Apparently there were also some other races this week, but strava has been so full of JK runs that I may have missed some? Adam decided that Beaudesert wasn't up to his O standards and disappeared into Swedish Skog, and Andy competed in the Rivington Pike Fell Race where it seems he was more focused on a UFO in the sky than the run? Massive thank you to the clubs involved with planning and organising the JK this year! Extra challenge - spot Will in the group photo. 📸 woodentops.org.uk & Wendy Carlyle |
