This race was the resurrection of an excellent Club Championships staged by Mike Nolan, Simon Patton & Richard Patton. Judging by comments from the runners, the vegetation would appear to be more manageable in November than July - Sorry about that! There were some changes in the usual suspects taking part in this one; as I’d hoped with a different sort of a course. It would appear there were quite a lot of navigational issues, in between bouts of bracken bashing. Most reports concluded they’d made a hash of some bits of the course. There was also at least one report of a missed control by someone who chose not to submit a time at all.
