In short: A real half marathon
In full: Lovely scenery, the inclines were all do-able, and all downhill from nine miles. One of the best half marathons, with a little work could be the best.

In short: I tackled this as my first half and I'm back for the third year. The field has multiplied and the organisation gets slicker. An entertaining course for all but the committed flat street enthusiasts.
