In short: What goes down, must come up!
In full: Well organised parking, although I struggled to find the venue, even with Sat Nav. A couple of sign posts may have made my task a little easier.
That said, a great race, with a good mix of on and off road. The roads were country lanes with considerate marshalls to regulate the traffic. A water stop at the 5 km point was welcome on a warm day. Keen observers will have noted the 8 km marker on the way down the track, and will have realised they were in for a slog back up. It was fairly challenging, but a realistic climb. Quite a slow course I found, but well worth the effort. The wife liked the T-Shirt, so well done BSRC for a nice new 10k race.

In short: Pretty hilly but scenic and interesting
In full: This was a really well organised event with a very friendly atmosphere. It was well marshalled and the venue was great - it isn't an easy race, the last 2.5K are a climb so appreciate the downhills at the beginning! The cakes on offer at the end made it worthwhile though ;-)
