In short: Where's the ski lift?
In full: Blimey! When they said hills they weren't kidding - Giants Grave was truly a hands and knees job - even the nimblest mountain goat would struggle! Brilliant route, stunning scenery, freakishly lovely weather, totally wrecked trainers and a cake table to die for - it was huge! I had no idea there were so many permutations of fruit cake! Congratulations and Radox all round and I'll be back next year to sample the Victoria sponges.

In short: Bigger Hills than expected but made up for by big downhills and cake at finish
In full: Lots of steep ups and downs, Don't think anyone could run up all of them. Rolled down one (literally). Nice sunny day - would have been even more fun in torrential rain !
