In short: A dull race unfortunately, with misleading directions given in advance, causing us and others to be late - and then to find out it was a 10 min jog to the start!!!!
In full: The directions to the race were misleading (promised that there would be signs everywhere for the race location as "car boot sale" - but there were non at all) and inadequate.
Why not start races earlier in August? It is too hot at 11am.
The race start was 10 minute jog from the parking.

In short: Good course, but extremely hot!
In full: Generally not a bad race - but very hot day for it unfortunately. Given the heat another water stop would have been good. The event needs larger more visible signs on the road to make the start easier to find. All the marshalls were VERY supportive and gave lots of encouragement - thank you!
