Naomi P Mar 2010 2:29pm, 19 Mar 2010 5,306 posts	Quote Pin Naomi P No problem. Where do I start? Terrain - trickier than usual trail, with deeply rutted and very narrow gullies to run in. Very muddy, esp when it's mud over grass, no traction whatsoever Incline - very very steep ascents and descents, over and over again Wind - so strong it knocked me off my feet repeatedly and trying to make any progress into it was like pushing a very fat man up a hill. I could barely stand up by day 3. I'm definitely not heavy or strong enough for this sort of thing. It's more like fell running really. Gower was a piece of piss in comparison. Who's off to the Jurassic this weekend? Weather should be much better, but it's still tough along that stretch of coast..
