| Hope they've not sent me round again! |
A bit of a gloomy photo but then it was a gloomy day. Highlight of the cross country season in North Wales is the Rhug Championship event near Corwen. It's a course with a difference because it's run on Lord Newborough's estate and race HQ is the estate farmshop which is famous for its bison meat. There's been a herd of North American bison here for several years and they've become a bit of a tourist attraction in their own right. Meanwhile we are on the opposite side of the road and the very wet course is laid out on rough pasture - no well worn paths to follow here! Two laps for the ladies, four for the men, apart from the older men who just do three - how can they keep count? You might well ask! This race is always in January and staying afterwards for the presentations is a challenge as it's usually freezing - today was no different - but I guess it was worth it. The Harriers won a number of medals including a team silver and an individual silver for yours truly.
Lord Newborough is always up for new ideas for attracting new customers and making more money and he's taught one of his bison to jump up onto a prominent position next to the main road - here it is standing on four wooden pillars with an exhausted runner posing underneath.
