SYO's 50th Birthday weekend.
Big Moor on Saturday: Blue - Quentin Harding 1st and 1st M60. Green - Ruth Ker 7th and 1st W55.
Wharncliffe on Sunday: Short Blue - John Birtwistle 12th and 6th M65 and Andy Bowes 17th. Short Green - Susan Birtwistle 31st and 10th W65. Blue - Quentin 1st and 1st M60. Green - Ruth 1st and 1st W55.
Both days were physically very challenging so all those who competed are now undoubtedly fitter and tougher. Quentin appreciates their efforts to be peaking in time for the CCT heat in two weekends time.
Ruth and Quentin are chuffed with their towels (awarded to cumulative winners) and Ruth is delighted that the leg taken out of the Green course at Wharncliffe (due to a control missed out on the loose descriptions) was also the one she made a mess of :)
The glorious sunshine made a nice change. The cafe serving soup as well as tea and cake was much appreciated. Thank you to SYO.
Thanks to Ruth and Quentin for the report
