In short: Excellent race, well done Harvel Hash House Harriers.
In full: Thanks to Harvel Hash House Harriers for organising this excellent 5-mile race. Thanks to the many support staff, marshals etc who gave up their time, and opportunity to run the race, so that we could.
To me the race felt flat/ downhill with two short hills, but in fact it was basically slightly uphill for the first half and slightly downhill for the second half.
The car park was fine as was the start/ finish area. The pub was very handy and looked an excellent place to spend time drinking beer.
The location is pretty rural and the instructions were quite right to say not to approach from the East. We did, due to a combination of road works and getting lost. The road we used was basically single-track with limited passing places.
The scenery was excellent, a mixture of country road and woods.
For those who like details, according to my Garmin the race was 7.97km long and the gross climb was 65m.
