May 2007 - It All Starts Here
Had the pleasure of Rog-air's company on a brutally early sojourn to Blackcap. Recently added Glaswegian flab wobbled unkindly as, for the first time since the Mighty Plodder took to this route, I acted as tour guide around my beloved trail.
A combination of cold, crisp air, gentle rain and swirling mist made for an oddly enjoyable outing, my ugly beer-sweat inconspicuous amongst the natural precipitation. We chatted amiably about this and that; Glasgow and the world of commercial fishing, Baptism and the 40-Day fast on which Rog's flock is about to embark.
Back at Chez Sweder fresh coffee encouraged warmth into our chilled limbs.
Seaford Half next Sunday; nothing more than a leisurely stroll beckons for this lardy loper.
The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph
