Excalibur Off-Road Marathon

Well, you've now got a lot more time. It's going to announced today that it's been posponed due to adverse weather forecast. Rangers and NEWSAR have said it's not worth the risk. Organisers will be looking at a new date based around other FRA / WFRA fixtures, tree felling timetable etc.

*********CANCELLED******* , due to weather warnings of heavy snow, minus temps and high winds. Check out their facebook site. http://www.facebook.com/ExcaliburMarathon?fref=ts

Ah well, hopefully they'll find a date and all your hard work won't go to waste Nigel. It's rotten having to cancel an event, particularly a fundraiser.

£36 hotel fee down the drain (non-refundable).:angry: Have to find something else to do now.

You could keep an eye on this http://run-meirionnydd.co.uk/. Its not too far from the Clwyds. It will get the same snow and the organisers have posted a message saying they're going to let people know tomorow if its cancelled. The organiser might be less worried about it, as i don't think its dependent on consulting with the council /national park etc. - though it is a severe (met office amber) warning. Worth checking out tomorrow anyway?

It's bitten the dust as well!

Thanks for the suggestions. :) The hotel has now allowed me to change the date of my booking; I'll have a trot around the Excalibur course Sat 20th now (or if I'm lucky they'll rearrange it for that date). As for this weekend, I'll recce the Cray to Park Rash section of the Fellsman depending upon the state of the roads.

A bit short notice but if anyone fancies joining me for a reccie I'm planning to head over there this afternoon to plod round the lower circuit - setting off from Moel Fammau lower car park around 1.15pm
cheers
