"Savage" winds and a super-slippery course formed the backdrop for Sunday's British National Cyclo-Cross Championships in South Shields. Cameron Mason made it four in a row after a hard fought race, while fellow Scot Anna Flynn scored her first ever victory in the elite women's event, in what was only her third cyclo-cross race of the season.
After a morning of heavy rain on the Tyneside course, both men's and women's fields faced mud, strong winds and even some ice on the Gypsies Green course.
