A few runners came on the scene later, like myself in early 90s. I was even in the prizes there with a top 3 and V40s - but a certain kid called Tim Davies came on the scene and spoilt everything for us mere mortals by knocking us oldies off the leader board!
I expect there were more races like this through rural Wales in those days, but I doubt many survive now.
