In short: A good one
In full: Did the 10 miler, lots of up on the way out but a really quick return! Was the first run I have done with 'dibbers' for the wey-stations, certainly added to the interest. Must have done something right - I took a full 6 minutes off my most recent training run on the same route! Hats off to those that were relying on the maps without the (free) recce, I would have been lost in no time.

In short: It does what it says on the tin! 30km in the Surrey Hills which are hilly.
In full: This is a tough challenge although at least the 3 big climbs are in the first half. The second half isn't flat though. With great weather I thoroughly enjoyed it and the fact that you run from mark to mark and have to navigate to get there breaks it all up and means you forget how long it all is. See you in 2012.

In short: Relatively small numbers of people makes it a friendly event and a good challenge with choice of distances.
