In full: Great race in beautiful countryside. Enjoyed being cooled off by the old chap with the hosepipe! Definitely be back next year.
A sign to the start from the car park would have been helpful, but apart from that it was an excellent event.

In short: Nice rural 20 miler.
In full: I like the way you can split this race up into manageable chunks - out to the loop, twice round the loop, back to Frampton. Friendly marshalls and great cake at the finish. I found the walk from the finish to the hall to the carpark to be a useful warm down.
But...couldn't hear a single word of the race briefing at the start, and there should've been something sent with the race number to say which event it was for (even just write something on the envelope would done the job).
