In short: What a cracker
In full: A big thankyou to all those who helped put on this truly fantastic event. From the moment I pulled up to the car park I knew it was going to be a cracker & I was not wrong. The `parting of the runners` to let Mick & Phil through is just one of fondest memories I treasure for a long time along with so many others. What can I say about the marshals, bag handlers, water stations helpers, spectators & all of the other runners & MicknPhil which has not already been said by others - but thankyou. This event puts a great many races to shame. Simply a wonderful event. Great venue too.
