A great local race with a friendly atmosphere and lots of good communication prior to the race through their webpage and Facebook event. This was a slightly altered route due to the presence of livestock, we missed out ‘King Seat’. Other than that the route was the same as previous years. There were hills interspersed with boggy sections which were at times knee deep. There was also some pathless sections over heathery ground which were tiring and challenging navigationally. For the most part the route follows the outer edge of the Baddinsgill estate and so staying close to the fence will keep you right most of the time.

What a great race for Penicuik Harriers at Baddingsgill, 4 prizes and some superb running on rather boggy ground. Rob’s quite correct, Ben Nevis will be very different, rather more climb, lots of stony paths; but much less mud.
it is indeed the muddiest race on the circuit – a lot of fun. Probably why my mud-bunnies were there 🙂
Next weekend will be quite different
