When is a path not a path? When you see a car parked on it and assume it's a road!
Apart from a slight discussion over the existence - or not - of paths, most runners seemed to navigate their way successfully around this new area.
Planning the courses in an area unfamiliar to me was an enjoyable way to explore the town, and I wanted to utilise the many footpaths alongside the river. I hadn't quite anticipated that they would be completely unlit, but the course choices meant that lit routes could be chosen if necessary.
The extremely helpful Witham Leisure Centre deserve a big credit for their contribution to what seems to have been a successful event. They were happy for us to use their light, warmth, tables and toilets on what was a very chilly evening! At least runners with frozen fingers could defrost during the animated discussion that seemed to be taking place upon return.
I should like to thank all the competitors for taking part, and a big thank you to Chris Childs for his help at registration.
