In short: Nice Day Out
In full: Nice Day Out, the stairs section was killing. nice T-shirts available (a pity you had to pay another £7.00, not most other races they are free if you complete the race such as the Muddy Woody).
Race was nice and challenging with stair section (yet not as tough as the Beacon race in Malvern), other than that no major climb. A word of warning run close to front in the first section, as I heard some people get delayed 45 seconds or longer on the first set of gates.
