Good weather for one thing, I suppose, and even that was much better than the weather girls had been telling us that it would be. There were some very good times for the courses, thanks presumably for the very fast running possible through the Watergate section, but soon (in about 3 years, I think) we'll be allowed to cross the fences into the new plantations, and that should slow you down a bit! Thank you for a good turnout, and also for the (largely) pleasant comments about the courses, map, and the area. I suppose we should also thank the Government (I can't remember which one) for axing the A692 road improvement scheme, because otherwise the long thin brown bit running across the map would have been full of busy traffic on its way to Sunniside and beyond, and probably making the area unviable for us. One person I should definitely thank, though, is Melanie Bowdon of Gatehead's Countryside Team for her support and co-operation in the mapping project and the staging of the event. I hope to see many of you again at Black Banks on March 2nd, details of which are on the new, improved NN Website.
