In short: Who got the fiver? Not me :-(
In full: And I thought the Cliveden cross country was tough! It's a walk in the park compared to this. The 1 mile hill at the start should have given me a clue. By the third nightmare hill I was walking and I was almost on my hands and knees up the final steps. But the views are glorious, the marshalls are encouraging, the final stretch to the finish is the best in any race I've ever done and you are then fed soup and cheese rolls. Well done to Dr Rob and his team :-)

In short: Brilliant but tough start to the New Year
In full: Fantastic event-very hard for a mere pldder like myself but great sense of achievement on finishing. Organisation great, lots of encouragment from marshalls,supporters and other runners. I'll be back-if only for the soup and carrot! Thanks to Dr Robert and his team for putting on such a great event.

In short: It's not just my knackers that are crackered - pretty much my entire lower body is dead to the world.
In full: Great run which is very well organised, attended and marshalled. The atmosphere is excellent with not only spectators and marshalls giving you encouragement but also other runners. Will do this again without a doubt. If only those damn steps weren't there!
It may appear rather expensive to enter but some of the money goes to charity (an orphanage in Uganda this year I think) so I'm not complaining.

In short: One of the toughest races ever!
In full: This one is a real killer; hills big enough to make you feel like your lungs are going to bleed! It's very well organised though and the atmosphere was fasntastic, so good to see fellow runners supporting each other so much! The scenery and the sense of acheivement afterwards make all those hills worth it!

In short: Great race, fantastic marshals, but includes 1500ft of climb over 12k! Don't do anything stupid the day before like stay up late, drink too much or party.
