Well done to anyone who braved the hill at Pannanich never mind finished their course! Bit of a toughy unless you have mountain goats for parents?

Take a look at the results and then make sure you come along to Scolty this weekend to top up your points even further as there’s only 2 more chances to do so this year.

Remember that all you have to do is come along to any of the nominated events and you will automatically be entered into the (JD)2C.

Spoiler alert – coming along to events will also earn you Junior Participation Awards and Badges and Eddy Coman is currently tracking you all down to present you with certificates for last year.

We now have a full schedule of events confirmed to round off this year’s competition. Coming up:
Pannanich  16th Sep (with our SOUL in Balgownie/Danestone the day before)

Duncan Will and Lewis Smith are lying in 5th and 6th respectively in M16 but again a few more events before the end of the series could see a big leap up.

So how are the girls getting on?
Hannah and Judith Kuhnel still holding onto joint 3rd in W8 although it looks like they might have left the area as they haven’t run since the first.
Hannah Will is holding 5th in W12 bu a few more scores now Dad’s back in town will help.

Scolty (Level C) 5th November 2017 – Results

Gramp Champs and JD²C Event

We hope you enjoyed running at Scolty.  It’s a hilly and physically tough area in some places, fast in others, and the navigation can be testing – especially near the far start on Hill of Gouach.  The air temperature of 5 degrees felt chilly in the tent, but was pleasant enough on the run.  Cold feet, though! (the forest is pretty wet at the moment).

A big thanks to our officials and helpers.  (Amazing speedy job by the control collectors, BTW.)
