Wanted to end the year with a good trail half and this was certainly no disappointment! Julian C
I was really looking forward to this run as it was my first trail run half and was nice to run somewhere a little different.
Overall a great run, well organised by nice work, nice medal at the end too. Would definitely do it again next year.

It was a great day and enjoyed every moment, it was a bit muddy but made the course interesting. I am not a fast runner but managed to complete the course at age 67. Thanks to all the marshals and Nice Work for organising the race. And thanks to Bedgebury for allowing the race to be run there. Michael R
