Highland Fling training runs

[justinm]

I hope to enter the 2013 Highland Fling race and then get over to Scotland for a few training runs on the course.

Anyone got any advice in relation to a good 'base', to explore the route from?

Once the trail (/WHW) is picked up, is it easy enough to follow - or will I need to brush up on my map reading skills

Thanks

Hi Justinm

There is several campsites B&b's Hotels Hostels, Along the route. OakTree Inn is on the roue and pretty central and very friendly.

As for The route itself, it is well signposted and is pretty straight forward. Watch the Forum early 2013 for arranged training runs which are very friendly and for all abilities.

Hope this Helps.
