West Highland Way Race photos

I have almost read all other blogger's race reports (JK's and Tom's still to go) but am still struggling with time to finish off my report.. In the meantime I have some decent photos which chart my progress through the race. Here we go ...

Final adjustments before the 1am kick-off - 95 miles to go!

Arriving 5 minutes ahead of schedule at Balmaha. No I haven't peed myself. Just a sweaty gusset. Nice image eh?

'Trotting in' to Rowardennan with Murdo McEwan.

Eating a breakfast BLT at Rowardennan with my Dad, Gordon.

Scratching like mad as I depart from the midge hell of Bein Glas Farm. I still bear the marks.

A er refreshing pot of rice pudding in the sun at Kinghouse after a sweltering Rannoch Moor section. Caroline, my wee brother's girlfriend helped support.

Relubing my feet with bodyglide at Kinlochleven with Ian (support runner) and Caroline looking on interestedly. Not often you see a foot re-lubing.

Me looking a bit soft in the head at Lundavra. Ian and Neil (wee brother) milling around.


Sprinting to the end with Ian, my support runner, at my back. Not sure whose hands.


Walking back from shaking Dario's hand at the ceremony, goblet firmly grasped.

My mum, Satyavajri, apparently had some kind of religious experience at the ceremony (you can almost hear the choral music). Dave W's subversive support crew in the background.


Cheers and congratulations all round the next day with Kirstin (wife), Eilidh (daughter) and Satyavajri (mum).
