Cross-Country complete with a splash about in a stream......

The weather turned up in all its wintry glory for the Guernsey Athletics Cross-Country Championships.

Runners were given the full challenge of the elements combined with a course that ticked most of the 'off-road' boxes.

The track was laid out using all the slopes and terrain that Rocquettes Cider Farm could offer. Even a dip into a steam at the bottom of the valley!

The rain, thunder and lightening made things a bit more interesting and the dark cloud cover challenged this photographer too.

But ultimately I really enjoyed photographing the event and surprisingly there were even smiles on the athletes faces!

I've added a Senior and Junior gallery featuring some of the competitors:
