Dollar

Dollar Hill Race A hard first ascent. Passed by virtually everyone on the way up. Didn't catch any westies on the way back down. Pumped by the auld yins once again. Very impressive performance from the old man of the club.  Well done Brian…

Dumyat

Results Third in the Bog and Burn series. A great wee race. Results are now up on the Stirling Uni website.  There was a great Westie turn out and some great performances. Gregor was 6th and James 12th followed closely by Owen and then…

Sorry this is late. I’d put it off because the website wasn’t accepting posts and then ... .  I’d had my eye on this race for a while as I’ve started looking south for races that are closer to home. Turns out we’re…
