On a cold and frosty Sunday nine hardy hillbillies lines up in a foggy Scotlandwell to take on the hardest leg of the Devils Burden Hill race. We were soon rewarded after a hard climb by breaking through the low cloud and getting tremendous views.

Please find details from Ian Johnston (Mens Club Captain) regarding planned Sunday training runs over the next four weekends;
The “Devils Burden” Relay Race takes place on Saturday January 24th 2009. In previous years it was found that being familiar with the surroundings and terrain of this race helped Runners on race day. To this end I plan to organise training runs of Leg 1 and Leg 3 during November. Leg 2 and Leg 4 will be addressed during December and will take 1 hour 30 minutes each. This leaves January to go over the routes again, though their will probably be different groups out then on different parts of the course.
