In short: You've got to do it !!!
In full: Judging by the finishing times of the first runners back there must have been some serious runners in this race. But, in the main, everybodybody who I bumped into was there to have a "fun" time. Never before have I queued for 20 minutes to take a 10 minute walk in a ditch. I'm doing it again next year, make sure you do too :-D

In short: Very muddy and much fun, but bottlenecks hinder progress and PB!
In full: They must remove the ditch section near the start next year. Over 1,000 runners funnelling into single file meant at least a 20 minute delay for most.

In short: A mix of incredible fun and moderate chaos
In full: Most of us didn't know that the race had started and I felt that 10 minutes thigh deep in a ditch full of slurry watching hundreds take an unauthorized short cut wre the down sides. The glorious wather and the psychotic route planning more than made up for it once I had decided that this wasn't a race but an experience !

In short: Fantastic 1st multi terrain
In full: Was worried at the start (everyone looked fitter, better prepared and more confident than myself) however i need not have worried it was a great experience. The marshalls were friendly and encouraging.
Will deffinately return for more of the same next year.

In full: What a great laugh. Mud, sweat and beers!
Only down point was the wait at the first ditch. 2 min silence was good at start. I'll be back next year

In short: it doesn't get much better than this. muddy fields, muddy water and beautiful sunshine.
In full: A bit of a quick start, not everyone was out of the school gates before the the horn blew.
Quite a big bottle neck along the stream to the step up into the lane(a couple of miles in) but apart from that it was an excellent race, many thanks.

In short: Very good as usual. Water wetter, mud mudder than ever.
In full: This is a regular in my calendar due to the atmosphere on Remembrance Day. The gridlock at the first ditch was frustrating but did not distract from a great day out.

In short: Simply putting it...............Awesome!! lots and lots and lots of fun. Loads of variety mud, water, bales.
In full: As a note to the organisation; everything fine except the quing in the stream took quite a while, with many a impatient person climbing fences etc.
