Shaped like a dumbbell this course housed 83 declared runners from the 114 entered for the Cornwall Hunt club meet.
Seven races on the card, eight actually ran gave great joy to the local crowd and runners making their way through storm Caroline, some like myself from the eastern side of the country having to drive through a snow covered M4 early before reaching the course for an 11.30 start.
