In short: Fantastic course with real PB potentilal marred by poor organisation.
In full: Great course, and fortunately glorious weather, which was good given the 15 minute delay at the start. Warm Up, Cool Down, Race = Injury. Parking was good, but I got there early, and decided to leave early too as the exit looked a nighmare. Passing the slower runners in the last kilometer was badly managed and positively dangerous at times, and poor traffic management left me racing against a Merc Esate trying to get into the finish, and the timing whilst looking the part was hopelesly inacurate. The PB I was celebrating now just makes me look like a pratt! The finish seemed to have some additional mats, so the finish wasn't where the finish mat appeared to be. And finally... the profit focussed organisers don't pay for a UKA license, so your result doesn't count anyway. I don't normally criticise the races I do as I know how hard they are to put on, but these guys call themselves experts and are doing it for the money.
