LOST AND FOUND
Well....it wouldn't be cross country if someone didn't leave something.
We have recieved the following message(s)...
"On unpacking my bike pannier this morning I found I had an extra pair of black running longs. I don't know how they got in there but I expect someone at yesterday's Lauder race is missing them. They are by Karrimor in size medium."
If you are missing yours get in touch and we will get you in contact with the finder.
"I was running at Lauder on Sunday and think someone must have picked up my hat by mistake. It is a green and purple wooly Sherpa hat which me and my daughter share. It is only a few weeks old and was wondering if anyone has said they have it, it is our favourite!"
If you found a hat like this then please let us know and we will try to reunite it with the owner.

Well done to Lauder for hosting a great, albeit challenging, course. Hills, stream crossings, mud and slippery climbs - a bit in there for everyone.

From Edinburgh turn right at the Lauderdale Hotel and then 1st left towards the primary school. this area can accomodate over 50 cars in the car parks and on street parking (Allanbank Gardens). Park at the other side from the houses and do not obstruct the residents exits.
From the south after the Kelso turn off on your right take the first left. There is ample on street parking around the Maitland Park area. Again respect the residents property and access.
From Gala there is a small car park at the southern upland way car park which will take 20-30 cars.

We will not be supervising parking and I have asked our community police to be aware of the extra traffic, and they will enforce any issues around selfish parking and take appropriate action.
