In short: A complete waste of time, effort, money.
In full: I think i turned up by mistake. Terrible organisation - 5 portaloos for an expected 1500 runners plus support, no changing facility as advertised, bag room was 6 feet square. Now the water stations - at the end - who let their granny and her friend be in charge? They were not keeping up with demand when there were surely loads of others to help. Other water stations saw small children risking their lives to hand out water - not a good idea. The route was drab and depressing - it even included running up a muddy bank to get back onto the road!
After the slick organisation of a local half the week before which cost less and gave out t-shirts for free I am not sure what my hard earned £20 was for - back-handers? paying the small children's pocket money?
Attendants should be encouraged to support - something done by about 50%. And please put up signs or change the route so that the visiting pensioners can get out of the way rather than almost get run over on narrow bridges.
I won't be attending this one again. (funny that)
