Last year was a blast, with gentle cycling, generally on fire roads and similar. I think this year is going to be in a new location in Dorset. It’s bound to be much more challenging. Its now in the same area as the Dorest gravel dash, and if it’s anything like that, it will be far hillier and more technical affair with some fairly sketchy descents. They were for me on my touring bike with rim bikes and 35c tyres anyway, not to mention downtube shifters...
Gentle cycle - ignoring the bit through the bog that lead to soaked feet and hike a bike (and a destroyed derailleur and cassette and chain).
Apparently the locals knew to skip it thought!
