After Durisdeer Andrew Sim and Neil Campbell decided to go for a run in the Ochils. Where could they go? How about from Castle Campbell to Andrew Gannel and back. Hey a bit tedious but someone has to make up these lines. It was a good clear evening and we had a good run. You can see the profile of the route below.

The Bishop Hill Race on Sunday 2nd March is race 2 of the 2008 Carnegie Harriers Hill Running Grand Prix. This is a short (3.5km) local race with just 300m of climb and so is an ideal race for experienced or novice hill runners.

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.

Hill Run Report – Sunday 18th November - Glen Vale, near Gateside at 9:30am.
Yes this was the map and compass session. No pre-planned route, so no cheating possible. I arrived promptly to secure my place in a small carpark. Just as well as a huge group of other hill folk turned up at the same time – all walkers, no runners…

Can anyone who goes on a hill run please drop me a short email just so we can get some postings on the blog. I am still not fit enough to get to the hills myself yet.
