X-Scotia 2008 Status - tactics becoming apparent..
Ok - it is nearly 2pm on the inaugural X-Scotia event and 6 hours have passed.
Tactics and routes are varying quite significantly ....
There have been a group who have headed West along the road towards Ben More and then headed North into the spurs of Ben More. And an equivalent group headed into the Balquidder Braes and then apparently planning to fly towards Ben More.
Another group has headed SE up Ben Vorlich and have flown down to near the start finish line again. Who are then splitting to either head West or Nortth to the other turn points.
1 person at least headed from the start straight North to Ptarmichan (Nick Ogden) and has now turned South West heading for Ben More having rounded turn point 1.
More soon ....
