The Northern County Championships took place at Knowsley Safari Park in windy and muddy conditions. The rain earlier in the week meant the ground cut up considerably and most areas were covered in ankle deep mud. The wind also got up making running even more difficult. The men finished 25th on the day and the counters were Greg Jones (206th), Mike Green (239th), Karl Pickstock (258th), John Thelwell (279th), John Armstrong (299th) and Phil Cuthbert (371st). The ladies finished 30th with Sallie Holt (104th), Julie Barbat (202nd), Sharon Lamont (209th) and Nicci Davies (230th) the counters.
