This year Amy was working from 12-5 at the Golf Club and MA had been working on Xmas eve and was in bed, so Matthew and I went out for a 6 mile walk over the top of town. As always, when it's just the two of us, there's plenty of Top Gear-esque dicking around and taking the piss, which seems to vanish in female oversight. Listen: boys (and men) just love to arse around and think that Growin' Up is a decent Springsteen song, but not a lifestyle aspiration.
Boxing Day was going to be a "go and enjoy the leisure club at Cameron House day"; gym for me and Amy and lounging for Matthew and MA, but little sign of life by 1100, so I decide that I'm bored and a run is in order
Through the woods, along to Cross Keys, turn left into Glen Fruin and loop back round to Helensburgh and home. 8 miles and about 500ft elevation change made it officially "a challenge". But rewarding and on a still, cold day, almost enjoyable.
