A beautiful trial marathon course through groves, woodland, and heathland. The views were stunning. Huge skies, buzzards, red kites. I was slightly anxious going through a field of very calm cows, which completely ignored me. Normally I shield myself by following other runners; no one was in sight on this occasion. The last 1.5 miles was uphill, which was tough on tired legs, but crossing the finishing line made it all worth while. Annoyingly, some prankster had changed/removed a couple of arrows at a road crossing so this was the first time I've was glad to have the gtx map on my phone to get myself back to the route. I also shared a short section of the route with off-roaders in their 4x4s , and it was very entertaining watching them go though huge muddy troughs (runners had a mud-free bank to go along). The other marathon runners were very supportive (they were much more experienced that me), and made me feel that I belong 馃グ.
