It was a sunny day for the race this year, but pretty windy which meant you were blown about on the hill tops. It was especially bad when it hit you from the side and nearly blew you off your feet. The views were as always lovely up there and the ferns and purple heather on the hills so pretty. Well worth the drive down to Melrose.

Michael got 2nd in his category and I got third in mine. Unfortunately we didn’t hang round for the prize giving.

Well done folks, sad to have missed this lovely race! Great placing too, Michael and Sadie!
The Eildon 2 Hill race was one of my favourites, the 3 hill race must be 150% better. Well done all but particularly to Michael and Sadie. I recognised quite a number of names among the finishers; but 2 names did strike me, Bob Johnston, who participated in our Hillend Hill Reps sessions a few years ago and David Allsop, a member of Penicuik Harriers about 15 years ago.
