Straightforward. They changed it a bit in the summer one this year with a new combination of hedge to ditch that caught a few. There's a corner but with easy alt. Flat ground usually holds up well though never been there when it's very wet
I did it June 2007 and the xc was very straightforward, and def not a big intro! The sj was quite decent and caused quite a few problems but the ground wasn't great in the sj which i think contributed (had been wet then started drying so was v sticky) Xc ground was fine
