I wonder if the luck will last for the whole of 2024?

Well I wonder if the luck will last for the whole of 2024?

It was certainly a great start!

My only assignment on New Years day was to photograph the Guernsey Athletics Handicapped Cross Country at the L'Ancresse full course. This is always a fun event and it seems to clear body and brain of the festive fog.

The event also shows how hard it is to 'grade' the runners into handicap groups with the ultimate aim to have them all cross the finish line at the same time. There are always a few wildcard entries that beat the system.

But I have to say that, after the 'rogue runners' there was certainly a massed group of finishers and more than a few competitive sprints to the line. This New Year race really brings out the smiles from runners who don't usually feature high up the list.

As for the afore mentioned good luck. Well you will see from my photos that we all enjoyed a nice bright... and DRY morning. Then later on the heavens opened in biblical style.

Fingers crossed we can repeat the good luck many times during the year.
