In short: Good tough prep for London
In full: Very well organised, excellent marshalls (thank you!), well signposted, well spaced and well manned water stations (thanks again!). Course very undulating, made tougher by the strong wind, but pleasant villages and scenery with little traffic to take your mind off the hills. The last mile is torture, winding through a housing estate and school playing field. Car park seemed like miles away, especially the walk back uphill from HQ after the race. Nice polo shirt as a memento. Main gripe is the freezing cold showers in the men's changing room (same as last year, I see from the feedback) but being a school this should be easily fixed! Overall a nice event but I probably wouldn't make the 200 mile round trip again.
