Here you go Shem, I think this is what you were looking for:

Are you going to do it?

Al.

wellive looked through the info, and have spoken to people that have done it, and to be honest every one says its pretty boring. just a long chilled ride, not many good down hills, just lots of green lane style riding. would be good training though. Are you going to do it Al? any one else????

Thats what I thought of it too Shem. Its 2 years since I done it but what I remember of it just a bit of a slog along tracks that had been ripped up by 4 x4's lucky it was dry so we just had the ruts, hell knows what it would of been like if they were full of water too!

There may of been good parts to it but if I think about it I can't remember any! I haven't rushed back to do it again since

It means to lot have to come out of Wales too

I've done it every year it's been run. The course gets harder each time. I'd agree that the route can be a bit uninspiring, but is a real mind over body challenge ! We'll be back for more this year.

Thanks for the honest comments, bearing all that in mind, i shant bother.

Thanks again.

I quite fancy doing the Isle of Man End to End in September though... Will have to see if I can afford the time and money to do so.

Al if you get the chance to do the IoM one - got for it. Did the route - tho not the event - a couple of years go. Its a great course with some awesome scenery. There's a couple of reasonably long climbs, tho not too steep, short bit of interesting downhill, and some lovely single track towards the end.

That would be the other option since we will be on the IOM in July. DO the course while we are there and save the £240 boat crossing for September!
