Slag Heap Challenge
27th April 2005
'Forget all that namby-pamby stuff about running over green grassy
hills and breathing in the cool clear mountain air. Here's a run
over
real-life terrain for the hard men and women. The run crosses slag
heaps and passes a car scrap yard, a landfill rubbish dump and a sewage
works. Unfortunately it also passes a castle, a duckpond, a ford and
an ancient waterway but we'll hurry past these things as quickly
as we can.
The run is 7 miles and takes about one and a half hours. Contrary
to what Gordon may say, sandals are not the ideal footwear for
this trip
as
there is some interesting scree running on the way back.'

Seventeen people took up the challenge on what turned
out to be a beautiful evening in some pongy, some pretty and some
surreal landscape. Here's a picture story of the run. We rounded up
the evening
in the
Cramond
Brig. A great run. Thanks Nigel! AN
