It was a fine morning as we drove to the Beeftub, earlier than usual, and arriving at 10:25 we were first there. We got the seats out and waited.
The first car arrived and a steady stream followed until about 11:30. Stewart Whitlie ran down from the top of the Beeftub via the descent route and we all headed for the start. Nick Mac had already climbed to the top of Great Hill to point the runners in the right direction. Gordon was waiting with his own number at the Beeftub.
At 12:10ish the race started with 26 runners, then 2 more appeared running to the start, they joined in 4 minutes late.
Digby was at the monument and pointed the runners to Irene who pointed them the Annandale Way to Annanhead Hill and on to Nick.
The other Nick (Schierloh) was photo taking just off the summit of Great Hill. See photo album here
Digby managed down from the monument in time to shout the times to Helen as the first runners appeared.
Matthew Sullivan of Shetts appeared off the last summit in the lead but with a bit of local Knowledge gathered on the way to the start, Stewart Whitlie found a bracken free route off the right side of the hill to win this years Devil’s Beeftub Hill Race.
The first and only Junior was Michael Kerr of ADAC in 6th place and the first Lady was Lisa Blackley U/A.
