Steve Nash wins X-Scotia 09
For the second year running, Steve Nash has won the X-Scotia hike & fly adventure race aboard his Nova Ibex.
The event took place over the weekend of 30 – 31 May. Starting at Lochearnhead, the competitors had to round three turnpoints on the mountain summits of Meall nan Tarmachan (1043m), Ben More (1174m) and Ben Vorlich (985m) before racing back to the finish line at Lochearnhead. Nova team pilot Steve Nash successfully defended the X-Scotia title that he won last year, this time with the slightly larger Nova Ibex 17. After a close run race, he won the event in a time of 13 hours 41 minutes. Steve’s fly to run ratio was greater than in 2008, flying 21 km and running 65 km. Steve wins a one-week holiday at Les Basse Beaumettes in the South of France.
