    and i was 7th! it was a proper golf course if I remember rightly but I think it was in march so prob had chance to dry out so theres a chance of worse this time out. Not doing the club sess tmrw but I'll try and find out how its holding up.

    Looking at the weather on TV Leeds seems to be getting hit hard by floods and it could get worse as the week goes on.

    Re: Northerns- Leeds

    panic ye not gentlemen, this event has been organised to the nth degree. Tents, toilets etc. will all be provided.
    The blokes run 3 full laps.

    Quick commentary on the course:

    Start to C to A and back round to C is on a fast flat field which i understand is still in remarkably good condition.
    C-D is a steep downhill, likely to be slippery so take care!
    D-J is undulating parkland - likely to cut up I think so could be a tough section.
    J-K is a steep little climb followed by a left turn and a gradually contouring up.
    K-L-M is undulating parkland
    M-A is a steep climb (the famous Hill 60 which I don't think is actually all that bad as its made out!)
    Then you're back on the flat fast section again. All but the top field is likely to have got somewhat spongy so overall I'm expecting a really good test of fast, flat running, mud, tights turn, climbs and decents. Basically one of the best courses in the country that will produce a worthy winner.

    Sadly I'm a shock withdrawal from the Rochdale team poised to take on Salford, Sale and Alty in Leeds Chaddy. I'm absolutely gutted to be be honest.

    I've lost my race against time to be fit for Saturday but i shall be back for The National.
