SOL4 Dalnamein

It looked like nothing from the A9, just a block of thick forest with some moorland either side. However, it proved to be much better in reality. Some of the open areas were a bit rough and tussocky but much of the white/pale green in the forest was good running.

There were no individual winners on the day but several top-3’s. Kirstin and Lindsey both managed 2nd as did Melanie Sloan on a comeback in W35S. Robin, Eileen, Ian and Jim were all 3rd. Douglas T and James were 4th and 5th on the M21E separated by just 5 seconds. Karen was 8th.
