Important information from Clive ahead of XC at Parc Bryn Bach, Sun. 10th Jan.

"I walked the course today in the direction we intend to run it and found no problems as far as the layout is concerned. It was hammering down with rain and it was very soft underfoot! but with the change of direction we will be running up and not down the slippery sections so should prove safer! I think the course under the conditions we are experiencing at the moment is still runnable but will come as a stiff challenge to the less experienced club runners so I wondered if you could stress to your club the need for suitable foot wear to be worn, Studs are ideal Spikes are a bit flimsy and lack support! Road shoes would be completely unsuitable!
