Ian

The course was great and well marked along the route. The scenery was beautiful along the way and the course was challenging with a lot of uphill and downhill.

My main negatives were what you got for your money. We paid £55 for the ultra but were only provided food at one station along the route and water at 2 more. For the money paid I thought this was poor and it would significantly improve morale when running if there was more food available.

Overall I enjoyed the weekend and would recommend the course to anybody who is looking for a challenging run!
