Yep! It is hilly. I did it 2 years ago and it poured with rain. You start going uphill for about a mile and a half then it undulates up and down followed by a big downhill section to Hambleden. It flattenes for a mile through the village and down the valley then its uphill again. I think I can remember it undulating again until about 11 miles (there's a nasty uphill bit before 11!) then it's pretty much downhill to the end. A real sense of achievement awaits you at the end..

Got my PB! 40.09. Felt great all the way apart from the last 50 yards when I could see the clock ticking past 40.00. I was aiming for under 40.00 but a PB is good nonetheless. I'll be back next year.
