Highland Cross 2006

Apparently weather conditions were relatively kind this year - not too hot/cold or wet!

Well done to Keith Robertson who was the first Cosmic home and in 9th position overall.

Probably not a PB for Anita but a pretty good time for someone with a swollen ankle.

Results

Eastern Cairngorms Challenge 2006 (27th May)

FYI, this was the first race held along the route of Jock's Road from glen doll to Braemar. 10 miles running, ~3 miles cycling. A good turn out. Hopefully, if he event is held next year more people will go the right way, myself included! The results are also available in the unlikely location of Trigger Catering (which also lists the 32 independant walkers who took 4h15m - 5h50m). Thanks to Trigger Events for organisation, transport and timing.
