In short: Great off road race thru woods, bit tough!
In full: Fab race, very friendly and although moslty club runners, not at all intimidating. Excellently marshalled throughout, very undulating thru woods, interesting if wet and muddy!

In full: Good sharpener for coming XC season. Course is challenging in parts but does have flat and down hill sections to make up for some of the climbs. Excellent cakes afterwards - much appreciated.

In short: I hate running up hills...
In full: ...but i throughly enjoyed this run MORE than i thought i would. I kept to a steady pace and stayed at the back - but still made a better time than i thought! I will definately be joining the Striders now, as they are a nice bunch.
