Not-the-Aonach-Mor Uphill Race

When I asked Ros for her comment, all I got was ‘It was foul’. It had seemed such a good idea; What better way to see in a New Year than a run to your (relative)strengths,uphill only, on a beautiful winter’s day. Snow, clear blue sky, sunshine, a gentle zephyr wafting us up the hill….. it was foul! Due to a power cut there was no gondola and no cafe. The hoped-for zephyr was gale force at the bottom station with torrential freezing rain. The race was therefore abandoned and a trail race of about 5 miles,substituted round the forest trails; what’s to say ? It was foul.

P.S. Our apologies to a couple of other Westie vests glimpsed through the gloop; morale was at an all time low and we finished, changed and set off straight home with the car heater on max. Support also there from Kingussie.
