STAG Winter Score 4, 2016Faskally, 31 January
There were wintry conditions again at STAG’s final winter score, with lovely scenery – some ESOC members travelled north for this enjoyable event.
Faskally is a small area just north of Pitlochry. The terrain is mixed woodland on a series of small hills beside Loch Faskally, and is quite varied, with some intricate contours and rock features, an attractive loch, and a network of paths and tracks. There was snow on the ground, and it was very wet underfoot.
The weather was dry but dull and chilly, so the indoor registration and download (at the Pitlochry Scout Hut at the south end of the town) was much appreciated, along with free hot drinks and biscuits.
As at the previous winter score events, there was a time limit of 60 minutes, and there were 25 controls whose points value ranged from 300 to 700, with a bonus system allowing anyone who had visited all the controls to revisit 6 of them for additional points - but you had to visit them within the hour.
ESOC members in the top half of the results were:
Rona Lindsay – 2nd (16,000 points)
Andrew Lindsay – 3rd (16,000 points)
Mark Wood – 7th (12500 points)
Sally Lindsay – 11th (11,300 points)
Crawford Lindsay – 12th (10,980 points)
Roger Scrutton – 14th (10,100 points)
Les Dalgleish – 16th (9,700 points)
Margaret Dalgleish – 18th (9,100 points)
Full results are available on the STAG Winter Score 4 event item, on the STAG website.
