Amazing course and support, everything was top-notch. Can’t wait to race again next year! Good option of overnight camping before and after event. Friendly and helpful staff. Stunning course and good test for personal achievement.

This is the fourth time I’ve done the event and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Everything worked well for the most part though I think the GPX files could be refined and some of the markers on the ‘mini’ caused a little confusion. The road past the entrance to Bicton college is less than ideal and I definitely felt a bit vulnerable there, another rider I spoke to was subjected to some road rage. Not sure how this road stretch could be removed as it does link up some good trails. These are just points for improvement because overall I think this is a great event that I would recommend to others 👍

The event was very well organised, the route files were pretty good, and we were blessed with great weather and dry trails. There was something off with the climbing stats though, which were publicised for the "Full" ride as about 1100m climbing, whereas Strava (via my Apple Watch) and Garmin (via my Edge 1040) recorded 1518m and 1590m respectively, supported by how tired my legs felt at the end. All in all though, a great day out riding over varied trails through beautiful countryside.

Another great event. Very well organized. Thanks for the tip about using Airplane mode to get longer battery life on the phone.

Lovely views. Staff and location. I appreciate how difficult ult it must be to kill the maximum amount of distance from an area like the common so the course design makes sense. I was still gutted to end up on the short course, I followed all the advice regarding fit files and which arrows to follow but screens can be hard to see in the stroboscopic early morning light in and out of woodland. This meant I nearly hit a low gate and wooden post that only became visible at last second and may explain how I missed a turn and ended onion the wrong course. I understand arrows can’t be relied upon and can be removed mid ride but perhaps marshals at key turns would be useful. I look forward to trying to stay on course next year :-)

Course was great, I was over stretched in terms of fitness. My goal was just to get around. The variety of surfaces was great. Did it on a road bike with 40mm tyres, low PSI tubeless. Managed to get through all the technical bits. Maybe a mountain bike would have been kinder on the body.

Some of the route was not appropriate for a Gravel bike, instead I think it should be advised or advertised as a MTB event. Advertising the use of 35mm tyres being acceptable to ride for the course is definitely not true or appropriate especially for the extreme route.

First time for this event. I had actually signed up for the standard but because I wasn't paying attention at a crucial point I ended up doing the mini instead. Loved the course and the event was well organised. I will be entering again next year and hopefully will manage to navigate my way round the standard course. Would recommend this event.
