Wind Down JOG
Back in action
What brings you here?
Strong easterly winds and snow was forecast so we were amazed that nearly 40 people turned up to run at Wind Down. Pete Shirvington planned some excellent courses on his first attempt as a JOG planner.
Guess who
We’re usually lucky with the weather but recently the weekends have been bitterly cold and snowy! In fact this is the first event we’ve managed to hold for three weeks!

Jacob, Pete's youngest son, suggested an idea for a fiendishly hard Fox, with a course marked on a completely whited out map BUT with a blank map on the reverse side! Thanks to everyone who turned up to support us on this very uninviting day

Who are the three mysterious figures in the photographs and what are they doing? Entries so far:
- Jim Pearson took this photographic study of the Wind Down planner and controller, however they insisted on anonymity in case of repercussions (from JC)
- Newcomers, it's our friendly and approachable "meet and greet team"!
- OK I know we insist on 'full body covering' for our forest events but....
- We appreciate not everyone likes there photograph taken but...
- Judy had to gently remind these rather edgy newbies to leave their Kalashnikovs in the registration tent before attempting the Squirrel course
- I know Wind Down so well I could find my way around it blind-folded
