Thanks everyone for all the help and encouragement. It's great to feel so welcome .
I now have a map and a plan. I guess I do just need to get on with it now . Hopefully (husband permitting ) I should get over to recce the Moel Famau route on Friday so at least I'll know where I'm going if I pluck up courage to enter - as well as having some idea of whether I can manage it.
In the meantime, off running with my circuit class tonight. Hopefully he'll take us up a nice big hill so I can practice
I'll look out for some more local runs. I love the idea of Snowdon - the Watkin path is my favourite but I'm not sure I'm up to running it yet.
