Thanks so much again for everything on this one – it really was fantastic, and amazing fun to do! Honestly I was very nervous indeed about actually managing it as for all sorts of reasons I’d not done anything like enough training, but it was an absolutely perfect level of do-able-ness for almost anyone.

Loved the start/ finish spot. Really amazing energy with the announcers etc. and all the food was delicious. The enthusiasm of the volunteers at the water-stops was amazing and really made a big difference to morale. I think the route and distance (for gold at least) was perfect. It was a serious challenge and felt like a real achievement finishing! Dylan W
Extremely well organised, support at water stops was incredible and the set up at the end was brilliant. Felt like you’d thought of everything, and looked after everyone so well. Angela D
Stuart and I had a fab time last weekend and we both absolutely loved the walk. It was perfect to have that Bronze level for people like us who aren’t usually walkers and don’t have hills on our doorstep. The length of it (plus those two steep climbs/descents) made it difficult enough to actually be a challenge, but not so unachievable as to be completely off-putting. Kirsty M
