Carnethy Life Members
Burns Scott

	Burns Scott founded Carnethy Hill Running Club in 1983. He is also the co-founder of the Carnethy 5 Hill Race, which was founded back in 1971. Burns organised the Carnethy 5 Race for its first 25 years. Burns founded the club as he thought there were too many unattached runners running the Carnethy 5 Hill Race. The club also has a club trophy called after him which is presented annually to a nominated member who makes the most noteworthy contribution to the club during the year.

Bill Gauld

	Bill Gauld is an institution and it is hard to imagine the club without him as he has been an active member of the club since, almost, its earliest days. Bill is also an athlete of the highest calibre and amongst his achievements are two World Championships – the Over 65s in 2001 and the Over 70s in 2003 (as well as World Over 65 silver medallist in 2002 at the age of 69 !). He is a 3 times British Over 50 Fell Running Champion and two times Scottish Over 50 Hill Running Champion. Other notable achievements include, at the age of 57, winning the Edinburgh Seven Hills Race outright and running a sub 4 hour Jura at age of 59 – 3 hrs 51 mins to be precise ! ). He served on the club committee for many years as Newsletter Editor and the quality and quantity of them was amazing – every year he produced 6 large, informative newsletters doing this for 10 years.

Angela Mudge

	Angela Mudge is one of the world’s best known fell/mountain runners and her exploits are the stuff of legend and even include winning the club handicap in 1994 ! Angela was World Champion in 2000, World Over 35 champion in 2005, World Champion silver medallist in 2001, World Sky-running champion in 2006 & 2007, European Grand Prix Mountain running Champion 1999 & 2000, 5 times British Fell Running Champion, not to mention being Everest Marathon record holder and British Cross-Country champion (1999), holder of race records all over the world – the list goes on and on. But Angela has her feet on the ground and has been an excellent club member turning up at club events, relays, week ends away etc.

Brian Robson

	Brian is Burn's son in law and is vital for the smooth organisation of the Carnethy 5 Hill Race every year. He's been in charge of the finish field and tea-tent for as long as anyone can remember !
