In short: Excellent organisation throughout. Very enjoyable.
In full: Not obviously a PB potential event, for me at least, especially early in the season, but a scenic and fairly testing course. Superbly well organised and marshalled, with a friendly atmosphere. Undulating, almost to point of being hilly (but then I am used to running in Hull!), and my legs have noticed over the 48 hours since.
