oi you Feb 2013 8:40pm, 25 Feb 2013 123 posts	Quote Pin oi you I know I had a lot more time than many to admire the view at Sunderland, but I've got to say I found it an uninspiring course. There's no "killer hill" like Alton Towers or Roundhey Park, no nice woodland section like Parliament Hill. Don't get me wrong, it was still a very hard run - just dull. Anyway - I was pleased with 8th of 17 Vet60s in 1:10:12. It was the 700 mile round trip that done me in.
