Thanks and congratulations on a brilliant event; the course was challenging and different; the last few miles tough but rewarding. Can't think of anything wrong so won't dwell on negatives, both myself and Sandy thoroughly enjoyed the whole day. Please pass our thanks on to all the amazing people who stood out in the wind and rain just so we could do what we enjoy doing - they were brilliant - Thanks again - Mark

Thanks for a great day - Brenda likes my new windswept look! If you would be kind enough to send me a copy of the results when they are available I will post them on the born2run site as well as you posting them on your own website. I have a further constructive suggestion which I hope you will take in good part. The run was certainly a challenge, but the bike was perhaps a bit short. How about increasing its length by taking it all the way round Loch Morlich, if the tracks exist to allow it. That would be a very attractive ride - Neil

Just want to say a huge thanks for a wonderful day. It was ‘a first’ but hopefully not ‘a last’. The weather was a "wee bit wild" but it was a great event. You asked us for feedback - Everything was brilliant. The marshal’s were stars. They were very supportive and encouraging. Please pass on big thanks to the marshal’s at transition. They were ace! Really appreciate all your efforts in organising this sort of event and giving us the opportunity to take part. Please pass on "Big Thanks" to everyone who made it possible. Looking forward to seeing you again.

Just a quick e-mail to say thank you so much again for sorting out the entry for Michelle and I! We both had a fantastic time- the course was much tougher than I thought it would be, the fact it was in the Cairngorms though should have been a clue!! Brilliant organisation though, will definitely get an entry in for next year if it is going ahead (but with a bit more hill training behind me!!). We were really disappointed that we could not stay for the prize giving however - when we went to start the car to take it back up to the top car park we discovered that we had flat battery so had to find a couple of strong lads to give us a push to get the engine started, so just had to head off after that!!- Many thanks again - Fiona and Michelle

Well done for a fantastic and unique little race! Running down a hill first kills the legs and I had a great race against an old lady walking her dog coming back up the hill in to that wind! My only thought, I wonder if a mass start would be possible, maybe from 500m from the start you had so it would give the competitor’s time to spread out before the descent. From a competitors point of view it would make for a better "race". It was hard to judge how we were progressing against other teams with the time trail type start. Even now I don’t know what our result was. With a mass start you generally know how you did when you cross the finish line. We all had a magic day, hope to see you next year - Tom

Sorry I didn't see you on Saturday. Thought the event was absolutely fantastic you and your helpers deserve great credit on organising anther quality event. I was speaking to a number of Marshals and they were full of enthusiasm about the whole thing. They deserve great praise for being out there for that length of time and being so cheery throughout. I have spoken to a couple of the competitors and they had nothing but praise for the whole event. Also I have posted a number of photographs of the first couple of hours on the web link as follows: http://mysite.orange.co.uk/redharrier/index2.htm
Please feel free to link up to it from the Charmer web site. If anyone would like a full resolution copy of the images posted just drop me line and I will e-mail it to them. Regards - Paul

Just a wee note to register my thanks for all the efforts of the guys. Route was great, stewards brilliant and the atmosphere was really good. The only wee note of criticism was that some of the faster competitors did "barge" their way down on the narrower sections of the first leg. I would only say a few guys did this but, if we had collided, then there would have been a hell of mess. Knowing the area I find it difficult to suggest an alternative route for the narrower section. Anyway enough of that, it was a great event, hope you have one next year and I'll be able to walk again some time next week. Cheers - Graham

I took part in the Charmer on Saturday. It was the first time that I have ever attempted anything like that before and I must admit that it was difficult but it was a challenge that I enjoyed. I think that with a little more preparation on my behalf I could have completed the course a lot quicker. The route itself was excellent and the marshals and support people were fantastic and truly appreciated. I hope that you raised a good amount of funds for the school and I once my legs start to feel like normal again I will seriously consider entering again next year. Kind Regards - Gordon
