In short: Really good mixed-up course. Perfect start/finish setting. I feel sorry for those of you who didn't take part.

In short: Needs to be better marshalled & organised on route - easily get lost!
In full: A race with lots of potential. It is set in the glorious Forest of Dean, but the race route is poorly marshalled and you have to think hard as which route to take at times! You can easily get lost if you are not careful. If it was marshalled better, it would be a top notch race!
