The MOD certainly had their hands full last weekend as the fifth round of the Putoline XC Championship series ran on MOD land near Chattenden, Kent. As if dealing with scores of XC riders wasn't enough, local 'tree huggers' had invaded part of the property earlier in the week invoking quite a show of security from local police and MOD personnel. Organiser Paul Edmondson, of fasteddyracing.com, had to revise the course significantly, part of the planned course ran too close to the security operation, but he succeed in providing an excellent mix of terrain and challenges to make the fifth round of this popular series tough, but not too tough.
