Trailquest Arran
JD & I teamed up to compete in this 3hr mountain-biking & orienteering competition in Arran. The start/finish was at Auchrannie. The course stretched from the lower slopes of Goatfell in the north to the forest at Whiting Bay in the south and west.
We headed out of Brodick into the Clauchland Hills to pick up 3 controls. The going was quite hard and we seemed to spend more time pushing our bikes than riding them. Crossing the Brodick-Lamlash road, we picked up our speed and collected a few higher value controls. Annoyingly, we missed a wee 10-pointer which would cost us later. Back through Brodick, we headed up the String Road before screaming back down and into Glen Rosa for 2 final controls. We had to hammer back to finish within the 3hr time limit. We made it with 4mins to spare. Once the points were totalled up, we were 2nd team, 9 points behind the winners. Remember the wee 10-pointer.....
A brilliant day out with great views over Brodick and Holy Isle. Highly recommended.
