Round Arran Road Relays
A traditional Westies day out over to the Isle of Arran. Not a relay in the usual sense, more 6 separate races with times added up at the end to find the winner. I was joined by Dave Riach, Tony R, Nigel, Drew, Muffy and some-time Westie Mark McColl. We've no idea where we finished as we headed for the pub soon after the finish. I plodded round a scenic 11 mile leg north from Blackwaterfoot to Pirnmill, legs dead from the day before's 80 mile cycle and Corbett-bagging day round Loch Rannoch. Drew's knee imploded mid-run sending him headlong into a lovely Arran hedge and reducing him to a hobble for the rest of the day. The weather was great, Arran its usual lovely self and, of course, the Westies company tops.

Poor Drew, I think that it was the shock of seeing Isabel and Alisdair drive past! Get better soon Drew.
A grand day out, despite the implosion. Comment of the day, when I finished my leg (a minute or two faster than 3 years ago I might add!);
"you will have found that easy, since you run for a GOOD club". I assured him that though the club is good, we let anyone in! Provided they look good in yellow.

Aye it was a "fair day" as the 'East-Enders' say it, been a wee while since I've ran for Westies and enjoyed every minute of it, expecting a wee comment from Chaz on this................
