In short: Great scenery, superb organisation, tough route
In full: Well organised from parking to the meal provided afterwards. Lovely traffic free route. Ho hold-ups - only one stile at about 4 miles. Can't wait to do it again. High points would be very exposed on a wet and windy day so go prepared.

In short: tough course esp if you haven't done the training
In full: As it's a very small field, a slower runner can be on their own for last 13 miles with other runners sometimes visible in distance. Uncushioned trail shoes not a good idea if there hasn't been a lot of rain. Great breakfast at end, well-organised, lots of water stations with Mars bar pieces and biscuits.
