Parking: I arrived later than I'd have liked and the car park at the house was full. I ended up in the field which is a good 500m walk to registration but lots of space for lots of cars. 

Registration: very easy to collect my number and timing chips. No official baggage storage, just trust in the marshals to look after your stuff in the village hall. 

Warm up: a fun warm up from Amy Chalk. Would be great to do to music.

Briefing: very thorough with lots of information. 

Start: this is a bit awkward as you're funnelled out of a very small exit from the village hall to the start where you then have to position yourself to run the way you've just come from. Nice loud horn to start everyone off. 

Route: not as flat as advertised but very pretty and easy to navigate. Killer hill at 8k.

Marshals: very good, very friendly and helpful. 

Water station: needed to be placed closer to the road with more adults than children as they couldn't cope with the busy flow of runners around me at the time. 

Finish: very busy and welcoming at the end with a bottle of water,  cereal bar and a great medal.

All in all, an enjoyable race with noticeable improvements from last year. Thanks Cadence Events.
