Re: Highland Trail 2015
Looks like Tom is about to become the second person to have completed 2 Highland Trail Races (440 or 550). Mr Goldsmith being the first.
A few other vet's on the course so hopefully hes not the last on this occasion.

Glad to see Steve Large out of Ullapool and rolling again, hopefully well fuelled and rested. I chatted with Steve this morning on the Ullapool to Garve road.
