Cymru

We are off to beautiful Cymru on Saturday:D, for a weeks camping. Mrs sbrt may allow me to head off for a run/race while we are there. Any recomendations?
We will be staying near Barmouth on the south Snowdonia coast.

I am only a plodder and found the Cader Idris race tough but managed ok. Moel Hebog looks interesting.

If you are in Barmouth, you won't find better than the Rhinogs, from Barmouth to Trawsfynnedd there is eveything there to keep you amused for a week, exploring the whole range of hills (in your own time). Have a look at the section of Meirionnydd round route perhaps, finding all the tops will test your navigation skills and be rewarding.

You will need OS Explorer OL18 1:25K you'll want 1:25 scale to navigate up there ;).

In fact I love it so much I am packing my sack this evening and heading for Barmouth tomorrow morning, will head North on the route and bivvy (no tent) under the stars tomorrow night somewhere on North end and return Saturday. Just poking about and enjoying the hills.

Hope this lingering fog clears up for you guys, nice temperature to run/walk in but no views!!

Surprised no one's mentioned Foel Fras which is tomorrow from Abergwyngregan at midday - 12 miles and 3100 feet of excitement (see separate thread).

There's also Hebog the followng Saturday!

Thanks all, sorry diolch in fawr iawn.

Molehill. Iwas looking at the gofar site the other day and enjoyed the Meirionnyddround article written by a guy called Yiannis;)

Tks again
I managed to get out for a run up Moelfre and Rhinog Fawr.

Nice pics, looks like you enjoyed it, and the goats didn't have you :eek:. As you will have seen, there's plenty of running up there to keep anyone happy for a week (though not so much fun finding the way in bad weather!!
