The 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso

A belated happy Birthday to The 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso who was 75 yesterday, but as you know I was up in Scotland doing my bit for the run around GB coast run.

Although it was a very long day starting at 05.00 and getting home at 23.00 it was an experience I would not have wanted to miss. I love Scotland and was pleased to do my bit and although I ran alone was grateful for the help from Richard and Graeme and was proud to carry 'Barry the Baton' the 13 or 14 miles from Montrose to Arbroath.

Coasting around Britain

Well it is almost upon me my leg of the Coasting around Britain, tomorrow I shall run between 12-16 miles from Montrose to Abroath, I am scheduled to receive 'Barry' the baton from Richard aka Longbow at Montrose railway station do my leg and pass 'Barry' on to Graeme at Abroath Museum.

So it is up at 05.00 to get the bus to Wigan and the then the train to Montrose for my leg to kick off at 12.30, I have allowed myself up to 3 hours as not sure if it is 12 or nearly 17 miles.

I shall post on Wednesday my experience.

Upwards & Onwards
