What a fantastic event. Really well organised, with a brilliantly stocked aid station, a lovely course and genuinely friendly staff and volunteers. I especially appreciated the relaxed atmosphere, turn up, do what you can, no pressure, just enjoy it. It's easily one of my favour...

Even when it rains the enthusiasm from the race crew at the end of each lap fires me up to tackle that hill again!
