Just a reminder to those unsure about the details for Sunday – marshals will be meeting up at 9:30 in the car park for John Muir Country Park.  There will be five groups marking out and marshaling their own sections of the course and then clearing up the same markers at the end – Anne and Stuart will take everything back to Hallhill. Thanks in advance for you help.
