Sunny Sunday run🌞🌞🌞🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

[Buddy34]

Don't usually run on a Sunday but the weather is beautiful and just decided to go. I went a bit further this time up the cycle track this time and it was so worth it. Have a nice day 🌞🌞

A bit of history Lexi6 regarding that photograph that our friend Buddy34 took, its Hillend Loch, about 16 miles from Glasgow, just out of the photo there is a railway line, that railway goes all the way to Edinburgh, it was closed in 1966 when steam trains ended, but it was reopened during the severe winter in December 2010 to brand new electric trains. I remember passing that loch on a electric train with the temperature at - 10C, 14F, the loch was frozen white from one end to the other, a complete white out despite no clouds in the sky, I will always remember that day.

It must have looked beautiful frozen over.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Leosmit]

It did, frozen over with 6 inches of snow on it, I don't think it's been frozen over like that since 2010.

Thanks for that info Alan, it must have looked beautiful covered in ice too. The 60’s saw a lot of railway lines disappear didn’t thanks to Dr Beeching. I suppose today the disused railway lines are a boon for runners and cyclists, so thanks Doctor. 👍

During the 1990's I used to cycle on the exact bit that the railway was and now is on, they then closed the cycle path for 3 years to rebuild the railway, the cycle path now goes parallel to the railway line, I have only seen it from the train as I have not cycled on it since the railway was rebuilt.

[lexi6 Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

Where I run is a cycle path which rungs alongside the railway lines, no where near as beautiful as that. 😊 What a lovely ride it would be to travel along there again today 👍

That's Hillend Loch, a lovely place, I used to pass it on a bike ride to Bathgate, lovely run for you today Buddy34.

I went a walk this morning just after breakfast, after lunch I went a bike ride and later today I will be taking my neighbours dog Holly a 30 minutes walk. I hope you are keeping well. 😊 🏃🏾

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

Yes AlMorr it is Hillend loch. I new I had to go a bit further just to get there it was so worth it . What a beautiful sunny day we have in Scotland. Enjoy the rest of your day 🌞🌞

It looks really lovely. How good is the feeling that we can go out and explore/experience this? Well done on joining the Sunday brigade too!! Have a great rest of day bathed in the post run glow.

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Oh I've got the glow alright even after a shower I'm still glowing🤣

[59er Graduate10]

That definitely does look worth the effort - a sight for sore eyes!
