Welcome to D.A.F.T. Joggers ! We are a small group of Scottish Enterprise Dunbartonshire employees who formed D.A.F.T. Joggers in March 2004 to promote and encourage walking, jogging and running amongst our colleagues as a way of developing a more active lifestyle and healthier work-life balance in partnership with the Scotland's Health at Work (S.H.A.W.) initiative.

EDGE Students in the Campsie Hills (Part 2)

Some more photos from this week's outing....

EDGE Students visit the Campsie Hills

On Scotland's hottest July day on record, a group of our EDGE Students, CESA Consultants, joined Fiona & I for an 8km trot across the Campsies to the trig point at Cort Ma Law. Several bottles of water & energy drinks (plus emergency supplies of Jelly Babies !) were consumed during the 1,750ft climb, which toook slightly longer than anticipated.






Ari & Alissa attempt to coax the sheep to come down & pose for a photo or two.













Unfortunately, they don't appear to be too impressed !














As the group string out with Ari & Diego charging ahead, Grace performs a more delicate trot across some of the boggier terrain on top.












We regroup at a cairn mid-way to the summit for some Jelly Babies & water, while Diego clambers on top of the cairn & unfortunately gets cut out of the photo - sorry, Diego !!









Grace is so glad to have finally reached the summit, she requires some encouragement to start the return journey !













However, apart from some minor first aid required for Maria's blistered heels, most returned relatively unscathed, if a little muddy.

We will wait to see if anyone wishes to join us for next week's return to the Slacks at Old Kilpatrick.
