allymo73 Posted April 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) Yes there will be 7 sections within 300 yards of the main car park- start area and a further 5 sections about an easy 10- 12 min walk along the forestry road or take your mountain bikes and halve the time Edited April 4, 2012 by allymo73 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel dabster Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 still got the man made one in the car park? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allymo73 Posted April 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 Yes there is still the last section in the car park.I recieved a phone call from the Forestry Comission today and they are no longer going to allow us the use of a mini-bus to shuttle spectators along the short stretch of forestry road. So a message to spectators and Minders.The distance between the 2 groups takes about 10-12 mins on an easy stroll along a pritty flat forestry road so i would even recomend taking a Mountain bike and this would half the time to 5 mins.The lap is probably slightly longer than the one we used at the Mound in kinlochleven.

cabby Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 Yeah, piece of cake mate. I think they are using the main burn used in the Scottish and WTC rounds plus another closer to Fort William. Park at the Gondola lift the sections start about 100 yards away on the right hand side of the car park as you look towards Aonach Mhor. If I'm wrong I'm sure Allymo73 will give you a better description. This isn't that clear to me, from someone who hasn't been up that way before. So to clarify, is it up Glen Nevis I drive ?? http://maps.google.co.uk/?ll=56.821359,-5.094226&spn=0.003664,0.011362&t=m&z=17&layer=c&cbll=56.821359,-5.094226&panoid=BWNcSGemC7NYlpijMcqHBQ&cbp=12,87.74,,1,8.63 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cabby Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 Tell me something, at the practise sessions on the Saturday, are they allowed to try the sections or just practise in the general area but not in the sections ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel dabster Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 for a couple of years there has been a practise lap where they have a ride in the sections, not too sure why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 for a couple of years there has been a practise lap where they have a ride in the sections, not too sure why. Never quite got my head round that one myself... From the outcome of the riders meeting in Feb "The Practice session, the day before the event, will be retained however the duration will be increased to 3hrs to accommodate the envisaged increase in the number of Entries."

big john Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 67 entries at a British round, now you're talking! Can't wait for the practice tomorrow, best trials ground on the planet... Fort Bill here I come! The breakfast at Myrtlebank (good old Rodger) is to die for, bring it on! Big John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
