It was a bit too up-hill for my liking and felt like there could be more people taking part to make it better. Obviously the latter is not really possible to change, but it wasn't as enjoyable as it could have been,

Did the race in 2022
My 2nd 10 of the year and a very different course. The loops had variation (although it's definitely not flat!) and I was grateful that it was only 2 laps. Despite the weather, which was typically wintery (Wet, Windy, Muddy, Cold) this race was well organised. Clear communication from the beginning, as well as wonderful helpful marshals meant that things ran smoothly. I would come back and do another event (probably in summer)
