Very cold and quite windy. Eastbourne is mostly flat but like most seafront courses the seafront is not quite long enough so you have to climb halfway to Beachy head from about 2 mile to 3.5 mile which does make the course a bit slower than Brighton. Five ran from Uckfield: Graham West 1hr 40.52, Stuart Brown 1hr 45.10, Chris Tatnall 1hr 49.02, Jo Nash 1hr 57.08, Peter Wilkes 1hr 57.59.
A bit further afield Ray Edmondson completed the Ostend to Brugges 10 mile run in 1hr 44 in Belgium. This is an end to end run, the runners are bused from Brugges to the start in Ostend to then run back to Brugges.
