Alva Glen has been closed due a land slide on one of the paths. Unknown how long this will be for

Recce runs for the Devil’s Burden are now in full swing and many club members have made it along to our regular Saturday morning excursions. Most agree it is a rewarding alternative to pounding tarmac and a damned good workout as well!

The Carnegie Hillbillies are therefore planning to continue these informal sessions and venture further afield to show club members some of the more popular hill race routes. Suggestions so far include: Carnethy 5, Maddy Moss, Norman’s Law, Dollar, building up to longer routes like Stuc a Chroin, Pentland Skyline and of course route recce’s for team events later in the year like Cateran Trail and Comrie Hills Relay races.

We may even include some training sessions to help promote strength and fitness for running hills and provide some tuition on navigation and hillcraft.
