A select Wilmslow team of festive survivors enjoyed a nice trail run along the Middlewood Way and Macclesfield Canal. The race HQ was the Miners Arms which provided welcome shelter from the biting wind before the race and even more welcome bacon butties after. This was a "guess your time" charity fundraiser for the Seashell Trust. It was a double for team Downs but our guesses were hopelessly optimistic.
