There was only a small number of supporters enroute which was a bit of a shame. There was only a small part of the course that was residential but none of the locals were out watching or supporting the runners.

Beautiful course. The big disappointment, which was impactful on the day, was the lack of provision of portaloos or equivalent toilet arrangements part way on the circuit. Considering this is a largely single track, completely open run with no other options if runners need the loo, this was a big oversight and would affect my decision to do the run again. A shame, as it was an otherwise well organised, beautiful run.
