Wooler Running Club race report by Nick Baxter
Just back from a great day out at the Dunbar XC. As you will see from the photos, we doubled our attendance from Wooler RC with Saul and Emma joining Tim and myself. As usual at Dunbar we arrived way too early but it was dry and sunny so the wait wasn’t a problem. The start was delayed by 15 minutes because of road works and the course was a two-lap affair due a land slip. Good running conditions though with a combination of grass, sand and hard surfaces under foot. There were fabulous coastal views and the normal happy crowd of runners. Saul and Tim led the way home but for the keen followers of my performances, I’m happy to report that I managed to improve my finishing position from a lowly 181st male to a slightly more creditable 151st. On the way home we gave ourselves a taste of the 70s by calling in at the Cedar Cafe. Once again – no cheese scones! Thanks to Tim and Saul for driving. Next stop is Peebles in December but I’ll not make that one.
