2008 British Champs, Culbin, Moray Coast 19 April
The Individual Race took place on very complex forested sand dunes using a superb new map at 1:10,000/1:7,500.
Congratulations to Adrian Hope on becoming the M80 British Champion (see photo) and to Ewan McCarthy who put up an excellent time (only 4 minutes down on the winner) and came 6th on the highly competitive M21E course.   
Other very good results were achieved by:
Alistair Shepherd 4th on M12B, Emma Rutledge 3rd on Light Green, Cath Rutledge 3rd on W45S, Callum Scott 14th on M50L, and Hilary Scott 2nd on W55S.

BASOC didn't have any teams in the BOC Relay on the following day but a small group helped with the organisation of this event.  Mike and Bill (see other photo) transmitted incoming runners' bib numbers by radio to Norma, who wrote them quickly down so that Caroline and Marion could call them out to runners waiting in the changeover pen.
