All age groups from under 15s upwards started together at Crossags Farm in the third round of the Microgaming Cross Country League (photos of these races by Barry Moore)

With one lappers joining in too there were some big groups near the start

Finishing positions. Lloyd Taggart, Andy Barron, Ed Gumbley and Alan Corlett finished in the top four places

Some of the action from the junior races too  – Murray’s photos
