In short: Great fun !
In full: Put all thoughts of a PB well out of your mind and enjoy ! Very muddy, very hilly but great fun. First time I've ever walked in a race - near the start due to steep hill and queue of runners and at mile 4 where it was physically impossible (at least for everyone I saw). Trail shoes would be good if you have them but most people managed in ordinary runners, but don't bring your shiny new ones ! Organisation was great for the first time the race had been run. Marshalls were really encouraging - thanks to all of them (especially the guy at the bottom of 'the' hill who may have learned a few new words) and there was a great atmosphere at the finish. Nice tee-shirt and the bacon rolls and home-made cakes at the end rounded off a great morning. I'll be back .....

In short: Well organised XC race
In full: Like the other reviewer said, organisation was spot on. 2 BIG hills & pretty slippy due to all the mud, but really enjoyed it.
I also managed to get a small t-shirt, bonus! (swapped over by a lovely marshall)

In short: Organisation was clockwork, just like it had been running for years
In full: This is a hard race, very challanging but very rewarding, the marshalls were fantastic, the facilites great, tea, coffees, cakes and bacon roll all available, fantastice race all round, PLEASE PLEASE run it again next year... (nice to have a race on a Saturday too and with a kids run too) GREAT
