A pleasant evening for a run saw 8 of us taking a gentle trot through Scolty, being a bit careful to save ourselves for the Loch Ness Running Festival this coming weekend. Gordon, Mark, Jack and Ali were joined by Dave, Lesley, Bill and Morag.

Club Run Tuesday 24 September 2013
Heavy cloud and later, a light rain did not deter the ten of us; Jack, Steve, Gordon, Mark, Dave, Lesley, Bill, Nick, Paul and Rick. A pleasant run on an evening that could not be described as cold – but then it wasn’t warm either! Perfect for running in fact. It was dark in the woodland and everybody present agreed it was time to move under the street-lighting sooner rather than later, before somebody twisted an ankle or something worse.
Club Run Thursday 19 September 2013
Steve, Gordon, Dave, Lesley, Shirley and Jack enjoyed a gentle run through Scolty on a lovely evening albeit, on the cool side to start, but it soon warmed up.
