Two Breweries 2014
Never mind a certain Marathon taking place of a similar name, this was the Baxter’s Two Breweries Hill Race, the first without our Elsie…or was it? I arrived several hours early in clear blue skies and Traquair House and grounds were a stunning place to prepare, and at registration, for the first time in 30
Titanic got it easy…Scottish Island Peaks Race 2014
Brian & I dedicate our 2014 defence of King of the Bens to our much missed friend Elsie Scott, who for years was part of this race as much as any of the islands we visited. Well, I can honestly say, fuck that was really hard! Friday started in Oban with the fast 4 mile
My First Ever Race!!!
Glas T Toe Tickle – Maisy’s first race (on my own 2 feet!) The last time I did a race with my Daddy it was in my buggy and I beat Daddy by a second, and lots and lots of people were very sad because I beat most of them too! Now I gave a

Creag Bheag Hill Race
I have won this race since 2000…until tonight. At last the Gods offered up a worthy opponent in the form of Robbie Paterson of Forres Harriers, sister of Eilidh, son of Ewan! A new route was laid and a new era was dawning as the gun shouted “bang” and we were off, up the 1
Bennachie Hill Race
Another new race for me and what cracker! Despite the perpetually sore Achilles these days I ran ok at Ben Venue last week, had a good run during the week and then had a wee5 mile flat loosener on Saturday in the rain. A very big field had gathered for this exceptionally well organised race
Mugged!!!
Rumour has it that social standards in Inverclyde have dipped to an all-time low?! It seems that the days are gone of only getting your wheels nicked if you where daft enough to stop your car for the Larkfield “lollipop” man in Greenock. Now it is reported that hoodies in the mall are sporting ever
