In my opinion, and this was my 45th half in 6 different countries so hopefully I know of which I speak, the Big Half is the worst half of VLM in reverse. Some people will love it, but some people love VLM. But from me, if you want to do a London half do Ealing, or better still sell a kidney or your first born and do Royal Parks. It was too crowded (at times charity walkers 4 abreast), it was fugly (sorry Deptford and Lewisham), dead at times and in the end the weather put paid to the big festival in the park as the tents would have blown away in the wind. So, all in all, a bit of a washout.
