Another tough one from Kevin Gauld and his team. 6 Hours riding with no rest on the course. Times were slack ( so I was informed although they suited me fine ! ) so were tightened for the Sunday. With Richard Hay and Euan McConnel turning out for the first round along with returning Ricky Mair and new boy Frazer Norrie - it was going to be an interesting weekend. Young guns Allyn Scotland and Neil Chatham were also up for it and faced some international competition in the form of Morgan Rosell from Sweden.
Defending Champion Derek Little lead the riders off on a reverse course starting with a short run to the test ( timed on all laps) . Then the fun started - with some fast and furious racing along the beach to Lossie. Finishing with "Hamburger Hill " at the end of the test.
Then on to check 2 and a long run through the forest - no rest here and lots of stumps to catch you out. Check 3 was a nice run back to the start - but also racing over the "Dragon's Spine" - fast is good - but any mistake and you are well off in the bushes.
