Border Reivers (Scottish English Border) Run Sunday 17 September 2017

Post by Pbondar » Mon May 22, 2017 2:38 pm

Following on from runs to 'Dumfries and Galloway' and 'Scottish Borders' and after discussing with Craig3.2, I'm pleased to say we are adding the third element of this Scottish trilogy.

The Border Reivers run will start in a Scottish Border town on an approximately 225 mile route heading south west across the Border, following Hadrian's Wall then in a large orbit through the English Scottish Borders finishing back to said same town.

It doesn't use any of the roads used on the previous two runs.

Expressions of interest welcome..joining details will be sent out a week before. Looking for an 09:00 departure and return around 17:00.

For interest Border Reivers were raiders along the Anglo-Scottish border from the late 13th century to the beginning of the 17th century. Their ranks consisted of both Scottish and English families, and they raided the entire Border country without regard to their victims' nationality. When raiding, or riding, as it was termed, the reivers rode light on hardy nags or ponies renowned for the ability to pick their way over the boggy moss lands, as soldiers, the Border reivers were considered among the finest light cavalry in all of Europe.

Not sure whether a Z4 meets the criterion, you will have to decide if you qualify as a reiver!

Any questions..pls ask..

Looking forward to seeing you and the M....
