It was a glorious September day and the going was exceptionally good underfoot despite some overnight rain
While the runners were on the first lap a decision was taken the shorten the course to three laps as runners
had expressed the opinion in previous years that four laps was too onerous.
The conditions were thought to be the best ever and certainly not the usual mud bath down by the river. 
The big gate halfway down the hill was opened as the stile was ruinous, and the farmer tied up his loose dogs
in the farmyard. All was very amicable and passed off very smoothly, and there were plenty of hands to set up
and take down the course. The presentation took place in the café in the Leisure Centre, which was opened
especially for the occasion. The facilities in the Baths were as exceptional as usual.
