I love the concept of a running round in the Pentlands, so thought I would give the 500s a try. It's a nice route - not too much painful sprit crushing heather bashing!

The time can certainly be improved upon, I took an incorrect line of Black hill (in thick fog in my defence) which probably lost me 5ish minutes. I was not 100% committed to the decent back from the top of East Cairn either. 

A relatively challenging time for someone faster to beat?
