| Having planned the courses , Kate Hampshire Wright ran the long course on a non competitive basis - which explains why she is apparently not putting much effort in on the run to the line. |
A good turnout from NN to round 2 of CLOK's summer league at Hardwick Hall close by Sedgefield. Probably one of the finest evenings of the year to date and a huge contrast from the frozen wastes of Whitby for CLOK's event on the preceding Saturday. T shirts and shorts weather for a frenzied run round Hardwick Hall Park on courses planned by our very own Kate Hampshire Wright .
Thanks to David Aspin of CLOK / New Marske Harriers for the excellent paparazzi work on show here - as well as to CLOK for a fine evening event which was deservedly well supported.

| A pensive Saskia Warren , speeds towards control 2. |
 |
| Debbie Warren takes the long route round the pond to avoid being speared by the statue |
 |
| A fumble at the first control costs seconds to add to the lacksadaisical start - things can only get better... |
 |
| Captured in athletic profile is Dougie Nisbet - using those shades for extra streamlining to save a few more seconds |
 |
| One of NN's squad of super fast girls , Yolanda Hampshire Wright provides a great running partner for Hannah. |
 |
| An inauspicious start for our NN Chairman , Nigel Wright , who consults a bystander (Chris Clynes) about where he is . He's probably only looking for the cafe anyway which doesn't need a map just a quick check of his surrounds.The sign reading 'start' may provide some assistance if he gets really stuck ! |
 |
| Is that it ? As NN coach , Julian Warren , comes to a crashing halt at the finish |
 |
| It'll be getting dark soon , so Nigel Wright dispenses with the map and relies on instinct to speed to the finish. |
 |
| This must be the right way - instinct tells me that cameraman Dave Aspin surely has placed himself on the track to the next control. Now to hunt down Kate Hampshire Wright who must know the course.... |
 |
| Quite a treat for Michael Thompson to finish off a race with a sprint - as opposed to dragging his body weight in mud to the finish on his shoes as happened recently at the North eastern cross country champs |
 |
| What most other competitors usually see of the famous NN shirt ! |
