In short: Great atmosphere, excellent organisation, friendly people
In full: I thought this was a great race. I was not in form but still the participants were lovely and friendly, considerate of others, the marshalls were really supportive and well positioned. The Pub the Welcome Tavern is a great venue to start and finish the race. Local sports shop had a stall outside the pub in case anyone had forgotten anything. A lovely day out. The scenery was not great but I live in the Lakes and its hard to compare.

In full: Missed the 2010 race because of a major op but pleased that 2011 time better than 2009! Was really happy with the medal - even happier to get a bottle of wine coz I was the first in my age group - wasn't expecting that so made my day!
