Catherine and I did the Belvoir Challenge in the UK last Saturday; a 15 mile trail race across field paths, woodland trails etc. It is a splendid event; postcard villages, wonderful views, friendly company etc.
It is not so much a race as an event where you plod along enjoying it since there are so many fences, stiles, ditches etc to cross, as well as an escarpment to climb, that times are meaningless. At minus 2C it was cold at the start but on the high plateau the wind chill was enough to kill sheep! At least the wind had dried the land to pasty mud rather than liquid stuff so underfoot was alright.
