward to joining another session soon.
