Daft things fell runners do for fun...

The first weekend in September was a busy one for the Cosmic Hillbashers. My other half went to do the Ben Nevis Race with two others. Some other Cosmics went to Applecross for the Bealach na Ba cycle race. Three Cosmics also went to the Braemar Highland Games, which include a popular hill race.

This week is...

...Offshore Europe week.
This means there are some extremely large tent/sheds on the AECC car park and many, many oil engineers from all over the world. My other half has to attend his company stand for two days, which required the purchase of a new suit this weekend.
It was interesting trying to get into the Park & Ride car park this morning, conveniently located, as it is, behind the AECC. The Police Traffic Wardens were out in force - standing about in the middle of the road, trying to direct traffic and look important in hi-vis jackets. Interesting to watch the people who hadn't paid attention to the rearrangement of lanes on the roundabout and were being funnelled into the exhibition parking instead of the council car park...
