In short: Tough as you get but the rewards are fantastic
In full: Toughest half I have ever done, an I've done a few. Lots of hard hills which suits me as I'm a plodder. Fab scenery which rewards all the hard work. Incredibly friendly if sparse support and really well organised. Can't wait till next year

In short: Pretty quick. good early atmosphere a bit lacking on 2nd lap
In full: Overall I enjoyed this race. I got a huge pb in the marathon and a good undulating course. Marshalling excellent on the first lap but enthusiasm seemed to wane on the 2nd lap when everyone was spread out. Great medal and t shirt and nice goody bag
