Did this for the first time, it's a simple out & back course along the towpath beside River Severn into Bristol. So it's exposed, not so nice if it's windy and rainy but fortunately it was dry and not too windy (ish!). Scenery is good vs an inner city route, woody to your left, river on your right, Clifton Suspension Bridge above you.

Mixed terrain of some tarmac but mostly soft path (which would be muddy if it's been raining, I wore trail runners). Not hilly but there is a bit of up and down.

Not many doing it, some speedsters but mixed through rest of the pack. 

You park at a nearby school and walk down for just under 10 mins, easy walk (follow everyone else and there are marshalls), good as a warm up and makes getting in and out very easy.

Very friendly crowd, raffle at the end for wine (bonus). Good marshall support throughout.

Not a big event but really enjoyed it as gentle trot out for a Friday night.

Would do it again.
