Very enjoyable, would benefit from more markings leading to the car park as it was very difficult to find!

Second time of doing it in 2021 and as always great organisation. Found it easy to find the start/finish location, a great atmosphere with the last stand in the forest and a great idea for the 5 and 10 milers. Well done again

An important Remembrance Day run for many people. Poor directions to the Car Park - simply saying turn right before the Visitor Centre isn't helpful when the visitor centre is half a mile further on down a hill and out of sight. A small flag, notice or Marshall at that junction would have helped. There was some confusion about where to be for the two minutes silence and Last Post. We were in the right place but many weren't. As I was the final runner it was quite intimidating to have the sweepers on a bike and in car so close to me as I struggled over the last few miles. Great scenery, but not so great organisation our group felt. I didn't enjoy it as much as I wanted to, unlikely to return.
