Thankyou to everyone who took part: helpers, officials, tech gurus, photographers and riders without all of you there would be no Scottish Icelandic Open.
Alongside our sponsors we receive a kind grant of £500 from the IHSGB so if you are not already a member please consider it as this is where some of the membership fees go.
The shoppy is still open for all your branded clothing requirements with profits going back into the event.

Hi all safe travels and see you soon!
I've attached a wee note regarding biosecurity.
I know you are all really careful, however we have hand gel and wipes available as well as a disinfectant spray for stables if anyone wishes to use it.
All being well with the A9 and travel, I will hopefully be at Netherton for around 3pm.
