A very sociable version of the Arthur’s Seat handicap route – 6 miles to the bar and slightly more for those who returned to KB. The faster and more sociable groups left KB together to head towards Pollock Halls and even stayed together for a while. We enjoyed an extended stop on Arthur’s Seat to listen to Al McGowan who was giving an archaeology talk to an audience that included Steven Fallon. Staying together round the route, or at least in parallel showed lots of route options. I think we managed 4 of Whinnie Hill. We bumped into Lucy Colquhoun on our way down back towards Leslie’s Bar at the end of my last Carnethy Wednesday run for some time, and my last Carnethy run before I turn 50. Really enjoyed the company of all those who turned up in the bar, including many that could not join the run.
My evening finished for me with my usual dash to catch a bus on Queensferry Street – 16 mins for 1.9 miles OK after a few beers |
Short run 7.30pm Willie was missing spiney stingy things and steep slopes and set about addressing the situation. The group consisted mostly of Paul and a large selection of offspring, dwarfed by nettles and a tall friend. Then there was me and Lindsay competing for ‘slowest hillrunner’. A good time was had by all! Digby |
