Posts for November, 2024

We had a year off last NYE, sticking to a simpler night of pub craic, stupid amounts of food and falling asleep on the couch, dram in hand, little paper hat on.

This year it’s time to clear out the dining room, lock up the breakables, dust off those purple velvet dancing shoes and invite some top musical talent to turn 2024 into 2025 for us.

Byebye ’24… how ye doin there ’25!

The experience of running in the snow at night in the Scottish mountains makes Snow Running a unique event in the UK Hill Running Calendar.

Format: Hill running circuit around Glenshee ski station on the compact piste snow, run at sunset and into the winter night. Short (6.5km) and long (11.5km) courses for range of abilities.

Designed as a challenging but fun event. You can run it as an opportunity to simply experience the challenge of the snowy hills at night or as a fierce mountain competitor chasing the trophy!

Participants must have done sufficient training and have an optimal level of health and physical condition, plus experience of undertaking activities in mountain conditions.

Variety of local artists, crafters and makers . Christmas gifts. At the village hall in the charming village of Nethy Bridge , 11 miles from Aviemore or 5 from Grantown.
