Can anyone comment on this? Is it a nice one? I think it's a LDWA event so would really slow be ok? I know in the past there has been a shorter route - was there last year? Yes I've just got my reject magazine and want a pick me up!! Live locally so tempted to enter.

I'm sure I remember Lisrun blogging about it in very approving terms.
