In short: Come and get a PB to lift the spirits before London
In full: Realistically had to take car to get there in time, but parking seemed very good. Special mention to race secretary as I only entered on line two days before and all was fine and my concerns promptly answered by email. Excellent, plentiful, clear marshalling. Very fast and flat with strong field.

In short: Thought I might get a PB - and did!
In full: Set off through woods with 15 mins to start and got there with time to walk straight to front of start, warm up etc. OK, there was a bit of a shove at the start (maybe try the last-minute advance-to-the-start option), but I think those that followed the suggested timings, had no problem.
My Garmin recorded it to be long (13.24m), but I guess that's preferable to being short and losing the PB!
Great organisation round the course - clear roads and plentiful, friendly marshals and water points (thanks, all); and good support from the local community to keep a smile going when the energy's low.
See you next year.

In short: Pleasant run in Kent Countryside
In full: Faster first half net downhill, so save a bit for the second half. Good organisation, closed roads, plenty of drinks. Attractive Kent countryside. Good open course without obstacles.
Handy from South London by car.

In short: Look forward to this every year
In full: Beautiful scenery and the sun always seems to shine. The hills are challenging, and the surface uneven - more like a dry cross country. Lovely to run on the grass. Watch out for the deer crossing the route!
