Cauldstane Slap 30th November 2014 (5.3miles 400ft)
This was the 40th running of the event, started as an off-season fun run for the now defunct Lothian Cycle Club. A small but elite band of runners assembled in the unusually glorious sunshine, eagerly awaiting their handicap.
Conditions underfoot were reasonably good as we set off up the tarmac road onto the Thieve’s Road at Baddingsgill Reservoir. There was a light mist on the ridges, which hid the forms of the East and West Cairn until they spectacularly appeared in the last 1/2 mile. A quick wave to Keith Weston at the top and then a blistering descent, half blinded by the low sun.and back to finish. I caught a couple of runners, but was passed by more.
Ian Campbell of HBT won the race and the fastest time was clocked by Al Hart also of HBT. The other two Carnethies were Neil Pendrich and Alistair McGowan.
Prizes and special 40th event cupcakes for all. Thanks to Jimmy Cooney and Ferranti AAC for organising.
