Details
Always like a nice bit of snow on a sprint...
Hope you managed to dodge the snow flakes this evening. Big thank you to Matt Morris and the rest of the family for planning (Richard commented after checking them that the controls were particularly well hung), Kim and family Baxter for organising and 'Hop-a-long' Kris for manfully manning the results.
Results and splits are on the links above.
