BEN LOMOND 2007
This years race did not have the good weather of last year but despite this, proved to be another success. This was mainly due to the brilliant assistance of marshals, time keepers, car parking officials, the mountain rescue team (MRT), the…
Twelve Trig Trog
7th - 8th June 1997This race is not for slack jawed nancy boys faggots.When I heard about this race last year I thought I must do that as it's the race that comes closest to where I live. Unfortunately ....., congenital stupidity made me actually…
Two Breweries Hill Race
The 25th running of the Two Breweries saw an impressive win for Bog & Burn Champion Alasdair Anthony, not normally renowned for tackling the longer hill races.I did my usual leading out of the field for the first half mile or so, before…
Whangie Whizz
Quick report on yet another successful Westies production. Another record entry (121 senior entries + 8 under 15's), a muddier-than-ever trail, diverted because of the coos, one runner stretchered off with crocked ankle, fantastic weather again…

Cort-ma Law Hill Race
11th June 2008Perfect conditions for the Cort-ma Law race rendered the man-eating emerald green bog only knee-deep rather than the usual waist-deep. The race saw a fine turn out of 18 Westies.The fast running helped race winner Kenny Richmond…
Sunrise on Ben Lomond
The pictures tell the story. Having missed the fantastic cloudless Monday stuck in work all day, I was determined to fit something in on the Tuesday. Set the alarm for 5.00, starry sky out the window (advantage of living out of Glasgow) so jumped…
