This is a 3-hour event. Brig O’Turk is nestled at the foot of Glen Finglas, on the Great Trossachs Path between Lochs Venachar and Achray.

Score as many points as you can by visiting controls with electronic timing. The control locations are designed to help you discover the best riding in the area with terrain from challenging to *almost* flat lochside paths. New routes are still being added to the map.

You choose which controls you can get to score the most points — just be back within the time limit or start loosing points by the minute! Mapping will be familiar OS 1:50,000 style, enlarges for the area and enhanced for clarity and with new tracks marked on. Controls are pre-marked on the map that you get at the start.

Registration is from 9am with start window from 9:30 until 10:30. All riders back by 1:30 with results around 2pm. Tea, soup and cake will be available. Pairs and family entry categories are a great way to start for newcomers.

For family and friends not riding, come along and visit the Woodland Trust Visitor Gateway for walks and guides, head up to Loch Katrine (5 mins drive) or just have a Sunday morning in the famous Tearoom.

Parking will be tight, please be considerate of residents access and use the area to the rear of the hall where possible. We may have overflow parking nearby. On-the-day entry will require a day-rider registration and will be £5 extra to encourage pre-registration. It really is essential for the organisers to know numbers well in advance for catering, timekeeping and marshalling.
