Event: November Classic
 

November Classic: Busketts Lawn
was looking forward to running in the New Forest again after 27 years, taking the straight route through the trees, and it was a pleasure for the most part ...

no mistakes, but lost 15 secs or more at every other control, with hesitation in the circle (if you're going to walk anywhere, do it in the circle), physically I lasted the distance and finished 11th, 17mins behind Geoff Ellis and 14 behind Andy Munro.

C • Running up or down 2

The results for the Saxon's regional event have finally been lodged with BOF and the rankings up-dated ... and finally I make into the top 50 (M40)! Now I have to hold onto that position at the November Classic.

(I had a better run at Carsington Pastures, but scored 60 points less. Go figure.)

C • Congratulations. Top 40 nex... 5
