Extravaganzas

Extravaganzas are mass participation club relay events, covering long distance routes in one continuous outing.

The most recent Westies Extravaganza was the Cateran Trail in Perthshire on Saturday 27th March 2010, with club members staying at the Gulabin Lodge at Spittal of Glenshee.

Prior to that, the Skye Extravaganza on 4th April 2009 attempted a North-South traverse of the island from Rudha Hunish to Point of Sleat. The attempt was thwarted by appalling weather, and was abandoned at Torrin by Loch Slapin after about 12 hours.

On 30th August 2008, the club an enjoyable and successful romp along the Rob Roy Way, starting at 5am in Pitlochry, and finishing 12½ hours later at Clober Road car park in Milngavie.
