Borders XC

Paxton House 7th January 2024

Borders XC series @ Paxton House.

Sunday 7th January 2024

Junior race 11:15am. Senior race 12noon.

Once again, we look forward to welcoming everyone to Paxton House for the NRC round of the Border XC series. Thanks must go to the Home-Robertson family for generously continuing to allow us access to the surrounding farm/woodlands. As ever we are grateful to the staff in the tearoom for letting us use it for registration, they will also be open from 10am serving teas, coffee, soup, rolls etc. please show them your support.

At the moment it looks as if we will be able to use the grass area beside the house for parking but in the event of poor weather we will revert to parking on the drive & roadsides, please park where instructed and allow enough time for a 10 min walk/jog. Car share where possible and above all please avoid parking on the mown verges near the farm & entrance to Paxton House.

Both Senior & Junior routes will consist of the usual mixture of parkland, fields, stream crossing(s) depending on the weather, woodland/riverside paths. At the moment it looks as if there will be more stoor than glaur (never seen it so dry!)

Seniors please pay particular attention to the Junior race as their course will be your first lap before heading off on your second loop!

Maps will be displayed in the Courtyard on the day.

In order that we continue to be made welcome at Paxton House......PLEASE park where directed, when warming up stick to the marked route on the farm/woodland and try to avoid using the toilets whilst wearing muddy footwear.

Please note that under no circumstance will washing shoes in the toilets be tolerated!!!
