Lairig Ghru 2008 – Coach Option
In 2008 thanks to generous sponsorship
from Absoft, we will be able to provide a coach to
assist with the logistics of competing in the race.
Absoft's website can found at http://www.absoft.co.uk
for anyone who wants to know a bit more about them.
The coach will be available at Aviemore
after the race to take you back to the start at Braemar.
The coach will plan to depart at 5:00pm which should
give everyone sufficient time to finish the race and get changed (possibly even
showered – which would be nice) before the cut-off.
Thirty places are available on a first-come
first-served basis. Enquiries about
availability of places etc should be made to the Race Organiser at rsdijkhuizen@hotmail.co.uk
In 2007 a number of runners booked seats but failed to
take them up. This is unfair on other
runners and reduces the amount of money available to pass on to Cairngorm
Mountain Rescue.
In 2008 therefore you
must pay in advance to reserve your coach seat. Please pre-enter both the race and add the
£10 coach fee.
A confirmation email will be sent once the available
places have been checked. If no places
are available, you will be offered the option of abandoning your entry and your
entry and coach fee will be refunded. Once your entry and coach place have been
confirmed however the fees are non-refundable.
Rob Irvine will organise the coach on the day and you
must sign-in with Rob at Braemar by
Any kit which you might have should be sent to Aviemore via Deeside Runners (see
main race page) where it will be held at the finish with everyone’s
else’s kit. It is your responsibility to
collect your kit and take it with you onto the coach.
