Peter G Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Just a note to say the forecast looks rather good for our Nats this weekend. If it holds up like that Bishop Hill can be pretty epic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering switching to the same place as Abbo. yes looks a nice little place the country inn......what directions does the bishops hill handle?i know it,s west facing ....but what about a little south or north etc.question for one of the local lads really.also any pilots list out yet?

Peter G Posted August 29, 2013 Author Share Posted August 29, 2013 No pilots list yet Mark but we should have 12-15 entries. Bit of a blow tonight, the farmer says he is busy with sheep all weekend (fnar) so we will have to walk up the front. The good news is its shorter; 0.88 mi as opposed to 1.37 mi, the bad news is its pretty steep for about 20-25mins. However, its not a race to get up the hill so we can take our time. Best to park near the top of Bruce Road / Bishop Terrace, Kinnesswood, there is a car park at the side road on your left if you are feeling polite and I have added the walk to our map. https://maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms?msid=202487703003799439093.0004c006fc0ba12dcacd8&msa=0&ll=56.220069,-3.316412&spn=0.017228,0.039439 Forecast still very good, wind calmed down a bit which is probably a good thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark, as you say Bishop is more-or-less west facing but works fine when there is a little south in it. There seems to be some straightening effect when the wind is cocked off a little. I suspect that when the air mass flows over Loch Leven it has to go straight up to get over the big hill in the way !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark_r Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Yes, we've all been knackered by the bishop - legs like jelly! Good day otherwise though - epic conditions at times! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumbey Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Do you know who the condenders are for the top places so far Mark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark_r Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Think Peter might get some scores out later, but every round has been won by mid/low 30s, with quite a few fliers taking different rounds. Chuffed myself with breaking 30s again too! Mike Mc also getting close with a 31 something, but many other low 30s too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter G Posted August 31, 2013 Author Share Posted August 31, 2013 So the scores on the doors are: 1 Mark Redsell 11836.71 2 Paul Upton 10991.73 3 Tom Foreman 10787.87 4 Mark Abbotts 10718.98 5 Peter Gunning 10552.65 6 Mike McCracke 10119.48 7 David Watson 9658.41 8 George Young 9582.91 9 Ewan Maxwell 9434.47 10 Robert Carson 9088.62 11 David Reid 6489.15 Mark as dominant as the scores suggest with the vast majority sub 35, one 29.36 and a 30.11. Paul going very steady a couple of 33's in there, Tom is having a blinder with a 33 and Mark is on his heels with a best of 34 so far. My first two turns of the comp were flicks and the second lead to the death of my FS3 (it will fix) but playing catch up. Mike going OK with a new PB of 31.42. Forecast good for tomorrow, some of us will need another 13 rounds to make a difference but here goes! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
