🥈Hilary and Wyndham
🥉Nikki and Brett
Unless anyone completes one of the big rounds between now and December 21st, these will be the final results.

Latest (possibly final?) standings
Spiffy Prizes for 1st, 2nd & 3rd places in Open and Ladies categories
So for example...
Running four of the counting races, say Cwm Nant y Groes, L-B, Cribyn and Talgarth could give you a maximum of 80 points (20 points x 4 races).
If you did one of the bonus point challenges you could get another 20 points for being the 1st place Mynydd Du runner
With the above races you would also have a Short, Medium and Long counter and would therefore get 5 extra bonus points
If you completed all eight counters you would get 1 extra point per race (4 extra points) and an extra bonus 3 points for completing all counting races.
If you broke the course record of one of the Races, say Black Mountains ;) then you would get an extra 10 points.
Please send any questions or angry hate mail to Steve Hepton and he will be happy to help 😁
