The social group run soon went ridiculous as Cody disappeared and we heard the rapidly diminishing sounds of Gordon’s dog whistle. Cody soon re-appeared grasped firmly by the fast group, minus lighted collar. Gordon had returned to the wild however, and lacking a human whistle scouts were sent to the high ground to holler and shout. Eventually Gordon was rounded up and we set off for the Craiglockharts via the Hermitage, where Cody managed to find an adversary and a fight ensued, sending the other dog’s walker from the scene in tears. Oh dear.
Fortunately the rest of the run went ok, our C5 tired legs got us up the hills to a sparkling view and then straight back for beer.

It was an evening of animals for the fast(ish) group. After accidentally stealing Cody the dog from the social group, we took to Braids and round Mortonhall, we stumbled on a small herd of deer, who all seemed perplexed at the blur of headtorches and reflective lycra. Matt led the way, snaking through the fields, ducking under trees, over the bypass and up the Caerketton race route – a climb I found quite difficult to bear. We horsed around on the scree, then down to Swanston, over Oxgangs road, then to Blackford Hill and finally back to KB.

We know not what Andy’s easy short run was like. Splendid, for sure.
