Maybe the organisers will learn from their first event…
My tuppence worth is
Nice food van from the cafe, nicely set out small event arena, good beer and bands (though i would have liked an earlier night but i’m an old fart). Some great trails and scenery. Great smiley friendly and encouraging marshalls at every point, BIG thanks for taking the day out to do it. Food stops adequate and frequent enough. Mainly well signposted…
… at least one crucial fork not signposted at the time we arrived (high on the moor and not late in day at all) Spoke to the guy from puruple mountain who marked it and am assured it was signed so i’m guessing the sheep ate the yellow flag (as they do). On such a crucial junction something more permanant maybe? (a person??. Too much fire road or just road on the return loop.
In the arena, no pasta Sat night (as adv). Cafe van: good food but 1.50 for a tea. Was ignored in favour of Purple Mountain helpers Sat night both in the van and on the bar… that kinda face i guess!!! The finish was all a bit… flat (advertised as a party?)
Sounds like a right moan but overall it was a good day out on bits of NYM i havent been on on a bike so all good and i’d go back for another event so no majors…
Does anyone know or have a link to a results table??
