In full: My first Bells and I will definitely be coming back for more. Really friendly and well organised. A bit crowded in parts but hey this is cross country running at its finest. What made it for me was hearing the pealing bells as you entered the last mile or so. One of those "hairs on the back of your neck" type moments. And I don't normally like fruit cake but Bells fruit cake is excellent.
