It was too much to hope for it seems......

Well I had hoped to start 2023 with a nice comfortable assignment.

But it seems that was a little too much to hope for. The 2023 New Years Day Handicap Cross Country was blessed with a damp start.

Luckily the rain didn't really turn out to be very heavy and the mild morning meant that being out in the fresh air was a good choice after New Years eve!

My return visit to L'Ancresse was for the Guernsey Athletics New Years Day Handicap Cross Country. The format of the race meant that there was no mass start so I concentrated on the finish and it turned out that the handicaps did their work leading to a packed finish of the mid-field.

I've added a new Gallery featuring my pics here:
