Stuc a Chroin on Sat 1st May 2010
After a week cycling on Lewis & Harris I woke on the morning of the race at Shieldaig in Torridon.The weather was too foul for my planned cycle ride so I set off at 5.30am & drove 200 miles to Stratheyre to do the Stuc a Chroin race.
The route consists of a 2 mile thrash on forest roads,a tussocky moor with a steep descent with a massive climb to the summit of Beb Each.A ridge run of 2-3 miles leads to the ascent of Stuc a Chroin itself.Having avoided the faster runners hurtling down the rocks towards you,the route turns back at the summit & you return the same way.The final 2 mile thrash through the forest to the village completes this gruelling race.
Times were said to be 'slow'(I know mine was!)due to the snow,wind hail & rain that prevailed.
Having experienced the post race ceilidh before I had a dip in the river to clean up & headed south.
The next best thing to the 'Jura Experience' but marshalled by so many people that even the current holder of the Pertex Trophy couldnt get lost!
