It was a very cold day for the visit to the beach at Berwick for the 3rd round of the Borders Cross-Country and numbers were considerably down on the previous two rounds – Christmas shopping obviously more appealing than the long journey south to trudge through cold, soft sand and tussocks on the cliff tops. However, it was a good well organised and marshalled race that was put on by Tweed Striders and some of the sand was even quite firm. Iain Gilmore was best of the Carnethies in 9th, while Harry Gilmore had a good run to take second Over 50. A total of ten Carnethies ran. Results are here.
