Moonlit Run - Hill of Fare

Meet at 7.30pm at NJ 743039 - linked to multimap. There's not a lot of parking so if you can share lifts it would be good. If anyone wants a lift out then we have a few spaces - give me a ring on 326106.

Bring a headtorch and if you're not sure of the route up to the mast then take a map & compass, hat, gloves & extra layer - you never know what might happen!!

Afterwards you're welcome back to ours for pumpkin soup and pizza - 127 Deeside Gardens.

See you there.

Full Moon Runs

Back by popular demand?!  Here are a few dates for full moon runs for the winter months.  Not all of them are on the full moon to avoid training nights etc.  Idea is to have a sociable run followed by sociable food/drink.  Headtorch is essential – also map, compass, whistle & warm clothes a good idea especially if you don’t know the routes or think you might get lost!

Nov 23^rd Fri - Cairn William then Grant Arms(?)

Dec 22^nd Sat – Morven winter equinox run
