In short: It snowed it was cold and it was muddy - I loved it!
In full: A shortened and changed course to normal with a few top runners taking the wrong turn - didn't go down too well with them. 2 laps of a very tough course not helped in trail shoes - I've bought some off road shoes for next year, I'll definitely be back next year it was a great experience.

In short: mud glorious mud!!
In full: This was my first cross country and I have to say it left me wanting more!! I got lost on the way and just made it to the back of the group as the horn went, so had a nice warm up running to the start. Didn’t know the course had changed so was a shock going up that mildly leg burning hill TWICE! All in all it was a good race that was very muddy and wet, but thoroughly enjoyable and would recommend to anyone doing a cross country for the first time :)

In short: Changed route for 08 - interesting conditions !
In full: (I have to declare an interest as a Skyrac member...)It was definitely an interesting challenge today, lots of standing water and thick mud, a tricky little b'r of a hill to go up twice and treachorous footing - but I did enjoy it in a masochistic way :) Looking forward to my bottle of beer now - glug.

In short: a good muddy start to Easter Sunday, enjoyed it
In full: Re-routed on day due to settled snow, meaning 2 laps of the woods instead of picturesque river crossings, canal towpath and Esholt village. The rapidly thawing white-stuff meant oodles of water and mud underfoot, more cross-country than trail -- still, we did get to do the vertical woodland section twice rather than once :) The bottle of beer looks a good prospect for later.

In short: some top runner, muddy muddy and fun
In full: My second race for years will do it again if i get chance, had great fun, just started running seriosly again. The people and venue good, bring ur wellys. A fun race mud all over, well worth it, a massive start. could do with starting in the open field instead of the walk way. Spred every 1 out, will do it agian never done a trail before, mint race and a free beer sets the sunday sesh off very well.
