Everyone counts literally!!
To have a team you need to have enough people to go the extra mile…or to be precise 5 for the ladies and 7.5 for the men!
A biting cold day and a couple of inches of snow greeted our intrepid teams.
Another excellent XC course was laid on with rolling hills and a two mile loop of mud, mud and more…Six inches deep : Not for the faint hearted and with four to count for the ladies and six for the men, we had simply no margin for error…We had four ladies and six men…Everyone had to count ! We had the benefit of Sharon Jones and Paul Sanders to support…Most welcome and thank you.
