That was the first time I'd encountered that new stile, coming down to the river the second time I'm sure that must have cost me minutes as well!
That's the reason I wear my 'Wave-Harriers', instead of my 'Mud-Claw 330s', as they're better on the road section & still grippy enough in the woods
The M-C's are too 'absorbant' on the road, & seem to be too awkward to run in on a sealed surface - especially with the rounded heel tread (or is that just me)

As for the new stile, it was a surprise at the last event, but to be fair to Andy, he didn't know about it either - so didn't warn us at the start.
