British Sprint and Middle Distance Championships
British Sprint and Middle Distance Championships - 1st and 2nd September 2018
The Sprint Championships (results here) was held at Bath University Claverton Down Campus. The campus is on a slope and its central building had two accessible levels with a service level below the main terrace. Notes were provided in advance to explain(!) how this had been mapped - they're still online and worth a read. The Heats and Finals finished on a sports track overlooked by the Assembly building balcony.

Middle Distance:
The Middle Distance Championships event took place at Stockhill Woods, SW of Bath. Stockhill has a history of lead mining so the wood was full of pits, depressions and gullies. The last controls were in a field, visible from assembly, and later competitors had a choice of elephant tracks to follow through the rough.
W65 - 3.3km 80m (36:53)
Heather Smithard 13/29 52:58
M65 - 4.2km 120m (37:43)
Les Smithard 47/57 77:59
