Summary

Run in fairly dry conditions except for a big boggy patch in the woods which Julia somehow managed to fall into. Good turnout from the ladies and men, especially given the competing attractions of Christmas shopping, and not even any points at stake. A fast, mostly flat course which doesn’t suit everyone with just one nasty down & uphill. Key achievements were

- Ladies – 2^nd Team

- Men – 13^th Team

- Julie Garner – won W45 category
