rf_fozzy Jul 2013 2:39pm, 24 Jul 2013 4,910 posts	Quote Pin rf_fozzy stilldreaming - when I did it, it was very well waymarked. Except for one corner where I missed the arrow pointing left and gave myself an extra 100m, uphill. Don't remember stone walls though...... It was very hot and humid when I did it and I died in the bit through the woods and back along the river.

Very well marked and very well run, I ran the whole thing without a map and didnt take one wrong turn back in 2010, its a lovely (tough) event that is very worthy of the small entry fee.

Pedro_Perez Jul 2013 9:00am, 26 Jul 2013 842 posts	Quote Pin Pedro_Perez Excellent, I got an email from the event last night confirming my entry along with a map and route narative. All numbers to be collected on the day but thats not a big issue as its very well organised. Map and route narative are all optional.
