    Last year this was my first cross country race in decades:eek:. Its a very good race for anyone who has'nt done xc before as the course isn't too demanding so it won't frighten you off xc for life.
    Can't do it this year due to it clashing with the novice xc but I'd recommend anyone to give it a go.

    ^ What he said, definitely a nice introduction to XC races.

    Can't do it myself this year either because of the novice the next day, but might head along with the camera.

    Yep I'd agree too its a very good race, nice course and fast too, not too hard a route but not too easy either.
