Day 6. The nice side of Glen Affric.
M50L 7.0km.
That was close! Won on the day by 2 seconds from Clive. My Swedish rival Roine Pettersson finished 4th putting us level on 12 points. I won on countback. So in effect I won overall by 2 seconds. Thanks due to Big Jon for pushing Roine down a place.
Great end to a great week. 3 good runs and a couple of dodgy ones.
And England won the Ashes! :-)

Day 5. The nasty side of Glen Affric.
Caught Nick L again (only 2 min this time) and went wrong again. Got pushed off line to #5 and climbed way too far left of the line. Then lost the will to live in the felled area en route to #6 and decided to go watch WOC instead.
Speaking to Big Jon (the mapper) afterwards he was surprised that the planners had used the south part of the area which we started into. Apparently it did get better after #6. At least I should be fresh for the showdown tomorrow.

Day 4 Darnaway West.
M50L 7.3km 225m.
Another very late start. Less of an advantage than on Day 2 but still helpful. Took full advantage with a virtually clean run. Just the odd wobble/hesitation. Ran hard all the way knowing the win was just possible.
1st place.

C • Nice one. 1

Decent warm down for once as I'd run so hard. Nice jog around the off-string course.

Day 3, Darnaway East.
M50L 4.5km.
Big miss at #4 where i was a bit sloppy attacking and went for a 2 min loop of the bracken. Ended up running with the Swede who started a minute after me. We both missed #13 and very annoyingly #17. Total time loss 3-4 mins. Can't account for the 6 mins behind Jon H and Jon M. 11th place.

S6D - Day 3 Darnaway - C36 - Splits

Golf at Forres with Bill, Dave H and Arun. 27 Stableford points (15/12). Usual mixed bag. Very enjoyable nevertheless and a course worth a revisit.

Day 2. Straffarrar.
5.9km 220m.
Delayed late start. Only problem was using the right elephant tracks. Took care where necessary and ran a clean race.
1st place.

S6D - Day 2 Strathfarrar - C36 - Splits

Scottish 6 Days day 1. Achagour.
M50L 7.5km 150m.
Early start out of the way. Going well for 6 controls until i caught Nick L (9 mins!) at no.6. Then proceeded to lose concentration on way to #7 and overshot. More time went at #15 and #19. Surprised to see winner (Rob Lee) only 2 mins ahead but guess everyone lost time. 9th.
