The big race of the weekend (in terms of Heathside participants) was, of course, the London XC Champs on Hampstead Heath, where in relatively mild and dry weather conditions, 47 Men and 27 Ladies competed in club colours. Heathside's Ladies continued their glorious xc season with Ella Waldman, Kelly Thorneycroft, Rebecca Bunting and Sue Rust securing a team 1st place with less than half the points of the 2nd team, all four finishing in the top 15.
