You were there, Merry??!
I was marshalling the junior races, but the ones that went through the stream and up the hill. (U12 / U14 /U18).
Then did the Senior race.
Enjoyed it and beat my previous time well. It's a real lung buster of a race, but TOO SHORT... had to run home (dragging the dog along) to make it worthwhile.
The fete and race reminds me of an episode of All Creatures Great and Small from the seventies.
Don't tell me it was before your time!
