X-Scotia 2008 Status as at 9pm Saturday 10th May
Well a few hours have passed now and it is fairly clear how the tactics are resolving for the evening.
Fist Steve Nash who is awesome - having completed all 3 turnpoints and he is expected to complete before midnight. This is an estimate after he just reported his position as just North of Killin a few minutes ago and he is still running ...
Second place - an interesting situation is becoming apparent between Julian Robinson and Nick Ogden - both have completed 2 turn points but in different directions. Julian having gone clockwise to Ben More / Tarmachan and Nick has gone anti-clockwise Tarmachan - Ben More and both have very similar distances to go and the final climb of Ben Vorlich - this will go down to the wire.....
Fourth contenders include - Paul Myrescough currently on Ben Vorlich having done Ben More.
John Newton - on Tarmachan, and a few others.....
Ladies - Both Jitka and Helen are about the same distance from the finish though both have followed completely different routes it will be very interesting to see how this pans out as well ...
Everyone else - well basically a lot of people near Killin with a few staying out on the hills overnight ...
Retirements - Matt Church, Mark Harrison, Crawford Coulson.

BPC at Broughton 26th May
Photos by Bob V from the first day of the BPC round held at Broughton on 26th May 2007 and based at Tinto Hotel, Symington.
A ~45km task was set with goal near Clovenfords and I am sure the results will soon be here on the BPC website.
