Forest run at Dalby forest today.
Inspite of the weather, heavy snow, Plan B worked perfectly.
Well informed prior to the event and excellently organised on the day.
The course was very enjoyable & marshalls’ were great, offering encouragement & support throughout.
All in all, a great event & thoroughly enjoyable day out.
Please pass on my thanks to all concerned.
