We lined up with the 345 other hopefulls on a wet and cold morning.with Nazir Hussain(spen) getting to the front hoping to get some advantage over vet runner Steven Moss. The course proved to be very wet and boggy Nazir's advantage soon faded away and some runners were soon fumbling round for lost shoes. The course weht across a moorland top were the runners were spinning off in three diffrent directions trying to gain some advantage in the deep thick heather. Towards the end there were some deep river crossings where Steven Moss flounderd up to his waist in some vere cold and boggy mud but managed to come home first with Steve Hemingway coming in a good second place (after having a bad chrismass suffering the dreded lurgie and looseing a stone in weight),
