Run up Lammer Law, Traprain Law and North Berwick Law and cycle between. Total 40km with 930m ascent (and even more descent as you start in Lammer Laws and finish at sea level - so lots of fast cycling !)

April Club Pentlands Run
The first Sunday of the month club Pentlands Run. Starting point TBC, but put date in your diary now.

Fri 9th April - Sun 11th April
Club Weekend in Mournes, Northern Ireland
The weekend includes running the British Championship race in Northern Ireland, which is always a great affair, very sociable, and a perfect opportunity to explore the Mourne Mountains. This year's race is a new route on the south side of the Mournes, 9.5 miles and 4900 feet climb. In previous years sizable flocks of Carnethies have headed over for a weekend by boat and plane, stayed in self catering cottages together, raced against Britain's finest, and had a fantastic time.

If you're interested in going this year, to race or support, let me know. Accomodation tends to fill up quick, so we could do with confirming numbers as soon as possible. Easyjet flights are currently under £50 return, and the self-catering accommodation about £55. The club normally makes a small contribution towards travel costs.


Fri 23rd to Wed 28th April

A Four Day Run Along Les Crêtes des Vosges Moutains, Alsace, France in late April.

Many of you will know Nicki Innes. Amongst many other things, she organised the very successful club runs up the West Highland Way and along St Cuthbert's Way. Nicki lives near Strasbourg now and has planned a run in her local hills. The run will be a joint club run with Carnethy and members of Nicki's former club, Wye Valley Runners.

If you are interested in joining this run, please contact Nigel.

The Plan:
Friday : Everyone flies in from the UK and drives to Nicki's house, Ottrott

Saturday: drive/train to Thann in the Southern Vosges, run up on to Grand Ballon, the highest summit of the Vosges at 1424m : 12 miles, 1655m up, 654m down, stay night at Hotel du Grand Ballon, 43 euros including breakfast and eve meal.

Sunday: run about 20 miles to Col de La Schlut (about 1200m up 1100m down), stay at a wee hotel TBD. For those who have energy at the end of the day, opportunity to divert onto the Sentier des Roches which adds about 1.5 hours.

Monday: run about 20 miles to Col de St Marie (about 1700m up, 2300m down), stay at hotel on Col, 90 euros per couple dinner, bed and breakfast.

Tuesday: run about 29 miles back to Nicki's house in Ottrott (1776m up, 2226m down), eat Tarte Flambée and drink beer!

Route is GR5 to Col des Bagenelles and then GR531 to Champ du Feu then Chemin des Bormes etc to Ottrott. I have all the maps and guide books. It is just beautiful up there!
