Details
| Description: | The Hill of Alyth is one of our best areas, with extensive views over Strathmore and north towards the Grampian hills. It was remapped in 2004 when is was used for the Scottish middle distance championships, and has a wealth of tricky contoured areas, and a labyrinth of thick gorse patches, giving a real navigation challenge in places. Courses will also make use of the extensive path network to give route choice, and offer suitable courses for newcomers and those wanting to avoid rougher running. |
