In short: Organisation fantastic, weather terrible!
In full: This was the fifth or sixth time I've taken part in this race, but the first time I've had to be rescued due to the onset of hypothermia! The incessant downpour and howling gale on the hills (plus I need to eat more pies...) finally overcame my multiple layers and "waterproof". The marshals were brilliant at coordinating rescues as people started dropping out from about 10 miles in, and provided copious amounts of soup,tea and space blankets once we'd been delivered back to the scout hut. A big thank you to the organisers and marshals!
The race itself was as good as ever, well organised, and very well-stocked water stations - The cake went down well. The mud was fantastic, I'm so disappointed I didn't finish it this year. I will be back next year to take on Butser again (and hoping for drier weather)!

In short: Bring on the mud and hills!
In full: Another year, another brilliant Rough n Tumble race. plenty of course preparation (rain) the day before, the weather was absolutely glorious for race, beautiful views from the tops of the hills. the hills are as hard as ever, although the sticky rather than slippery mud made the going a bit easier. I expected it to be wetter, but there were plenty of puddles and mud around to make it interesting, it was much squishier than last year!
The cake selection was awesome, and for the slower runners, the ladies were keeping aside cake bought before the race. The marshals were all lovely, and happily shouting encouragement, and joking about upcoming hills.
Overall, a really well organised race over some beautiful parts of Wiltshire. I hope to be back next year.
