I'm guessing nice does not mean 'gentle stroll in the trees' ;-)

no - nice in the x-country sense of the word - i.e. the tougher the better (well in the days when I was fit anyway)

even when not as fit, it's such a giggle being knee deep in mud then trying to run over ridiculously uneven terrain, I find my worry about times just goes out of the window and I can just relax and enjoy it.

I'd like to have seen anyone manage to jump over that puddle at Fritton last year.

Dreading XC this year. Hoping to come away with a few less scars this year (still covered in very fresh looking scars from last year!!).
