Hi everybody, keeping warm and safe?
Strange weather, Saturday beautiful clear crisp morning, a bit chilly and then Sunday morning, wet yet again.
CROSS COUNTRY
Good weather continues for cross country running. Last week there were 34 out running, some on a wet Saturday
but most on a calm Sunday. There were a few new faces (names) to this “ run your own “ cross country.
The actual cross country season would come to an end in the beginning of August. Therefore a few weekends have been
added to this, plus a “run your own” cross country challenge on 1st and 2nd August. Details to follow shortly.
