In short: Very well organised, flat as billiard table.
In full: Very well organised. good for a pb but very exposed if its windy. Several u-turns around the cones take a little speed off but there is endless amounts of room to go wider. Decent surface to run on. Toilets enough but a bit basic. Apart from the rotting remains of a Shackleton air craft there is not much to look at but then you are here for speed not scenery.

In short: Not far from the running town of Stratford a course alive to 10k and half mara corse made for pb's
In full: It's quiet, it's quirky, it's well organised, it's on a Saturday :-),it's well marshalled and it's fun. It's exposed, it's windy, it's repetitive. It's got a good set of tannoys and speakers, it's got good musioc, it's well water stationed, it's unusual.It's a curate's egg I'll have to try againat some stage. Well done all for an interesting day out and thanks for all the friendly support. Nice medal but distance/date specific would be more appreciated

In short: Billiard Table Flat
In full: Many course describe themselves as Flat but there always a little undulation. Not this one, this was designed using spirit level. It is exposed being an airfield so subject to weather variations. This is a featureless course but what do you expect it is an airfield. The Dead turns break your rhythm a little but you can swing in rather than trip over a cone. Well organised, Good Marshalls, Great medal.
