Good though I came 3rd today and took the overall Meirionnydd winter series win by over 8 minutes with 1st in the Rhobell, 2nd in Tarren Hendre and third today. Good turnout today as well considering the conditions, but it was the 1st round of the WFRA NW series.
Think you would of romped it today Tom there was only one in the Juniors race.

Parents yeah.....the red one :)

Shame you couldn't make it Tom, i had to eat all the cake myself. Weather wasn't too bad, but it was poor visibility most of the race. Lots of interesting lines taken but everyone seemed to enjoy it, i definitely did :)

Yeah it was a shame....still got the Moelwyns coming up and then Cribyn...its quite a wales packed year really

why not have a run round Helsby hill instead Tom?

The best bit of the race for me today was having a slice of the said cake!

Great race. Felt like I had a good race, but was 10min down on previous. Go figure. Thanks Graham and team.

Great race and series as a whole,amazing to see the front runners leaping down that rocky section right at the summit.

This was my first big mountain fell race (done a few smaller ones locally) and wow it was tough! I found the poor visibility difficult psychologically and the wind and cold on the top really took it out of you physically.

I was last but I’m really proud of myself for finishing – just hope I get faster as I feel bad for making all those marshals sit in the cold for so long!!

Many thanks to everyone involved in organising the race.

Well Done emma ! - I stumbled along near the back last year and loved it - you deffo need to do it again under better conditions (maybe next year) as the views can be spectacular
have you got any more races lined up...?
