Moray Coastal 50 Ultra
This race is particularly epic scenery-wise! Moray is famous for having some of the best coastline and seafood around. With its wide sandy beaches, dramatic cliffs, coastal formations and attractive fishing villages, it makes for a stunning route for a race. Beginning at the RD’s home town of Forres, you soon reach the coastline at Findhorn, famed for its eco-community. From there, a forest overlooking the sea takes you past where the RD got married (this is how much he loves the area!) all the way to Lossiemouth and its epic clifftops, to Spey Bay where you can search for dolphins, past picturesque former fishing villages, and then finishing in Cullen. Highlights: – Tugnet Ice House and Findhorn Heritage Centre – Attractive villages with beach huts, lighthouses and railway heritage – Burghead Headland Visitor Centre (Pictish fort) – Wildlife including bottlenose dolphins – Sea views over coves, skerries and beaches – Bow Fiddle Rock at Portknockie Race Details: – Date: 13th May 2023 – Time: 7.00am – Cutoff: 16 hours – Entry Limit: 200 runners – Price: £70 Who can take part?

Blackhills Garden Open Day
An oasis of tranquility. HISTORY OF THE GARDEN Blackhills Garden is around 70 acres and, for those interested in geography, is situated between two interconnected glacially-eroded steep valleys. The first valley is a kettle hole and the other valley is known locally as “The Warren” because of its labyrinth of paths akin to a rabbit warren. Two ponds, one a former curling pond known as ‘the old pond’ and a ‘new pond’, make use of the abundant supply of spring water. The physical geography provides a perfect, sheltered micro-climate for some 360 species of rhododendron, creating a dramatic backdrop for this unique, Himalayan-inspired garden. Please note that the garden is closed to the public, and anyone wishing to arrange a visit must contact us in advance, or they will be turned away. The gardens are private, and to maintain the privacy of those staying in our holiday cottages and of family members, we must manage access. Please remember that Blackhills Estate is a private home and working farm and that there is no public parking or facilities. We thank you for your understanding.
