In short: Scorching!
In full: Well organised friendly race. Just got burnt to a crisp! Can we have some bins at the start? I had to walk 1/2 mile back to the car to dump a water bottle!

Great day, see you next year!

In short: Expensive but good
In full: The race was a gem, organisation excellent and the atmosphere very good. But why they have to charge so much I'm not sure. Maybe because it's the Council?

In short: Great day out
In full: Well organised, and no worries with the slippery muddy cross country section. The mile markers at 1 and 2 were 300 or more yards short, but not a huge concern. The new finish line was good too. Thanks to Vicky and Jo who kept me going!

In short: It was great, now I'm not so sure
In full: I'd hate to admit it, but it wasn't as good as last year! The start was rather wobbly as you have to walk through the field to get to the back, so I started much closer o the front than I wanted. Marshalls were great, as they always are, but only 1 cup of "off" water was a bit mean.

In short: A good race, just a bit breezy!
In full: Can't fault it really, except maybe that the website appeared to advertise a 10:30 start when it was 10 o'clock. Oops. It just meant that my garmin didn't have a fix for the first half mile.
Otherwise, good organisation, friendly marshalls and a good finish line. Cheers!

In short: Wet and fast. Just how like them!
In full: Despit being held for a while in a torrent of rain, not bad at all. Crowds were very thin on the ground, though I'd be watching from indoors too! Excellent support from the police and marsalls, thanks for getting wet!

In short: A bridge too far?
In full: Not a bad run, but it was a bit dreary. Very warm, and water stops weren't too well organised. Very scenic over the bridge (especially if you like brown water!), and generally a pleasant day.

In short: Wow! That was fun!
In full: Well organised, perhaps lacking in signs (I nearly got lost in the woods!) but very good. It was a bit hard to drag myself round a second lap, really did not want to run past the finish line at 6 1/2 miles! Very friendly marshalls, and I was most impressed to see water as often. The pasta and salad at the finish were an excellent idea too!

In short: Glorious, shame about the finish
In full: I really wanted to sing Woodhall's praises, but was let down by a very poorly organised finish area. Rather than a 1/2 mile straight to the finish, beyond a sign that said "finish" (may have been an arrow?!) was a 15 yard turn off to the gantry. Unfortunately due to overcrowding and medals ON THE LINE?!!!!!! I had to stop before the line, thus getting a 2 minute variance on times. As a regular runner, I wasn't happy; some of the first timers I saw seemed to be upset.
