INVOC Colour Coded Event - Carse



Carse is a forested sand dune area on the Moray Firth, and provided fast runnable terrain with occasional areas of moderately detailed dunes to maintain interest. It is an area I last ran-in in September, 1982 - 24 years ago!

I ran the brown (longest) course which was 9.1k with 21 controls, and which took me 59 minutes. My run was fairly clean, although I did still feel a bit tired from recent multi-day events!

In 1982, the M21A course I ran was 12.3k with 27 controls and took me 72 minutes. The winner, Colin McIntyre, took 67 minutes.

2006 Results.

After the event, I went to Fort George and spent a while scanning the Firth for Bottlenose Dolphins. One was observed breaching some distance offshore and provided a nice end to the day.
