Devil's Burdens 2022 is OFF

Unread post by BillF »

It is with regret that we've had to cancel the Devils Burdens tomorrow. The expected high winds mean that Falkland Estate have had to withdraw permission for us to run in the woods.

We are considering alternative dates for Feb or March. More news as and when.

Apologies for the short notice. The news only came through about an hour ago.

A little bit more background ...

As you may be aware, there is an Amber Weather Warning covering the the east Scotland tomorrow. "Gusts of widely 50-60 mph are likely with a short period of gusts in excess of 75 mph". Given the expected conditions, Falkland Estate's insurance requires that they discourage visitors. In the circumstances, having an event taking place in the forest was out of the question. There's no satisfactory way of getting out onto the open hill without going through the forest at some point (though perhaps the open hill is also not where you want to be when the wind is gusting to ~60mph).
