The route is stunning and beatuiful, tough hills but stunning views.

However I have run the long course in the last two years, this is advertised as 22km approx 13.6 miles and yes its a trail race so you can never be totally exact but both years it came out at just over 15 miles long, not just for me but for other people i went with and talked to, in this day and age its easy to run the route and measure the distance. 

Secondly this year bad sigange in one area meant a group of around 30 runners went wrong, missing a small bit of tape in a tree 50 metres passed a junction, which meant the 30 runners went half a mile wrong, so my distance was 15.5 miles. 

Thirdly the map on the website and on large printed map on the day that is proudly displayed next to registration shows the whole route in reverse!!! Its the same both years, someone was looking at it and was confused, as not 20 metres from the map they could see arrows attached to trees but they were all pointing in a different direction to what the map said they should be. 

Last year for the price you got a medal and T Shirt, this year just a medal and the offer to buy a tshirt for £20, no thanks, I wont be doing this one again as two other organisers do races in this location and they are better organised and more truthfull with the race distances and routes.
