A strange wee light appeared on the car dashboard as I left Peebles - ice warning - and sure enough it was 3C...
Arrived in Symington for registation and just before Tinto disappeared into the sleety shower heading from the west, there was no doubt that there was snow on the summit. Winter is here....
After a few squally interludes and a short delay for some competitor recounting (those who failed the kit inspection withdrew, but had not surrendered their race numbers, so the number of starters had to be recounted....) the cloud cleared a bit and the race started.
Some snow higher up and the top was shrouded in cloud/misty stuff, but nothing too severe....
Moorfoot King of the Hill - Eddie Balfour 42:44
Moorfoot Bottom of the Heap - Kenny 43:41
Good also to catch up briefly with ex Moorfooter Julia Connor and an old pal Chas Steven from Calderglen Harriers.
Full results....
Kit inspection is now being taken very seriously (as it should be) at hill races, so be prepared.
Note especially the 'waterproof jacket with hood' requirement for many races....
