In short: Just one acronym: OMG (in a good sense)
In full: 'Proper cross-country' - they weren't kidding! Absolutely amazing course, that would be tough enough on a normal day, but which was a killer this year as it was very warm & sunny. Great scenery, well organised. Definitely would do this race again.

In short: Hard, hilly but totally worth it!
In full: 10 miles of glorious scenery, lots of hills, mud and bogs. Really tough race but enjoyed the long sweeping downhill section at mile 4-5 and miles 8-10. Great support from others runners on the course, lots of water stations and jelly babies. Great to hear my name shouted as I came across the finish line. Nice souvenir t shirt.

In short: Eridge does it again
In full: Only my second Eridge, but a significant improvement despite some shockingly hot weather. Another day to remember, cakes, beer, topbanana and a lazy sunny afternoon.

In short: Hardest race of my life!!!
In full: Great organisation from Allan and the rest of the TWH team. Hills..... Hills and more Hills. Vertical might be a better word to describe them!!
Twisted ankle on mile 0.5 which caused some discomfort during the race.
(T Wells 10k, 16 Sept looking very unlikely) Shame the event doesn't boast a finishing medal as it would of been well deserved!!! On another plus side, good beer & cakes at the finish.

In short: GREAT!! Amazing course; great organisation; nice vibe; non-corporate!
In full: Fully deserving of its already excellent reputation! The course is really good: two challenging ascents (659 and Deeply Steep); mainly single-track; stream crossings; lots of roots; lots of mud; a few jumps; and great scenery throughout. Great organisation from start to finish, nice t-shirt, and a refreshing lack of commercialism (although specifying Haribo Jelly Babies at water stations is genius!)... Great, great event!

In full: Excellent race organisation and atmosphere was second to none.
I underestimated the toughness of the course but I will back next year having done a tad more hill training!
