    Quite a lot different once the main start/finish is taken out. Crucially (for a soft arse like me anyway) the really unpleasant muddy field has been removed although doubtless the organisers will have found some other swamps for us to wallow around in.

    edit: - on reflection i may be wrong. The really muddy bit might be done downhill rather than uphill. Definitely an improvement.

    I'm just kidding myself aren't I? It's going to be bloody awful!

    Just had a run through Heaton Park. Those gusting winds have left a trail of damage across the course, there are trees down everywhere!!!
