Stanbury Splash:- results. Loads of snow up on’t moors. Not the usual course, but a less icy alternative, and unless you had to break the trail, justifiable bad weather running, just one part with glassy ice that needed care. Considering the obvious serious conditions, setting off in vest and shorts, with no spare kit, is needlessly asking for trouble should anything go wrong. Rachel made up the ranks, happily clutching her box of chocoates at the prize giving.
Full credit to the organiser for ensuring a race took place, and a good one at that.
