Race 2 saw Wessex achieve a team result at one of the more enjoyable routes in the series. Lots of fairly benign undulating tracks which criss crossed over bridges and railway lines, in a race starting a road across from Roundhill campsite close to Brockenhurst. Some chunky puddles and muddy sections added some of theContinue reading “CC6 race 2, Roundhill campsite, New Forest, 24/25”

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 spentContinue reading “CC6 Ocknell Campsite, Race 1 (22/23)”
CC6 Roundhill (2)
90% of life is showing up and by that definition, Wessex Road Runners were 270% successful at the most recent CC6. It was back to the New Forest and back to Roundhill Campsite for the second race at this site. It was an excellent venue and using campsites for Winter race parking is clearly theContinue reading “CC6 Roundhill (2)”
CC6 Holmsley
New cross country venue in the New Forest Perhaps keen to work off the many mince pies consumed over Christmas, six Wessex runners eagerly attended this new venue at Holmsey campsite. Richard, Doug, Phil, Nigel, Derek and Mike braved the cold conditions but were treated to some sporadic bright sunshine in the first race ofContinue reading “CC6 Holmsley”
CC6 Roundhill (2021)

There seemed to be numerous other races on today (London marathon, Clarendon marathon, Basingstoke Half etc) and with a fuel crisis in full flow I anticipated a smaller turnout thanContinue reading “CC6 Roundhill (2021)”
RR10 Cadland (2021)
Penultimate RR10 of 2021 Race number four took place in the New Forest at Blackfield. Start and the finish location was at a sports field with a one lap course out into a lovely mix of heathland and tree lined trail with the Fawley chimney close by and the hum of some power lines overhead.Continue reading “RR10 Cadland (2021)”
CC6 Wilverley (2020)
Final CC6 of the 2019/20 Season With the previous CC6 race cancelled twice, due to bad weather, I suspect everyone was looking at their emails waiting to see if this race was on or off. Fortunately a few days of (slightly) drier weather leading up to the event meant it would go ahead. However onContinue reading “CC6 Wilverley (2020)”
