Had a good experience overall. The course was fun and volunteers were supportive! Increased signage for the hike and cycle please, especially when coming up to turns and junctions.

Really well organised event, super friendly team and a very professional and efficient set up. Top marks! Only one minor thing - could be a bit clearer on how to recycle there seems to be a lot of rubbish just going in the bin.

Amazing day and very well organised. The walk was a beautiful route. We didn’t really did find the water stations on the cycle ride- if they were with the marshals it would have been helpful to put a sign up to make it obvious. The cycle route was on the whole a beautiful ride. The traffic was a bit overwhelming on the first hills- could they have been more warning to motorists that an event was on- some very dangerous impatient driving. The last hill out of Alfriston was actually quite dangerous- some cyclists walking up, with other cyclists trying to cycle up- cars stopping and starting causing people to stop and then a big congregation at the top of the hill. Having said the we loved the day and would do it all again.

Absolutely brilliant day from start to finish. Only downside was the. Impatient motorists we had to share the roads with.
