Glendearg Farm
high on the hills above Galashiels with some great view of the
Eildon hills , with the sun out the scene was set for the final
round of the Scottish Hare & Hound Championship , A 3hr
Endurance race on open farmland & wooded areas and an Extreme
section . The aim for the riders is to do as many laps as they
can in 3 hrs , Riders race in 5 different classes depending on
their abilities .
The race
started at 12pm with the Experts away first and Dean Reid took
the hole shot getting a flying start , Fraser Flockhart had a
bad start but covered the ground fast and had the lead by the
first quarter lap & lead for the rest of the race , Ryan Mclean
in his first year in Enduros rode a good race to take 2nd place
with Alistair Millar pushing hard in the last hour to take 3rd
place.
The over 40s
class was won by Multiple Scottish & British Champ Derek Little
. James Harvey took 2nd with Alan Davidson 3rd
The Clubman
class was won by John Bollton first , Hugh O'Neil 2nd and Mark
Grice 3rd
The Clubman B
class was won by 58yr old Willie Beaty , Gordon McGregor was 2nd
with Ian Bissett 3rd
The Sportsman
class is one of the biggest classes is for riders just coming
into the sport they have to work the hardest as they are still
learning how to ride over difficult terrain , riding through the
wooded areas can be quite daunting as the trees don't move out
of your way.
The winner of
the Sportsman class was Andrew Anderson . Steven Anderson was
2nd with Phil Hewitt in 3rd
