https://drcarlosarzabe.com/dr-carlos-arzabe/ 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 …
My week in Mull – June 2022 Van life day 1. The bike nearly didn’t make it after the inner tube exploded just before we left the house and covered the inside of the van with gunk but Oban Cycles saved the day with a new inner tube en route to the ferry. First stop …
02/04/22 – Weekend adventuring part 1….today I jumped on the ScotRail train to head up to Rannoch. Friends were getting off at Corrour but I had a run to do so got off here to run to meet them. The route was well sign posted with little arrows and I met not a soul on …

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 …

05/06/22 – Milngavie Trail Race… great local 8.5mile trail race organised by the local scouts. What’s makes it even better (apart from the best cakes in the world!) is that the start line is less than 400m from my front door. The sun was shining and the start was a great place to catch up …
