Can't believe I won the raffle - for the kit check! Passed without question, but did see one gent en-route with a bum bag no bigger than a money wallet! If he had coat and trousers in there then they must have been wind proof - for a baby ;-)

Great race, though that climb went on forever. Even the decent seemed further than I expected, but thoroughly enjoyed it. Great organisation, great marshalling (cheers all!) and grand as owt cakes and brews in real mugs at the end - what more do you want?
