Thank you to everyone who has contacted me to ask if I’m safe: I’m not running the Original Mountain Marathon this weekend, and am at home in Edinburgh (it’s Hazel’s birthday, otherwise…).  The competitors are hardy souls, with a full shelter (tent, sleeping bag) and food (stove, supplies) on their backs, in addition to many years on hills and mountains.  I’m sending my very best thoughts to everyone down there, and watching SleepMonsters for the latest information.
