1984 Cool weather, cool wind, cool men, brave and true who travel this 4½ mile dash round the streets of sunny Maryhill. The new year guts were well in evidence with times to match: 98 T Logue 25.27 151 T Donohue 26.35 167 A Lockhart 26.45 211 A Campbell 27.34 359 I Struthers 31.18

Goatfell

1984 This is a sober retrospect written three months later with only about one pints enthusiasm and inspiration. The weather was ideal, grey and dull and a bit wet, just like Calder.
