May 3, 201313 yr Hearing the conditions are so bad that the event has been cancelled for day two and some thoughts that scores might be difficult to calculate due to observers cards being illegible.
May 3, 201313 yr Please tell me this is a wind up ? Sorry, no wind up. Scores being taken over 15 sections only, as far as I know
May 3, 201313 yr Not surprised if this is the case. We travelled up this afternoon and I ain't seen this much water coming off the mountains for a long time. Hope it goes off in time for ssdt.
May 3, 201313 yr Best part of 4 inches of rain has fallen in Lochaber..... it rains like a bitch but it does drain quick as well. It'll be a wet Scottish thats for sure
May 3, 201313 yr Has there been an official statement on either cancellation or scoring or is this just Internet rumour? Nobody here can confirm, not that I'm about to go traipsing round fort William in this weather trying to find out...
May 3, 201313 yr Unfortunately its true just been announced at the hotel we were having dinner at, its been the wettest I've known it for years up here they postponed the start today till 11am & cut a few sections, its peed down relentlessly all day I got soaked through riding round the loch watching sections, still sorry it canc tomorrow as all my gear is now in B+B drying room ready for day 2. There is loads of standing water & all the burn are flowing real fast on the plus side theres some beautiful waterfalls to be seen.
May 3, 201313 yr Seems to be some confusion in the highlands. When i said i liked no stop i meant the observing rules not the blinkin rain......
May 3, 201313 yr Trouble is I've no pictures for this year now as it was to wet to risk camera I was saving it for tomorrow which is allegedly going to only be light rain I must admit it has peed it down all day non stop.
May 3, 201313 yr John did a broadcast on Nevis Radio earlier, said the committee had no option but cancel
May 3, 201313 yr I feel sorry for the ladies at the church who will have a mountain of home cooking & soup they won't sell & Kinlochleven school who will have bought in a mountain of bacon that will now be unsold? Its a much needed earner for all concerned.
