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…

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…

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:…
