In short: A few short hills
In full: No really, they are short hills. They just happen to be practically vertical. At the 7k mark was a hill that drained me for good...and right near the top when I wondered how much longer was a photographer to capture the pain. Awesome!
Highly recommend it. The Brutal guys do factastic races. Small friendly atmosphere races instead of the thousands and you cant find anyone. Keep up the great work.

In short: How many hills?
In full: Thought it was one of those races with hay bales, nets etc. but...great use of Bramshott common, were all the hills used? Loads of short sandy hills with not much flat. Even got down to Prince of Wales at Hammer, before a steep climb back up and there was still one more steep hill to come!
Field to park in, loads of course markings and white tape to stop you going wrong.
Pricey, but the events there to make money.
I'd do again and think about some of the other races.

In short: Awesome challenge, could do with a few nicer touches in the organisation
In full: Overall a great race - super challenging as promised! A really tough course but very satisfying. It would have been nice, given the entry fee, to get something at the end - some cakes or something after working so hard!
