iROMP
Oct 17th to end of Nov. Achtemarack, Drumnadrochit iROMP. Achtemarack is a mature coniferous forest with some steep hills and a lot of interesting contour detail and many rock features. There is one main track and very few other paths. It was used in the Scottish 6 Day in 1999 and has been used very little since then except for training. The map has been recently updated by Jon Musgrave, but there has been a bit of thinning since then. There is an orange, light green, green and blue course. Thanks to Dave Summers.
Course and safety info here. Maps sent by email in eNews.
******** Craig Phadrig iROMP remains out until the end of the month. Course and safety info here. Maps sent by email in eNews. **************
