Very pleasant warm and dry day (the forecast rain never came) for the first event of the season at Snape Wood near Wadhurst. A very strong turnout of 305 runners in the senior race for the this two lap hilly course, however being early season the recent dry weather the course was dry and fast, unlike some previous years when the event was after Christmas.
