Caerketton 2014: no bogs no burns …

... but a smashing wee race to finish off the Bog and Burn series. I hadn't done this version of the route before but really enjoyed it, maybe because I wasn't last for a change! 102 starters waited for the juniors to finish their well-subscribed…

Saugh Hill Race

Results This little low key race is a favorite of mine, and seeing as this was a very busy weekend on the hill running front, I thought this year it would be ultra low key! However, there was quite a healthy entry by Saughill standards. Set…

Ben Ledi hill race

Results A really perfect day for the Ben Ledi race on Saturday. I couldn't do the Scolty trip so looked for an alternative. Then persuaded fairly new Westie Dawn to come along too, only her 3rd hill race and her second was the Kilps on…

Run of the Mill

“Apparently a lady phoned the BBC to warn that a Hurricane was on its way……don’t worry there isn't” Ah yes, we remember it well…….1987 watching the tree bend,bend, then crash onto the hedge. (This…

FRA Relays 2013 – ‘Seriously Autumnal’

It all looked a bit bleak; the car park wet and windy, the hill-running masses huddled in their team tents (Where the hell was the gazeebo?!), every man, woman and child dressed head-to-toe in their weatherproof armour, not exposing an inch…

Manor Water, 2013

Manor Water, 2013 Results I managed to convince the rest of the family that sheep dog trials are really exciting and that the scenery is just mind blowing. Add forecasts of a golden autumn day and they were easily up for it. Now to the race:…
