A great turn out last weekend at Conic Hill race above Loch Lomond for the fledgling hill running club from Highland Perthshire. Some good times and the weather was great and a good turn out over 130 runners

a race well run

. Herbie Maclean was 3rd over 60 and Pete Waugh got a respectable time for his first hill race. Iona gets the prize for the biggest smile running down hill.

Whether walking, or even hill running, many people are discovering the benefits of using walking poles. Briefly, the main advantages are threefold:

• Firstly they help to maintain balance  and support when walking on rough or uneven ground .

• Secondly , used correctly, poles can increase your walking speed .

• Thirdly using poles can reduce the stress  placed on various joints of the body – particularly the knees – enabling  you to walk for longer with less effort.

These benefits are available to all walkers, regardless  of fitness or experience.

Choosing a pole

We have a selection of walking  poles made by Leki – one of the leading manufacturers in the world. Lightweight, strong and carrying a guarantee against pole breakage, Leki are  an ideal choice.

Leki Trail – £49.99 / pair

Leki Jasper Anti-shock – WAS £74.99 now £54.99

Leki Carbonlite – WAS £119.99 now £89.99

Poles are also available for hire at £10 per pair per day – and should you decide to purchase  a full price pair your hire charge will be deducted.

With milder weather heralding the approach of Spring , why not consider the many and varied cycle routes to and from Killin ? An ideal day out , be it a family fun ride  or something more strenuous , is the section of the Route 7 cycle path between Callander and Killin . Following the disused railway line  there are some spectacular views to be  had- especially from the Glen Ogle Viaducts . Mainly traffic -free , cyclists of all ages and abilities can have an enjoyable  day out !        

We do , of course , hire out bikes and also stock a wide range of  clothing  and accessories from brands such as Shimano, Endura , Montane and Madison .

With spring rapidly approaching why not improve your fitness whilst exploring the countryside. We have further reduced the price of our ladies ex-hire mountain bikes – RRP £550 – were £350 – NOW £299
