Will it? Won’t it? Sunshine or sinister grey curling rain clouds? The forecast was not great but the conditions held out for the short brutal climb and precipitous scree descent. The ominous weather stayed over the Cuillins. Winner Finlay Wild opened up an unassailable and impressive gap on the peloton. Brian Marshall was 2nd and Alan Smith 3rd. And there my memory gives up. Steven Fallon was 5th and first Carnethy home, losing a place doing a double somersault down the scree and incurring damage worthy of a Tour de France faller. First lady was Lina Mardall of Deeside.

ps In case you’re wondering why Nick has a large hairy microphone being thrust at him, a BBC Alba presenter was running Glamaig as a qualifier for the Ben Nevis race. I don’t know if the piper near the summit was also part of the show but it was rather fine to be piped to the top.
