Yo people, whatever happened to the mini run to Doune Castle for Monty Python shinanagins? Has it been and gone already and I've missed it or did it just get abandoned? I thought it was a great idea!

Hmmm...
Well seeing as how I haven't organised a run yet... watch this space for next year.... I have a plan..

A plan so cunning you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel... :D

There's 4 of the locations within an afternoon's drive - Doune - Loch Tay - Glen Coe - Castle Shuna. Watch the documentary on the DVD. It's more or less the route we did for the Ballachulish Run two years ago.

Start saving those coconuts!

Now I'm off to water ma SHRUBBERY!
