In short: First Marathon - Loved the Scenery - but not so much the hills
In full: The scenery on the first half of the course was magnificent truly breathtaking and achieved a PB split at halfway. However for first time marathoners as myself, beware the second half hills and offshore wind - not to be underestimated. Organization could do with some improvement - big screen failed to work and spectators are not allowed near the finish line. The walk at the end to the spectators and buses is around 30 to 45 minutes - so beware.
