A couple of years ago, Nic needed a long run while we were up north, and decided to run a section of the Speyside Way. Her opinion was that, aside from a couple of long drags, it was a pretty flat and enjoyable route. Fast forward to a few months ago, and we decided to return and join in the annual race from Ballindalloch to Buckie (36.5ish miles). I duly visited the Speyside Way Ultra website, put a load of details onto the entry system, and started to plan my race.

Gear Review: Event Clips
Every so often, someone contacts me out of the blue to review a product. I like the randomness of it, and enjoy trying new stuff. Rarely, though, has something come through the post with such perfect timing for a properly hard trial. When Mike from EventClips sent me a set through, it was just before my return to the North Devon/Somerset coast for the Seaview 17. Ordinarily, I'd have attached my number to my race belt, but with some fancy new clips to try, I clipped the number to my shorts and set out to see how well they would hold up to some tough race conditions.
