River Ness 10K

Published by John Davidson on October 2, 2011 in John's blog.

I was pleased to finish this year’s River Ness 10K run in a decent time of 43.14 after being a long way off this for the last couple of years!

That meant I finished 189th (chip time) out of 2,372 finishers. Not a bad result!

Drumochter and Gaick Passes by bike

Published by John Davidson on September 5, 2011 in John's blog.

The Gaick Pass is a remote spot rising to over 500m above sea level on rough tracks through wild country. So it came as a bit of a shock to me when I bumped into a friend in the middle of it!

I was out on the bike with my brother Iain yesterday, taking him on this fine route before he heads to sunnier climes (he’s moving to Australia soon…).

South Loch Ness Trail

I’ve been out today on the mountain bike trying out the South Loch Ness Trail, a new signed route from Loch Tarff above Fort Augustus to Torbreck on the outskirts of Inverness.

It’s been a soggy day to test out the trail but nevertheless I enjoyed some fine views of Loch Ness and some pretty exhilerating cycling, including finding some sections of existing tracks and paths that were new to me.
