Pett is a mix of field and woodland on an undulating course. With recent rain 'bit soggy' in places and especially muddy in the woodland parts. It was a fairly cold but bright day. It was a very competitive race with the Uckfield/Heathfeild team finishing 6th out of the ten teams (but just 10 point behind fourth place). However we are still third in the league. The next race is Ashdown Forest on 1 February and we will need a strong turnout to protect that third place. Running from Uckfield were, Graeme Hall, Lee Adams, Lee Siggs, Graham West, Richard Coates, Stewart Gasson, Kate Fowler, Clare Parkholm and Peter Wilkes.
