In short: brawn and brains what a concept
In full: Unfortunate weather (pouring down in July) made the puzzle stages less enjoyable but a great idea allowing competitors to "rest" from running while solving the puzzles and, consequently, improving their overall finishing time.
Some teething problems (first event of many I hope) but good comunication from organiser afterwords to ensure our concerns are heeded for the next time

In short: an interesting new type of event
In full: An excellent morning out in spite of the heavy rain making it difficult to mark your grid.This is a nice area to run in with a couple of good hills to give a bit of an extra challenge.The puzzle difficulty was about right and for a first event well organised a lot of preparation had obviously gone into the puzzles.
Shame about the low turnout its well worth giving this type of event a try for a change so I hope you organise another one Andy.
PB rating is irrelavant for this event as its completely different.

In short: Something a bit different and definately worth doing. Made all the better when we won!
In full: The challenges were at the right level, made you think while trying to catch your breath. It was definately worth doing the challenges because of the time bonuses they gave. Great layout for spectators especially for those with young children because of the "out and back" layout. The marshalls were good and friendly and did well to brave the torrential rain! One improvement for next time is to possibly have the start nearer the cafe and car park for easy access to facilities. Overall a 10 out of 10 race.
