Whether you went to the Cumbrian Galoppen event at Wansfell and Skelghyll Woods near Ambleside or the Scottish weekend in the Cairngorms, you could be sure of demanding terrain both physically and technically.
Most BL members went to the Cumbrian Galoppen event, the last one of this years series (final overall results hopefully available soon). Wet underfoot conditions made it especially challenging, with some very long times recorded. Best BL results came from Owain, second on the Green Course.

A smaller contingent went to Scotland – Anagach Woods on Saturday and Birsemore on Sunday. The Brown course at Anagach was an epic 11.4 km long, with a winning time of 75 minutes – maybe better described as Black Plus. Sundays courses were shorter but by then we were all so tired they took just as long. The forests were looking particularly beautiful at this time of year. Thanks to Julie for these photos.
