Hogomany long challenging run (2hrs +) from Innerleithen - Glen Estate & Loch Eddy - CANCELLED

CANCELLED DUE TO COVID SITUATION

Colin is organising a run at 10am on the morning of  Hogomany / New Years Eve (Thursday 31st Dec in case you are not sure!).  Meeting point outside No.1 Café, on the Innerleithen High Street at the junction of Traquair Road.  

Current COVID restrictions will apply https://www.scottishathletics.org.uk/clubs/club-support/coronavirus/ A 'Bubble' will be formed for those while doing the run but please adhere to restrictions and follow social distance guidance before and after.

There will be a high level and low level option depending on weather - low level route as shown here from 2017 https://www.strava.com/activities/1334538502

The high level route will be the same second half of the run back from Loch Eddy in Glen Estate, but with the first half climbing up the side of Cardrona Forest.

We expect the run to take up to 2-3hrs so plan accordingly, snacks, spare warm top, body cover in case we have any extended stops. Depending on the spread of runners we can let the group split into two so all paces can be accommodated.

Glen Estate is a bit of gem and largely over looked. Here are some pics to give you a flavour:

Please let Colin know on colin.m.williams@talk21.com a few days before at latest if you intend to come
