OSWESTRY Olympians returned to cross country action in Dolgellau last weekend in the latest round of the North Wales Championship.
Although the course was relatively flat, it certainly had its challenges with the full effects of all the recent wind and rain truly felt across the course.
Overall, the Olympians had 13 men and 11 women completing the course.
