Mendip Muddle (From Vanessa)

There were so many Harriers I sort of lost count - apologies if I got any of this wrong, I wasn’t taking notes and the results aren’t up yet!

Martin led the field home in 3rd place followed by Steve Caldwell in 4th overall, they both got prizes. May I add the prizes are always imaginative, I believe they got tickets to Wookey Hole and a round of golf respectively.

Matthew Stott next, then Mr Lawson, then Steve Harris.

After Steve H came Andy Blackmore and Andy Stott who seemed to have had a good battle for the finish with Andy B catching Andy S a few 100 yds before the line. Nick Battersby came in next 2 weeks or so after his marathon.

Bill Savage next, then Ian Wade. Gerry Ashton next, then Colin Prosser (I think), Geoff Bayliss, Steve Hill (or was Steve before Geoff? I am really not sure…), Dave Andrews and Philip Scriven. Sorry guys, there were so many of you I should have brought a notebook! Feel free to correct me where errors have been made!

Of the girls, Niki had a great run in a great time despite tough conditions, followed by Sue A (2nd in her age group - wine and chocolates - on her birthday!) and Esther. Then came Gill Stott (also got a prize) while Berna and Jane Bayliss came in together.

Times were slower than in the past, the winner was a long way off the course record. I am told the conditions were tough underfoot and the heat did not help. Reuben kept commenting that ‘they have been swimming’ when the runners came past us just before the line. It was good for spectating and cheering at the finish though. And the cakes and bacon rolls were excellent as usual.

Thanks Vanessa for the write up - taken from the BB - see there for more comments.
