Peter and Elspeth's Westies Day Out

A big big thank you to Peter and Elspeth for another great day out at Westie-easter-lands (Peebles). On a lovely sunny cold day various Westies and others went mountain biking and hill running in the gorgeous countryside surrounding Peebles. The main group of runners - me, Elsie, Pat, Isabel, Ana, Cat, Helen, Lois, Steffen, Damon (and bloodthirsty deerhound Anooshka), Ronnie, Chris, Donald, Hamilton, Dave Rogers, Johannes, Drew - had a great 2 and a half hour 3000 ft run, starting and finishing outside Elsie's back door and going up via a steep heathery climb to Newby Heights and then to Preston Law and Hundleshope Heights, where we headed back down a cracking descent to Dead Side and finishing down Gipsy Glen. Pete, Keith and some others headed off on their mountain bikes to Glentress. After we got cleaned up we enjoyed free massages care of Pete & Elsie's friends. Suitable relaxed, we enjoyed oodles of tea, goodies, soup, veggie mush (as Peter so elequently put it!), lasagne, more goodies and, of course, great Westies company. A fantastic day out, and thanks again to Pete & Elsie and everyone else.
