In full: Good course but most challenging section is from 7k. Excellent organisation - sponges at 7k a nice touch as it was much warmer today than I had expected. Only minor issues were parking which is a bit tricky and for some reason there was a very long wait on the start line with people near me getting irritated. Otherwise, very good event.

In short: Good course and great marshalls. Let down by the parking
In full: Ran for first time today and generally enjoyed it. Really nice course, a bit undulating but nothing to worry about and great, supportive marshalls. Only fly in the ointment was the chaotic parking on arrival, where I queued for 20 mins to get into a muddy field with knee high grass. Not great when you are running later than planned and need the loo!! Running on Remembrance Sunday adds to the atmosphere but also adds to the confusion with cars, traffic in the village. But I would certainly do again.

In short: Good course but event lacks atmosphere.
In full: Ran this for the first time this year. Nice flat course ensured a reasonable time (although not helped by the stiff wind blowing across the lake!) but parking is tight in the allocated car park unless you arrive early and the organisers (as reported from last year on this site) could be more friendly. Needs more atmosphere and not great value if you enter on the day like I did but would do it again for sure.

In short: Excellent organisation and marshalls let down by parts of the route
In full: Did this for the third time this year, and as before the organisation and marshalling were top drawer. The chip timing was also a very welcome addition. But for some reason, although it's quite a fast course on paper I just never post a good time. The scenery is pretty uninspiring, particularly from 7k and I did find myself dodging the traffic a bit.
