In short: A challenging undulating course which seemed quite hard over the last 5 miles. The hills aren't massive, but do take out of over time.

In short: Surprised by the "undulation" which made the course very challenging in the last 4 miles

In short: Suprisingly hilly course. Picturesque. Plenty of car parking and good toilets. Only a medal and no T shirt or goodies at the end was a bit disappointing.

In short: The hills , Esmerelda, the hills! Felt a bit Quasimodoish for the next few days but worth it.
