The 22nd Scottish 6-day event is being held in Strathearn, between the 28th July and 3rd August 2019. The Strathearn area of Perthshire runs along the Highland Boundary Fault, and bridges the glens, lochs and mountains of the Highlands with the rich farmland and towns of the Lowlands to the south. This was originally one of Scotland's ancient Celtic Earldoms, home to the Earl of Strathearn, a title which expired in the middle of last century only to be recently revived when the Queen bestowed the titles of Earl and Countess of Strathearn on Prince William and Kate Middleton.

Before moving unto the Day 5 report a quick note on yesterday’s results. Control 133 was vandalised by “pesky kids” so some competitors were re-instated and others will have seen their times improve.

Competitors enjoying today’s terrific area and scenic arena were largely unaware of yet another Plan B.  Earlier in the week we discovered that the corner of the race arena field was ankle deep in slurry – even our staging boards would have been hard pushed to bridge this.  Many thanks go to Angus McNicol at Invercauld Estates and farmer Neil Fraser who allowed us to move into the adjacent field, as well as moving the cattle towards the Invercauld Arms.  They (the cattle) seemed totally relaxed and chilled about the event. Essentially we did a complete mirror of the existing arena layout.  Courses were always going to have a remote finish above the arena, so no changes to maps were needed.

In best Scottish 6 Days tradition the middle of the week counts as a “rest” day so of course many competitors scattered across the area to sight-see, mountain bike, golf, Munro bag  (Loch Muick and Lochnagar will have been busy) and much more.

This was probably the first orienteering day incorporating a World Ranking Event where knitted aliens were presented to the winners. The Scottish Junior Orienteering Squad (ScotJOS) is looking at various fundraising initiatives including aliens. The Gristwood household (Graham and Fanni  Gyurko) as winners of the Men’s and Women’s Elite will no doubt be delighted with these new additions.
