Another cold but bright and sunny day but with a fairly mean northly wind. This event is an undulating course over what is actaully Heathland, in spite of the name not many trees so not much shelter from the wind but plenty of good quality mud. Everyone seemed to go for the optional extra 1 mile to make it a 6 mile course, why not get your monies worth.
