Jodg, I trotted steadily round in 4.32. Not spectacular, but pleased to get round. Just struggled on the last 4 mile, downhill, section. Bit dehydrated & took a tumble myself. Bruised left knee, cut right knee. Badges of honour !
Muddy Retriever, I've had that sun tan lotion in your eyes problem. But last year I tracked down some "blokey" sports sun tan lotion that, somehow, doesn't run in to your eyes. I think it was from Asda, in a blue bottle. Anyway, it works a treat !
