Weather started superb and where were we when it started raining? The highest point on the 2nd leg, typical!! I think I invented new swear words coming off of there, it was soooo slippey, how on earth did someone do it in 4.45 hours?! Slower than 2010 due to spending so long on me backside but will be back again in 2012. Thanks to all the organisers, marshalls, jelly baby stall, other folks who put up with my bleithering on the route and above all thank you to me for doing it all over again! See you in 2012

in addition to my earliier comment....It would be nice to know how much money is raised both at the event and at the jelly bean stop. Finally, if anyone is in Northumberland on 27th August check out the '30th Cheviot Challenge' a walk in aid of MOuntain Rescue and through our beloved Cheviots.

The Dirty 30 2011 Virgins - Well done to my daughter Megan, sister Kathleen, brother and sister in law Mark and Avril for completing the 2011 and in a very respectable time and with good grace and humour! Well Done to my husband Alan, friends Mick and Davie who were on a mission to be on the first page of the results and they are! (They've all got long legs) I appreciate the medal but a wee mug would be nice. Finally, i have to say i prefer the Dirty 30 the other way around! Will we be back? None of the family group are saying so yet but Alan, Mick, Davie and i will be. x

Nearly back to normal after another fantastic day! A big thank you to all involved, you made the mental and physical challenge(and pain)worthwhile. A special mention to Dan , the man in the kilt. I chased Dan for nearly 30 miles and finally caught him 5 metres from the door!. Sorry I know it was your birthday Dan but it had been 10 hours of chasing the thistle in the distance in front of me :). The community is a fantastic group of people and we both look forward to seeing you all again next year!

good luck to everyone this year . unable to make it hope someone breaks the five hour mark.

Coming back for more in 2011 and try running for a change. 2010 event was great and the weather was just right but the midges weren't. Our team raised £6500 for St Columba's hospice in Edinburgh last year.

Bit late in getting round to this but just got the email re 2011. WE WILL BE THERE! As our first adventure "race" we loved the easy going attitude & lack of overt competitivness (sp!?). Although we entered as runners an injury forced us to to a bit of both but it was one of the best experiences of the year. Scenery was superb, hills in forest on first 17 miles generated some new swear words on my behalf & the climb on the 2nd half was a bi***....difficult process but I did peg off the top and loved the downhill run. Coo's at the bothy someone said, yup but he/she who moos loudest wins in my opinion. Boos to the mountain rescue folks at the top of the walk from the bothy who tried to tell us we were still 10 miles from the finish & tehn never gave us a ride in their Landie when we passed them on the way to the final checkpoint! Hats off to everyone who was involved, it was fantastic fun & I cannot wait for next year. Its a shame there aren't more of these challanges in Scotland, I think communities could benefit from them more as opposed to the somewhat commercial charity events. As Arnie once said....... I'll (well we) be back! Cheers Kev & Kaz

Work mates and I completed the Lochalsh Dirty 30 Challenge route in June and raised £1,356.00 for our chosen charity. We had a fantastic, fun time and the scenery was fantastic (even saw a sea eagle :-) ).

A big thank you to everyone involved in the organising and running of the event! My second time here and saw a few familiar faces and some new ones. (Hello Mr Sticky!) I guess trying to jog round was a mistake...but still had a great day. Looking forward to next year and hoping the weather is kind to us again. Thanks.

Hi, just wanted to say after our glass of red wine and bowl of chips with David and Katie at the hotel, we had a really good time. Sorry I kept you all back. We will be back next year to better our time......well maybe! left early on Sunday and did not get a chance to say bye to our new friends, have tried on face book to no avail. Anyway thanks again and can I just suggest a "wee" medal would go down well, as after completing a 10k at least you have a wee momento of the occassion and hard work. Albeit the certificate is nice.
