Organiser's comments
Today's event had been arranged and put on at short notice as unfortunately our scheduled event at Lympstone was cancelled. It may seem to some that we return to Knightshayes quite often, and some of you may feel you know many of the likely controls sites. However the events we do hold there around this time of year are usually blessed with good weather and a good turn out so obviously you do like to come here to run or walk the courses. It is a beautiful setting creating a relaxed atmosphere and today was just that.
We must thank the team at National Trust for working closely with us to deal with our application and issue of a licence in a much shorter time than usual and welcoming once again.

Thanks to Steve Perrelle for planning
