Good blog and agree with Mulbs that there isn't much whiny moaniness considering! I'd have been livid if they altered the cut offs! interesting that there are so many +ve comments on FB, when you have very sound grievances. Agree that the lack of kit check is a major worry, especially when the weather closes in. |

You're right RH, everywhere I look there seems to be nothing but positive comment for the Pembrokeshire trail races, shame Gromit had such a bad experience.

I think the majority of the positive feedback is coming from the non stop 100's as they wouldn't have been affected by things that I was plus from 50 miles in they wouldn't have noticed I've contacted the organiser directly to try and constructively feedback and hope they take some of it on board if they decide to do it next year and improve for the stage racers |

It strikes that they were biting off more than they could chew running a stage race and a hundred miler at the same time, seems like a logistical nightmare. Something had to give I suppose
