On Sunday the club turned out for round one of the Oxford Mail cross-country league at Ascott-under-Wychwood. Liz, Lizzie, Ben, Matthew, and John all took part despite gale force winds and driving rain as we arrived at the course.
The Oxford University Press tent was an early casualty - it threatened to take off during the women's race and the guys had to weight it down with stones. Luckily the weather calmed down a bit after that and the rest of us made it through the day unscathed.
