Luss highland games race
I did this race a week ago and was surprised to be the only Westie in a highland games so close to Glasgow. The race is very short, less than 5k, and the main problem you have, apart from the sharp climb is finding your way back down through…
Alva Games Hill Race
A new race for me. Hot, mad, mental but fun. Stupidly steep - a slog up and a controlled bum-slide downhill, narrowly managing to avoid being engulfed by the gorse bushes, and a great welcome by the crowds at the Highlands Games. 31minutes of…

Some photos from the start of last night's race. Too many midgies to hang around!
Glamaig
Glamaig is a hill race I’ve wanted to enter for quite some time but holidays and other events have tended to clash leaving it on the to do list. Finally, the stars aligned and I was able to make my way to Skye to take part in this…

Earlston Black Hill

Bog and burn race at Turnhouse on the 3rd of July 2013. Some photos from the race...
Lairig Ghru
In 1684 (or thereabouts), the entire Westies club was almost wiped out in an ill-fated social run across the Lairig Ghru. Or so the story goes. Ask Muffy, she knows. My own experience was less dramatic, but it doesn't take much to imagine what…
Calderglen 2013
Turned out to be a perfect running night on Friday for the Calderglen trail races.
Spotted a couple of Westies vests warming up, Michael Sweeney and Chris McKuddie, Michael looked like he could give the front runners a good push along and Chris…
