| Before the start |
Twelve of the Run England group headed off to Lyme Park for the annual John O'Goats charity orienteering event. Luckily the weather was kind - almost perfect conditions although underfoot was 'a bit muddy'. Several group members had all their new gear on (Christmas presents) so we were well turned out with trail shoes, new leggings, jackets, belts etc.
We split up into 4 groups that did the novice course, 3 groups that did the 'short' course and Neil did the 'Medium' course on his own.
Novice Course
Alison & Louise (29 mins - 8th & 9th)
Heather A, Heather C & Wendy B (25 mis, 13th)
Phil & Bev (34mins, 12th - not sure what happened to Phil!)
Oliver G (22mins - may have missed acontrol?)
Short Course
Sarah & Catherine (97mins , 18th)
Jenny & Gemma (64 mins - did not complete the course)
Nicky & Dave(75 mins, 15th)
Medium Course
Neil (61mins, 4th)
The full results are posted on the results section of the MDOC website
We met for coffee/cake etc afterwards and everyone seemed to have enjoyed this new challenge (in different ways) - everyone was muddy (but that is lucky as the mud is our friend). There was a lot of discussion about running on rough terrain on steeper ground - very different from what we have done in the past!
Next week back to a 'normal group run'.,
The course organisers passed on their thanks to us for coming along and I have passed our thanks to them for hosting a friendly event.

ps Apologies to Nicky and Dave as I don't have a photo with them on - sorry
