Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Is that area the fun bit with the big depressions, but very clear underfoot running? I seem to remember that was the best bit of the course in 2015.

The bit with the leg 15-16 and around near the legs to the finish I remember having lots of brashings underfoot and unpleasant to run on.

Supposed to be one of the top 5 places in the UK. There seemed to be brashings everywhere particularly the areas you point out Fozzy. Several people getting excited at the end and face-planting.

I’m back home. I sprained ankle (after retiring) on day 1 - got a crutch to watch day 2, walked a few controls yesterday- stunning area. Also chemicals on fields set of the airport alarms!

An SN colleague ended up in Elgin A&E today with a suspected broken ankle ankle but thankfully just sprained. They must be busy this week 😃 Anastasia, if Carlsberg did O I think it’d look like this…

If I read the small print correctly, cartography by Jon Hollingdale :-)

Looks like you missed out on the horrible dune bit to the seaward side, which is covered in the thorniest bushes I've ever encountered.

Might just do that Old Croc. Was planning on doing Aviemore but seeing as you’ve invited me I’ll come along. I’m staying in Nairn and heading to Dundee to see family. 50/50 whether I take A9 or A96.
