Fraserfish Feb 2012 2:04pm, 10 Feb 2012 70 posts	0 Fraserfish I think I put myself down for the last night, just in the off chance I can run off with the suit and fulfill my 'tron' bedroom fantasies. ahem anyway an invite is extended to anyone in Bathgate and sorrounding districts; a few of us are going for a tough hilly 10miler tomorrow morning. All fetchies welcome. See the West Lothian thread. Thanks

HappyG(rrr) Feb 2012 10:11pm, 10 Feb 2012 17,250 posts	0 HappyG(rrr) Yip Rents - Tarmac stops at Clifton Hall (just past climbing centre) so only 1.5 miles. But that does mean it's tarmac all the way from town, except Suntrap to Ratho (2 miles) to past there. Pretty soggy when wet from there to Broxburn, in places. Also Philpstoun and other places out to Linlithgow. Not too wet at the mo tho (we've been soooo lucky with weather here in East Central Scotland) :-)G

SpicedApple Feb 2012 10:21pm, 10 Feb 2012 5,701 posts	0 SpicedApple STOOSH, have a look here: speedoflight2012.org.uk It's an event that's being out on for the Edinburgh Festival 2012. It takes place at night on Arthur's Seat and involves runners weraing special lightsuits running a choreography. Quite a few Fetchies took part when the organisers trialled it last summer to see what they could do (I was going to, but then couldn't make it because of work, unfortunately.).
