In short: A challenging route, great organisation, shame about the parked cars
In full: As every year, David Hollingsworth and his team organised an excellent event. The marshals are brilliant - thank you to all of them for their support and encouragement. It's not a pretty course, but its undulations (and a couple of hills) make it a good challenge, as do the parked cars along most of it, usually occupying half of the available running space. That's the only downside, though, and it's beyond the control of the organisers who deserve credit for a job well done for another year.
