In short: Excellent XC with improved route for 2008
In full: Reversing the route helped tremondously this year with no queues at the ditch crossings. It's a proper cross-country that has everything. I enjoyed the previous 2 years but found this years event exceptional.

In short: My 1st XC !
In full: I really enjoyed this race, the weather was glorious and it was very well organised. Didnt enjoy the last long hill at the end nor the ditches but it was worth it! I'm definitely going to make sure its my last race of the year !
