In short: A well ran scenic course with a sting in the tail
In full: Well organised event with a fast challenging course but a nasty little hill at the finish. My family enjoyed the refreshments and cake on a cold winters day.
One small issue not enough gents toilets, huge cue with 15 mins left to the start.
