In short: Good atmosphere, good organisation and good PB potential
In full: Seemed to be enough loos and it didn't seem too crowded up at the front. Largely flat course and I managed to knock 2 mins off my PB which was pretty much the same story for a number of us.
Improvement on the HM course in that it avoided the cobbles, there were some just after the swing bridge, but flattish compared to the Half.

In short: Very well organised "large" event
In full: I agree with the many other comments to date that commend the organisation. Hope they keep this up for the future. Have noticed the results list has less than 4000 entries yet the website said there were up to 15000 places available. Hope lower than expected turnout doesn't put the organisers off repeating the event. Compared to numbers of Bath half and Bristol half this seems a very manageable number.

In short: Superb organisation, smooth start / finish procdure, nice course
In full: Good flat fast course. Both start and finish procedure excellent, no queuing. Will be interesting to see if it is as good as the field grows. I don't often run for no chocolate!
