I second that!:thumbup:

You are right of course socks, though in my defence I just displayed sheep-like behaviour and followed all the 25+ runners who were ahead of me at that time!
**For others reading this thread the 'cut across the field' was all on PROW's so no breaking of the country code was involved!
Thanks guys, appreciate your replies and advice.
Looking forward to it.
