After the games & a snack-lunch a bus took us to the secret start locations for runners and walkers

 

The Ballbuster trail (12km) runners are rearing to go from their drop off - higher on the mountain that the walkers start

 

Here the group of 10km trail runners are ready for action

 

Walkers wait to re-board the bus to take them down to the start of the walking trail
