Race report
Clyde returned to the north of the Clyde with the fourth of our joint series with STAG at Mugdock Country Park South, Milngavie
Thanks to planner and chief control hanger Thomas Wilson for some top quality courses, to Emma and Alice Wilson for helping to put out the controls and being in charge of the download, and to Steve Wilson for supervising and finding the (temporarily) lost SI unit. Hopefully you’ll all feel the benefit of a technical workout at the Scottish Championships this weekend! Special congratulations to newcomers Jennifer Bryce and Emma Dalrymple for recording an excellent time on the technically and physically challenging Medium choice.

Terrain description
A favourite CLYDE area. A huge mixture of terrain. At the South end we have the urban environment of Milngavie town centre where the railway station and supermarket are on the map. The North has rough moorland and mixed plantation forest and the middle section has areas of managed country park, woodland and moorland. There are even 2 ruined castles and some WWII archeology around. There is a good network of paths through this varied terrain and areas of intricate details in contours, rock and vegetation. The visitor centre has toilets with piped music, two different cafes, a garden centre and shop.
