Ted Baker - Doughnot Hill Race

Club race, the Ted Baker, a new route over Doughnot Hill, starting and finishing at Overton House. Just under 5 miles with about 1000' of ascent. Mostly trail with a short section of open hill up and over Doughnot Hill. Just over 2 miles undulating up to the top of Doughnot Hill, started in 1st place, dropped into 2nd on the short hill section to the top and stayed in 2nd to the end. Over the top and down to the Black Linn reservoir, trail form here to the finish, a couple of short uphills but mostly downhill all the way back to Overton House. Post race club sprint and doughnuts to finish, nice addition to the club race calendar

Ted Baker

Ted Baker Pappert Well,  21st running of this club race, slight route change required, one of the paths is becoming overgrown as the fir trees close in. Shorter route, more direct / up and down as a hill race should be. Only 6 of us tonight, all made it round without getting too lost!

 

Ted Baker

Club hill race, the Ted Baker, running from Dalmonach road to Pappert Well and back. 7 of us set off in reverse order. Started too quick, took me until the "stile" to get my breathing sorted, up through the forest, a mixture of mud and overgrown paths, round the trig point to a fire break for the mostly down hill run back, a short climb up Hillbank St finishing down hill in Dalmonach road, a wee thunderstorm and monsoon chased us all the way back from the trig.
