Many thanks to all for turning out for the final run of the season. I tried to provide a challenging ”Head to Head• race and to use the variety of terrain at Ponteland. It was also interesting to watch the errors brought on by pressure at both the start and the final controls. Hopefully this will stand people in good stead for the JK and British relays.
Congratulations to Nicola who was first back to win the handicap prize (and my apologies for forgetting to put it in the car — where it now resides!). The winners of this year‘s series are:
