Today I had a meeting at Balloch Castle with Alan Crawford, Sport Development Manager, and then Andrew McKay, Active Schools Manager. It was good to find out more about the 2 days I’ll be doing once my Disclosure comes through. There is also some possibility of teaching swimming with West Dunbartonshire but I’ll have to wait until some is sick or moves on!
As I was over at Balloch I decided to take my running gear and get on the whw route. I left my car at Drymen and set off at 1.20pm. I had a great run to Balmaha, stopped for 3mins and ran back. I was surprised how dry the track was. Obviously there were some muddy, soggy bits but generally it was pretty dry.
Here are some pictures of the run ….

Hi John, Drymen-Balmaha is one of my favourite sections. But you did not even do that twice but also in perfect weather. Autumn leaves and sunshine on the West Highland Way. I am sooo jealous…See you soon!
