North East Harrier League #5

11th February 2033 Thornley Hall Farm, Peterlee.

On what was a glorious February day the cross country season got back underway at Thornley Hall Farm. Some would say this is one of the tougher courses in the series.

However fortunately ,no lost spikes due to a lack of mud. It’s always good watching the early entertainment as Gary (Sofia) Laura (Millie)and Mary put the tent up thank you very much.

Yet again the Elswick juniors putting their training to good use, in what is a very busy time for racing, with the help of supportive parents, grandparents and coaches.

In some races the Elswick juniors seemed to dominate the start especially the under 15 girls and under 13 boys. As always we have to thank the marshals and officials first on the course last to leave.
