The plan for the Thursday night off road run on 08/05/08 is to set off from Blairadam Forest Main Car Park at 7pm for an easy 6ish mile hilly run through the forest. A nice easy run, not too far for those who will be doing the Cateran Trail 23 mile race or the Ben Lomond Race on the weekend. Hope to see you there.

On Saturday 7 Hillbillies made the trip up to Banchory for the Clachnaben Hill race.
It was worth the trip as Richie picked up third senior and Richie, Tommy and Kenny picked up the Mens Team Prize. Well done Guys.
We also got a smattering of spot prizes, some Grand Prix points and it was a great day for a run.

Three Carnegie Hillbillies made the long trip to Strathpeffer last Saturday to contest the Knockfarrel Hill Race which was the 2nd counter in the 2008 SHR Championhips.
In a high quality race Tommy Lawrence ran very well placing 12th in 42.42 with Sandy Bennet, 31st in 46.13 and Neil Campbell, 113th in 60.57.
Just remember take care when jumping barbed wire fences!

As quite a few Hillbillies wish to travel to this race can we meet at DAS at 8.45am for car sharing. The race starts at 12 and you have to park about a mile from the start. Anyone wishing to car share please leave a comment below.
As it is Clachnaben long trousers are recommended as the heather there fair rips your shins. You have been warned.
