Hills,Hills and Hills.

Training is stepping up a notch now.  Running is going well, continuing as usual with Monday nights, not much mileage here at the moment because I am taking out a couple of new beginners, this suits me because it makes a nice recovery after the weekends.  Wednesday nights have now become Headtorch Run nights at Mabie Forest.  Still on the same route but will hopefully be branching out (get it) when Kerry rejoins us.  She is an orienteer and knows the Mabie trails very well.   Trying to get to speedplay when I can on Thursdays.

Hillwalking have managed out into the hills on a couple of weekdays with Kona and Rissa.  Wearing plenty of layers as both days were bitterly cold, but not too cold to be out and about.   The first expedition saw us up among the Durisdeer Hills, Kona always has a great time up hills, I just wish it was as easy for me as it is for her, she's a born mountain labragoat.


















Second Trip we headed up to Morton Castle and walked up to the Roman Fortlet on the top of the hill, as you will see from the photos it was a bit blustery up there and the hills further on were well covered with snow.  I saw a route which would make a brilliant run, perhaps I can persuade some of my running club buddies to come up for the day.
