Compass Sport Cup Final, Greenham Common. Great days racing despite long coach journey from Leeds with rest of club. Interesting runing over former USAF air base, which is now returned to common land and micro business. Former runway dug up and mostly used for Newbury Bypass hardcore, now grass and gorse! FOrmer refueling areas now polluted with petroleum have been converted into areas of shale and wetland. Beatifully detailed map, with even tiny gorse clumps showing on it. Slow compared with winner, but only my second Brown course ever and I was pleased with my time overall. Need to work on my pace now though!
