In short: Over-priced, but great fun
In full: Value-for-money should be improved
(eg improve goodie-bag at end)
Could also add a few more fun obstacles (eg to climb).
But nevertheless a great, fun event,
worth doing.
Good catering, too.
Warm showers afterwards would be a dream come true, but not sure how they could be provided !

In short: good event, everything there (except a photographer)
In full: Photographer, town crier and web-entry would be good.
Great setting, plenty of hills, toilets, marshalls, refreshments, sponge/water stations ...
I commend it !

In short: good event (despite several bottlenecks and cow stampede)
In full: Worth doing.
Bottlenecks & cow stampede need looking at.
Access to showers would be a BIG advantage,
so we can go home clean/feeling good/warm.
Putting our running nos on the web just before the event would cut out 1 bottleneck.
Playground warm-up is a GREAT idea, although:
- it was late;
- instructor needs to be higher,
so we can see her lower-half.
Free massages very good, thanks.
Please keep up the good work :D

In short: Brill event esp course, views, pit-stops, hand-outs, showers, lunch
In full: Great to have shower & lunch before leaving.
I would highly recommend this event.
It should receive greater acclaim.
Really trivial quibbles:
no coffee at start
need 1 or 2 more signs (for confidence)
showers need de-scaling
But I would still rate this event 99% ! :)
Well done and thank you,
all organisers and marshals !
See you next year.
ps surprised so many shirts left over ?

In short: A great day out for everyone
In full: Confusion at start over which race started when/where, and start was a bottleneck;
not sure who should have got goody bags at end.
But a really great race/day out !
Great Town Crier, stalls, medal etc
(and good baggage-handling)
NB Where are the official/unofficial photos ?

In short: Strenuous, but good fun.
In full: Thanks to: the lady who pushed me up the slippery slope; Kate (from Liverpool) who kept me going up the final hills !
Good: lots of water stations; friendly.
Needed: a few more signs/marshalls; a route map/description (in advance) on the web.
Overall: I would recommend it.

In short: Great event (and great goodie-bag).
In full: Marshalls gave wildly mis-leading estimates of race distance left.
NB I would like to thank the 2 VERY kind girls who stopped to pull me out of the mud when my left-calf seized up :-) x 2
Free beer when I see them next !

In full: I enjoyed being a cowboy,
but does anybody have a spare kilt I could borrow for next year please ?!
