Plenty of weather for this one, fog, rain and wind, good thing was the wind was behind us coming back up the hill.  I have always thought of this as one of the not so muddy courses being on chalkland which is freer draining thas the weald clay courses, but today there was some pretty good quality mud on this one.

There are a couple of changes this year:

1) for veterens there are now 5 year categories (awards for first 3 in each category) rather than 10 year.  For ladies from 35 and for men from 40.  Addtional categories have been added of ladied over 65 and Men over 70 to reflect the greater interest in runners in these cateogories.  As with seniors this is based on the best 4 events

2) for juniors each race will have a 1 lap 1 to 1.25 mile event for U11 and U13 whilst U15 and U17 will run 2 laps.  As in last year awards will be given for each age bracket boys and girls based on best 4 events.

Stunning location for this new event.  Had a bit of everything, gravel tracks, mud paths, lakes, steep hills up and down, woodland and Gibraltor Tower.  I thought on the second lap after the long up hill that the final mile would be a gentle descent to the finish, then we turned right down a steep hill, and what goes down must go up, bit of a killer hill at the end.  A great course.  Our thanks go to Dominic and his family for allowing us to put on this event in such a great location.
