UNDER SHR RULES

October 2020   :   Run and time yourself any time during the month                                              

The Full Morven course (8km, 640m climb) takes a direct route up Morven above the ruined cottage of Balhennie, starting on the walker’s access path by the roadside. It follows good tracks all the way but is not marked this year. The initial steep section above Balhennie is avoided on the descent by the gentler landrover track which descends diagonally NE to Balhennie from the coll below Roar Hill (ref 395033).

There is a Strava segment for the route – ‘Morven virtual hill race route 2020’

Safety – Minimum kit recommendations:- Full body cover to be carried.  Map, compass & whistle depending on conditions on the day.
