Hilary Palmer (W75L) and Richard Robinson (M45L) both secured Bronze medal positions at this year’s British Longs which was held in Wales.

The terrain was tricky with plenty of pits scattered throughout mostly rough open and rocky ground. The weather conditions presented a challenge too as some participants had to endure a prolonged hail storm!

Other notable results included Ben Squire who finished top in the M21S class, John Palmer who secured the number one position on the M80S course, and Lily Robinson who finished first on the Yellow course.

More than a dozen NOC members made the journey to Wales for this major event, well done all!

The course shown in the image is Hilary’s W75L.

Richard Robinson put in a stunning performance at the British Night Championships held at Egypt Woods in Hertfordshire earlier this month. 

Richard finished more than three minutes ahead of his nearest rival on the M45L course. 

Richard won the M40L class in 2025 so his achievement this month suggests he is on course for another impressive year of results!
