In short: Undulating i kid you not!
In full: Just when you thought there were no more hills a nother would pop up and another.........then another. Good run but far too hot for running much better suited for spectators, Give me a cool damp day any day for running!!!

In short: Good Trail Run hard on the knees!
In full: Good Run although running a lot of the way along a slope does not do the knees good, but nice enough run and will do again next month

In short: Map reading nightmare!
In full: Lovely evening, course was very scenic, only thing that spoilt it was my poor map reading luckily ran with 3 others to which i am eternally grateful for not getting me lost otherwise i would still be running round the woods now. Good fun though although whether this is for me a opposed to pure running is very debatable

In short: Okay but nothing startling
In full: Its a pity this 5k couldnt be run totally in the park instead of just the start and finish. Bit too quick for me and difficult to get into any sort of rythym as constantly up and down peoples entry to drives on grass roads etc but still better than atraining run and the weather was pleasant anyway

In full: Excellant weather, wind cold but not enough to affect your performance this year, more spectators than last year, great day all round-back next year

In short: Don't wear whites!!!!!!!
In full: Lovely cross country mix with two hills x 2 thrown in for good measure, conditions tricky underfoot, but just about good enough to maintain a decent pace

In short: Good weather, not too crowded
In full: Agree that this is a better run than GNR as their is far less people in it approx 1000 plenty of room to run and definitely excellant pb potential, noticed couple of good pubs 5-6 mile in!!!

In short: GNS Great North Spectacle
In full: Too many slower ranked people starting too far up the field then holding up the people who want to run all the way, no room from start to finish, but still a great spectacle
