In short: Excellent day out with a spot of running!
In full: The new course is so much better (in 2008 it was 2 laps starting in a muddy field) and I really enjoyed the race. Tea & cakes in village hall were magnificent as was sitting in the sun by the castle ruins watching everyone have a great time at the gala. As for the run - I really enjoyed it. Undulating rather than hilly, mixture of trails, tarmac and some cross country over grassy/boggy fields - just brilliant! Excellent organisation and lovely goody bag & medal. I'd so this again and recommend it!

In short: Good trail race again just like last year
In full: Enjoyed it a lot this year and randomly managed to gain a PB even on a tough course. Bit of everything here, quite hilly and a nice mix of trails, fields and farm tracks.
