where did the course go at Alton Towers? on any rides?

thought about coming down, but much more fun to run up mountains in scotland in the glorious sunshine all weekend! and do a wee duathlon too.
well done to all though

FVO's Hazel Dean won a medal with third team in the womens race!

Hazel went on to win the national night orienteering championships on Saturday evening. Meanwhile at the other end of the country, or in a different country, Ekaterina Orekhova won the national night orienteering championships. Congratulations to both, and to the men's winners, Scott Fraser and Nick Barrable.

So, it's Night-race congrats to the Scot, the American, and the two members of Lothian Running Club then.
