NIGHT TIME TRAIL RESULTS

An intimate evening for all 16 runners who made it thru' the snow to get to the Stag last night for 6 miles of headtorch disciplinary action!!! Whilst the turnout was less than the organisers expected, the attendance was of the highest calibre. Every entrant stayed for a drink and a meal. The landlord was impressed! The spot prize (the Mercedes E320CDI, v low mileage ) went to entrant 17. As there were only 16 entrants, the prize went unclaimed!!!

the results-

1 Greg Deacon The B Team 43.00
2 Nick Laughton GFDR 47.30
