TTC 2021 - Done & Dusted


And so another memorable TTC comes to an end after a relatively last minute scramble to put it together. First & foremost, I would like to thank those who shared the load. To Russell for assisting with arranging the finances; to Eddie for fixing the T-shirts and breakfast goods and to Frances for stepping in to take over Plan C for the lunches at the very, very last minute, then filling the not inconsiderable vacant role of chief of porridge before finishing off the weekend organising the great kitchen clear out. Not only that but a huge thanks to all of the above for enthusiastically leading the packs despite a catalogue of injuries and conditions acquired in the preceding months! The Lade Inn did their usual excellent task of filling us to the brim, despite the non-standard circumstances of the pandemic and Fabb Scotland welcomed us to their newly named "Treehouse" hostel with open arms (and are already asking if we are coming back next year). Finally, the weekend only worked because of the enthusiasm of all of you who participated, whether you could make the full weekend or even just a day of it. Anyone who is not a runner would find it hard to believe what we voluntarily put ourselves through physically in the name of enjoyment but there is no doubt that this is what we did!

I didn't take many photos this year as I was too unfit to run ahead or to stop for action photos and catch my pack back-up and you know I wouldn't like to spoil their run by asking them to stop for a photo :-). Here is the album of those I did take (team photo still to be transferred from my camera). Feel free to add any photos you wish to the album.

Thanks again Alan (and everyone else who contributed) for once again working small miracles to get the TTC to happen, it really was one for the books. The runs are tough, daunting and, for me anyway, way beyond my comfort zone but getting the head down when it matters is what the TTC is all about.
