In short: Nice race,would be better to hold it late April,when the blue bells are out.
In full: Shame about the rain in 2004.Would be better slightly later in the year.Late April/early may to catch the blue bells and Lambs as you jog along.

In short: I loved this race, even though it was cold, wet and windy. A hard course but what do you expect in a forest in March when there's snow on the ground.

In short: Tough - organisers pulled the often used trick of 'ironing' the course - was described as F/U, I would call it a H (H/U at best). I expect it would would be a glorious course to run on a nice day!
