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 …

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. …

Got there and it was torrential rain, just what the forecast didn’t …
