After the manicured lawns of Wootton it was back to proper cross-country terrain for the Leighton Fun Runners event at Wing.
The field is specially prepared beforehand with hundreds of fresh wet cowpats and the stream crossing (twice) nicely churned up to ensure maximum mud coverage.
29 of us ran with good support who had gathered by the bog hoping to see some belly flops into the water.
Jon Panter came home the muddiest after a facial mudpack and James Smith learnt that trainers need tying extra tight as he lost one in the bog and had to go fishing to retrieve it . He found one but is not sure it is the right one.
Great fun was had by all. X-C debutants Carrick Baldwin and Richard Gent ran well as did everyone.
The LFR cake display was excellent and muddy hands just added to the taste.
The aroma of cowshit, bog and sweat that filled the bus on the trip back should be gone by about March.
Congratulations to all who ran, next event is 15th Dec at Guilsborough.
