Forfar Multi-terain Half Marathon

Results There was a scattering of Westies at the Forfar Multi-terain Half this morning.  No golden vests on show though as the bitting wind meant I kept my soft-shell on.  Brian, being a local, was running in the sky-blue of Forfar Road Runners.  And Jo was with her south side / triathlon mates, which was
