In short: Simply Wonderful!
In full: Let not my own poor performance cloud my opinion of this wonderful event.
The fabulous conditions let us for once truly appreciate the grandness of the beauty of this place, stunning!
Perfectly organised, marshalled and supported throughout with the best public anywhere (Diolch!). I would give a special mention too to their excellent FaceBook page where we were kept well informed, had our queries answered swiftly and were really listened to, an example to others.
If you're wondering whether to do this one day don't let the profile put you off it's more than worth all the effort.
My only sour note is the litterers, sorry there's no excuse, if you can carry it full you can carry it empty. This a beautiful place and that's why we're here if you can't respect that stick to the big city runs and leave the natural places to those of us who care.

In short: A great race!
In full: Really enjoyable, friendly race. Lots of hills, but that's why most people do it!

A real shame so many of us got parking tickets... Bloody local council!
