Just spoke to the organiser and around 120 entries (postal).
Let's hope its good weather (depending on what good weather is!)
Bad news, water supply been cut off in Brithdir, due to invasion of Eryri lads!!! hahaha!!
The course is in good nick around the back of Llyn Gwernan so not bad at all, mountain upper half has got rougher though, but nothing a seasoned fell runner should worry about :-)
Where are you staying Dyl?
Are you staying Saturday night? you can join me for a long run on Sunday then ;-)
Had really been looking forward to this but will now have to miss with injury :-(
Good look everyone - enjoy it and finish with a smile :-)
Roclites or Mudclaws ? I suppose I'm asking how much tarmac really.
There's approx 3 mile road, 2 mile trail (Mud, roots footpath) and 5.5 mile open fell, saying that the lower half is stone pitched/steps man made paths but the top half is mostly rough loose scree. If wet the whole mountain/fell is very slippery and the trail section can be tricky with roots.
But at the end of the day I've done it twice now 2009 (hot and bone dry) and 2010 in wet conditions both ocassions with Mudclaws.
If it's wet then would opt for fell shoes, but like Snowdon, if dry then cant see much wrong with Road shoes or trail shoes but would avoid shoes that put your feet high off the ground or it'll be ankle twisting time!!
It's pissing down here now, think it's forcasted showers on saturday to so the ground is wet now. Wont dry out much now so fell shoes it is I think.
Ye,I`ve been thinking about what to wear for this one too.I`m between my Salomon speed cross 2 or Addidas Kanadia TR2.
Great race well organised and the weather held! That road section at the end is a killer!!!!
Ie,the weather was great and the race too.
chose to wear road shoes in the end..was ok,had no trouble at all.
Who won? Strong field?
Not sure who win but Meirionydd, Eryri & a CVFR runner were top 4 when they past me. The course record was nearly broken also, a good turnout.
