5 Westies raced and 2 came to support ( Thanks Grim and Lizzy). This was a fun day. The route got shortened to 2.5 miles so short sharp and fast! However the snow was up to our knees and ice black and dangerous! Once on the hill you could wade deep in snow a long
Results | Photos by Allan Gebbie This was a Championship race so just under 200 runners turned up for this. The Westies travelled in style by hiring their own mini bus and even allowed the opposition on it! (Shettleston and Ochils). Thanks to Sharon for the organisation which went so smoothly on the day. I did not

There were only two Westie representatives at Achnacarry on saturday and i was hoping for a piggy back from manny! It was a very very hot day and amazing views. The track into the forestry was a good warm up..or boil up! Sadly the arrows were facing the wrong way for the descent and a
Results Late starting but this was a blessing for some who were nursing hangovers! At about 11.10 we started the new year by blasting up towards the cable station. The conditions were perfect. Ok it was cold but the ground was firm and no ice on the trail so a good grip as we ascended.
