2008 Hawkshead Trail Race

In short: Beautiful Run
In full: Well worth the trip up and would have stayed overnight but for suspect weather!
One minor quibble is the walkers starting of in front. I thought that it got a bit hectic towards the end and overtaking on a rocky downhill was a bit dodgy.
Wouldn't hesitate to recommend it though!

In full: Very good - did really well with the traffic considering the roads weren't closed. May be better the other way around so you can enjoy the best of the scenery before the agony kicks in!
