30/12/22 – It was dreich out there this morning, even Tilly agreed and didn’t want to go out the back door first thing. I knew I needed to get her out and decided a run would prob be the quickest and easiest. As soon as the harness appeared the whines then barks started. She shouted …
07/01/23 – On tour today with the crew as we crossed the water to Gleniffer Braes. I always remember John Kynaston talking about all his runs on the Braes and always wanted to try them out. Luckily Gordie knew the route so led the run. Starting at the car park we went up and down …

08/01/2023 – Not often I manage to fit in a run when I return home to sunny Maidens but today I did. I’ve spent all my childhood playing in Culzean Country Park but today managed a route that’s new to me. With thanks to a couple Strava friends I managed to use their routes to …

04/02/2023 – Wee race report for the inaugural Ardgartan trail race today. The chat all week has been how far the race would be, no-one really knew but it was going to be 21-23miles. Given I didn’t know the area or route this really was going to be one of those races that plays out …

23/10/22 – Race report for The Dunky. This was a quality 7.5km race round Mugdock Country Park organised by Acorn Trails. It is great for all abilities as isn’t a technical trail race but still brings mud, two castles, one Loch, gunning placements and views over the city. Not to mention Tunnock’s caramel wafers and …
