08/06/24 – Race report for the NOT 2 Mamores hill race. I should have re writing that this is a stunning hill race across two Munro summits in the Western Mamores; Glen Nevis; Stob Ban and Mullach Nan Coirean. The course was clockwise from Lower Falls, ascending through Coire a’ Mhusgain to Stob Ban, before …
14/10/23 – Autumn is the best time of year. Can’t beat a chilly but sunny morning with crunchy leaves on the ground. Parking at Chatelherault park, Tilly and I covered 12km checking out all the trails around Chatelherault and even bumped into an old colleague. Great start to the weekend! The trails are all well …
03/02/24 – Race write up… today it was the Devil’s Burdens relay race organised by Fife Athletics Club. It consists of 4 legs in the Lomond hills centring around the base in Falkland Estate. I’ve never done this before but heard so many fab things about the event. Westerlands CC had 12 teams in and …
I’ve done this route twice in the last few weeks and both were totally different days…. 17/12/23 – Let’s go for a run up the Campsies on Sunday morning was the suggestion from one of the crew. Maybe let’s not when it’s raining and wind is so strong small little me struggles to stay upright. …

26/10/23 – It was a Halloween spooktacular on tour guided 11km run tonight. Starting at Blairskaith Linn we took the trails up to Lennox forest before descending the slippery mountain bike tracks to Celtic training ground. Next over to Lennox Castle which was very creepy at night. Then along to Lovers Leap for what looked …
07/10/23 – Not quite the race it was supposed to be as the weather warnings rolled in and the rain came flooding everything. Unfortunately the EpicTrails crew were supposed to be taking part in the Dunoon Ultra but landslides cancelled that. I was signed up for the Glen Clova duathlon so fingers crossed. Came up …
28/10/23 – Early bird catches the worm allegedly. Due to parenting duties I had to get out extra early so alarm set for 6am. Meant I started in the dark and that’s not good when tired. The route starts from the start of the WHW in Milngavie. 1km, first hill, I didn’t lift my feet …

11/11/23 – Dava Way 50km (it was actually 51km) ultra. New race for me and only signed up a couple of weeks ago after being talked into it by two of the crew. The race is a point to point from Grantown-on-Spey to Forres. As soon as we all finished work on Friday we headed …
04/11/23 – @auchterarderrunningfestival you really were spicy today. It was an EpicTrails crew adventure for the Chilli 10km trail race. Bit of a laugh getting there when the sat nav couldn’t understand our accents. It thought Auchterarder was Octonauts, October, Ok to order. Got there and it was torrential rain, just what the forecast didn’t …
