Peebles 3 Peaks Challenge

Created by and first completed by Paul Nichol on 29 September 2018 when he posted:

We did a run today which we are calling the Peebles 3 peaks. Only rules are. Start and stop at the same place - we chose the Trust. Choose your route to the mast then over to Hamilton hill then Cademuir - the picnic table then back to the start. Great fun if anyone fancies giving it a go. Round about 17 miles about 3,000 ft of climb.

Rules:

1. Start and finish at the Bridge Inn; 
2. Visit all 3 hill top:Dunslair Heights (602m) the mast at the top of Glentress Forest; Hamilton Hill (371m) the stone cairn at the North East top, Cademuir Hill (416m) at the top of the pilots trail in Cademuir forest
3. Any route except no retracing of your tracks, as it makes it more interesting

Moorfoot Runners - Sunday Runs (09/05/21)

Considering the dreichness of the morning, a good turnout for today's junior and senior runs. The junior run looped Haylodge and came in at around 1 mile. Strong running by Kieran Fulton in the juniors and a good tussle between Jake and Lola Lockyer – all but a 10th of a second in it! A good finishing battle between Elena Lee and Luke Grieve – again, the thickness of a vest in it. Also, good to see Emily Edge beating her dad Richard to the finish line! 

Junior times below.

The adult route went from Haylodge to the viaduct, into South Park Wood and over to Spoon Wood, returning to the viaduct, along the Tweed and linked up with the end of the Peebles XC route. Total distance was around 4 miles with approximately 600ft of climbing.

Good going by Dorien Kimenai crossing the line first, coming in at 42.06. Scott Robson tapping in to pooch power and Cani-crossing it with Darcy and clocking 34.10.

Hayley Davidson, pipping Jen Misak by a second to put in the fastest ladies’ time. Good scrap up front of the men’s group with Iain Veitch coming from the back marker position to set the fastest time in 27.05.

All made possible by Gillian Carr, Kerry Law, Katie Grieve, Gregor Nicholson, Ross And Luke Grieve and Pete Caddick, Tim Warner, Danny Lavin and Mike McGovern.

Next handicap run coming up on 23 of May and is being organised by Danny Lavin and Mike McGovern. Details here http://moorfootrunners.blogspot.com/2021/04/peebles-cademuir-moorfoot-senior.html
