Purple Thistle 2016

30 31 July Balmacara

An invitation from Tessa on behalf of the Scottish Elite Development Squad to come to the west coast for the Purple Thistle on the 30-31st July 2016. "True to the barebones concept, we’ve got some low fuss, top quality orienteering and hopefully a great atmosphere!"

There’ll be a middle (net downhill) and a long race on the stunningly wild open rocky hillside of Balmacara. We’ve also got a short race planned for the Saturday evening on the newly mapped area ‘The Plock’, the last bit of the mainland Scotland before the Skye Bridge. Camping is available at Balmacara Square, with a BBQ on the Saturday night. NB: You don't have to be an elite to take part - everyone welcome! Entries and more information via O-entries
