I ran this trail on a cool evening in March, by the time I reached Bardon Hill the wind was approaching 40mph and it was hard to stay upright at the peak!
During winter and early spring, several sections of the trail become ankle-deep mud, and it's easy to get bogged down if you pick a poor line. I ended up carrying a few hundred grams of wet mud on my feet, but I didn't get stuck!
I love this trail, especially as a night run, it gives amazing views across the county and you never spend too long on any single type of terrain; hills, plantations, golf courses, open pastures, rocky outcrops; you'll run them all!
