Go Feet , a British running blog of which we are fond here at the offices of Once Upon a Time in the Vest has produced a description of the recent South of England championships accompanied by videos of all age groups. By the time they get around to the Seniors side of the afternoon the course is a wonderfuly chewed up quagmire of which we are also quite fond. So here's to the inventors of the sport and the gallant lads and ladies who fondly partake.
