RR10 #3 River Hamble Country Park (2023)
Race three of this year’s RR10 was at the River Hamble Country Park, a familiar location on the RR10 calendar and indeed we are back later in the Summer for race number seven. It was a lovely sunny evening and a few dry days beforehand boded well for a fast course with little mud. Chris…
RR10 – Itchen Valley Race #2 (2023)
Race number 2 was back to the familiar setting of Itchen Valley country park. And with thankfully no traffic related mishaps 6 runners safely lined up at the starting line. The only potential hitch was a very stubborn parking machine which refused point blank to take any form of payment, but with plenty of time…
RR10 Fleming Park (2023)
The first race of this year’s RR10 was at Fleming Park. An excellent turn out from Wessex with two new runners (welcome to Andrew and Chris), it could have been even better if it wasn’t for the parking. Poor Phil got stuck in traffic with queues to get into the car par extensive, meaning he…
CC6 Holmsley Campsite (22/23) Race 4
The fourth race of this year’s CC6 was at Holmsley campsite, near Burley, in the New Forest. We just about scraped a team together and four Wessex runners arrived to race. Weather conditions were good, a little chilly, mostly dry and minimal wind. The start line was a few minutes walk from the car park.…
CC6 Itchen Valley Country Park, 22/23 Race 2
Everyone loves an extra loop! This was a great course, as it usually is at Itchen Valley, which had a bit of everything route wise including some confusion at the start as most of the field ran an extra lap of a section. Muddy and hilly in places but was mostly ran on solid woodland…
CC6 Ocknell Campsite, Race 1 (22/23)
The first race of the 2022/23 CC6 was at Ocknell, in the New Forest. It was a cracking day, with the Forest looking splendid, some autumnal changes in the leaves and clear skies. Unfortunately I saw a bit too much it. Foolishly I relied on my phone’s Sat Nav to get me there and spent…
RR10 – IBM Hursley
Last race of Summer With covid not rearing it’s ugly head all of the 2022 fixtures went ahead as planned and the turnout for the last race was a big crowd. A magnificent seven club runners turned up with Nigel, Katie, David, Dave, Phil, Mike and Richard all running with Derek proving moral support. The…
RR10 Whiteshute Ridge, Badger Farm (2022)
After the flat, open spaces at the previous RR10 (Wide Lane) this race was a different kettle of fish. Runners, some tents and flags were packed onto Whiteshute Ridge (Badger Farm, Winchester) for the penultimate RR10 of the season. It seemed more like a budget Glastonbury than a trail race, with not enough room to…
RR10 University Playing Fields, Wide Lane (2022)
Race 8 of this year’s RR10 took part at Wide Lane. Following record UK temperatures on the previous two days, Wessex runners were pleased to see a slightly cooler and cloudy evening was forecast. Five runners were scheduled to attend so another team result was on the cards. There was another good turnout from other…
RR10 River Hamble
Race 7 of the RR10 series took place at Hamble county park for the second time this season This tough route was the same in parts but was as always a difficult one to crack pacing wise. Phil, Nigel, Doug and Richard made up the runners (just 1 short of a team) with supporters Peter…
