The overnight thaw meant water on ice, absolutely treacherous. Those who ran were brave, those who didn't sensible. Nick won for the second year running, even though he struggled on the ice. He was followed by Owen and Simon Bolton.
Jim won the category for overtaking the most runners but was pushed by Mark. They went past me in the wood and I was amazed how sure-footed they both were on the ice.
Sarah was first lady, followed by Diane and Carolyn.
23 of us can now wear the 'I beat Damian' T-shirt.
Christine had a bad fall but is ok.
