Dursley Dozen (12 miles) – February 12th
Ralf Arneil says “The 35th edition of this race held in Dursley. Not much flat running, 2000ft of steep climbs and fast descents. Huge support in the town and on the course, a very good even.” The web site of Charles Whitton Photography (linked from results) has photos of Ralf.

Oxon XC League 3 at Shotover Park – January 5th
Oxford escaped most of the snow that fell in Woodstock, except for a covering on top of Shotover Hill. The water-filled ditch provided fun for the spectators, but not for the runners who fell in!
