The great Alton Towers race is talked about at our club in legendary tones every year the XC comes round though.

Parliament Hill is a goodun'.... and Wollatton earlier this year was probably the toughest XC course i've ran over.

We've got a course down here in the Birmingham League at Leamington Spa that for XC is quite hilly. One adverse-camber downhill about 50 metres long, even that was throwing people out... as anyone on here who's raced me will testify, i'm no crack-descender, but even that tricky downhill i could make up 10 places with ease... there were people who finish well up from me (so presumably they can run 5km in around 17mins) having to walk the main uphill...

Hopefully we get some XC this year!

A little taste of the 2016 Northern at Witton I was on about
