I thought the previous race at Snape Wood was cold and muddy but this one added wind and rain to cold and even more mud, certainly a 'proper' cross country course. The course consist of 1 lap small and I large lap over an undulating course with amazing woods but offering little shelter from the wind and rain: for a forest remarkably lacking in trees.
First team was Lewes AC followed by Hailsham Harriers and Heathfield Road Runners/Uckfield Runners in third place.
