The Alternative Carnethy 5 Series of races completed last week with overall results below. Some nice route comments summarise the races:
Tour de Glencorse
“lost a few mins bashing through ‘deep fernage ‘ and missed turn off to Bells hill and optimum route back but lovely route for an Autumnal run”
“Great route although steep rough ground going up to Bell hill. Great views and got to see amazing pink sunset”
Allermuir-uuphil
“Rainbows and a rain storm finish”
Caerketton Doonhiller
“Next year I’ll be brave enough to do it as part of the race!!”
Shiloh’s G string
“Great fun contouring East Kip. Turned on the afterburners down South Black.”
“Hopeless ‘shortcut’ to avoid East Kip!”
MMM
“lovely route, thanks Pippa. Lots of chanterelle mushrooms too!”
“Great fun with Mike/James although gave up looking for re-entrant checkpoint beside Allermuir after about 30mins :-).”

Well done to all who did two or more races in the week and congratulations to those who managed their time and their recoveries to do all 5 races in the week. Hopefully you feel good for doing it and can celebrate with a beer, a race winner’s wine or vouchers from Craigdon for Rachel Nash who would have to donate any alcohol to her Mum and Dad. Thanks also to Pippa Dakin for setting the Mini Mountain Marathon route. The following are due a prize which is collectable tomorrow night at the Arthur’s Seat Handicap, or from my house.
