Details
Hope you all enjoyed your run around Crookes. Results and splits are up. Thank you to Maxwell and Kris Groom for planning and all our helper on the night. Hopefully you weren't too delayed by the missing control, a local homowner was unhappy with it's placement and removed it...
Apologies for those out on the long course with an older dibber, these either only take 30 punches or record the time for 30 but then just record the punch for 3 more. If you are missing these they will be added tomorrow.
