Devil's Burdens Final Arrangements

Both teams are now complete. Thanks to Kenny's network of contacts.
As discussed at the club tonight, here are the arrangements for Saturday.
Teams
Team 1 (Open 50+)
Leg 1 Sandra Reid
Leg 2 Eddie Reid & Alan McLelland
Leg 3 Frances Maxwell & Geo Ferguson
Leg 4 Alan Derrick

Team 2 (Open Senior)
Leg 1 Sandy Hayden
Leg 2 Kenny Leinster & David Stakes (Bellahouston RR)
Leg 3 Jim Holmes & David Herbertson
Leg 4 George Stewart

As you will see, we are depending on Kenny convincing his good friend, AN Other from Lomond Hill Runners to accompany him. Otherwise, our teams are closely matched and should have a good head to head as last year.

Travel Arrangements
Billy to take Sandy, Sandra and Samantha, leaving at 6:45 to allow time for 1st leg warm up.
Alan Derrick going direct from Callander to Falkland and will register the teams, get numbers.
George Stewart going (via Aberdeen) to Falkland in time for 4th leg.
All others to meet at sports club ready to leave at 7:30. Car sharing arrangements will be worked out then. Come to Falkland initially and we can work out car transfers to legs 2 and 3.

Parking
No parking in Falkland Estate. Park at the village hall or at the factory up the hill near the finish. Park with consideration for locals at all changeover points. No parking on the grass in the village hall car park at Strathmiglo; use the residential street parking in the vicinity.

Compulsory Equipment
For the navigational legs (2, 3 and 4), the following must be carried (suggest a bum bag or a small ruck sack) by every runner:
Mobile phone fully charged and pre-programmed with race control number (07784 549722).
Full body cover (waterproof top and bottoms, hat and gloves), map of the course, compass and whistle.

Maps
Both Kenny and I have copies of the maps which we will bring with us. Otherwise you can download and print from East Fife AC web site here.

Any problems give me a call (0786 786 3741) or leave a comment on this post.
