In short: Friendly, hilly but downs as well as ups. Good value with excellent tech shirt.
In full: Yes, it's hilly (have you got that now?) but some fast downhills as well as slow uphills. I walked a bit up the hills - gives you time to take in the great scenery! Not traffic-free but the lanes are so quiet it's not really a problem at all. On it's regular Sunday it's probably even quieter. Good T shirt, excellent marshalls and water/sponges in the right places. Will be back next year.

In short: Well organised and friendly run
In full: Marshalls were excellent despite the horrid weather. I just turned up, parked easily, signed in and was off. All trouble-free. Very enjoyable and the mud made it more intereting.

In short: Reached expectations but didn't go beyond them. Worth doing.
In full: Beautiful scenery, traffic somewhat distracting at times. Parking needs sorting out and bigger water stations needed. But all-in-all a very good effort by the volunteers and nice to see people turning out to cheer you on. Undulating is a fair description. No difficult hills at all.

In short: All very runnable, hills not steep but plentiful
In full: Only my 3rd half-marathon and knocked 12 mins off my PB so came away feeling very happy indeed. The constant drizzle helped me stay cool and was surprised by the amount of people willing to stand in the rain and shout support. Overall a good experience. Agree that sinage to the start was a bit poor but generally the race was well-organised.
