I had the camera on video at the top of West Lomond so here is a wee video of the day.

I have been experimenting with Flickr to get the photos on the Blog. Here is a slide show of the Devils Burden recce runs so far.  More photos will be added as I get more time.

Tiger & Neil plan to run leg 3 on Sunday. Leaving Dunfermline at 8.30 so starting about 9.00 from Scotlandwell. We plan to run the route out past West Lomond to the Well and then return to Scotlandwell.

Tommy and Ryan McKenzie shall be doing all 4 legs on Sunday from Falkland at 10am if anyone would be interested!

Here are some pictures of our day out. 19 Hillbillies and a dog. Cold weather, snow and sliding down the hills. What else would you want to do on a Sunday.

Here are some photos from todays recce hill run.

There was a great turn out of 20 harriers who met at Falkland village hall on a Sunday morning for the first Devil’s Burden recce run. 6 harriers followed the leg 1 route and then returned on a shorter more direct path back to the village hall in Falkland. A further 9 after completing leg 1 made there way up the fire road along the first section of leg 2 and round past Harpenden reservoir and back down to Falkland. The remaining 5 continues on past leg 2 and took in the first part of leg 3 before a short road section then on to leg 4 heading back to Falkland managing to cover 20mile.  We were met on route by Sandy and Ritchie who were out doing a large loop taking in the whole course.

Well done to John, Tommy, Andrew, Richie, Sandy and Lewis. What a fantastic result getting second place in Scotlands premier hill relay. I am sure we surprised a lot of other team.

Well done to all the teams. We had 36 runners out in the hills which is great. The weather was on our side and everyone put in a great effort.

Thanks again to the team captains: Sandy, George, Paul, Garry, Fabienne and Andrew. You all made sure it happened and your teams all got in the right place at the right time.

A big Thank You to George for producing the route maps for everyone they really helped.

Lets look forward to some more great hill running events this year.
