Another year, another stabbing in Llanber!!! Great day, brilliant weather and loads of pissed up chavs around the Vic! To those of you who witnessed the fighting in Llanberis don't think that an usual weekend, loads of young chavs from other villages had arranged a fight in the village tonight that's the reason for all the police!
Just got home from a lock in, we can now hibernate until Xmas in Llanberis!!
Stephen Edwards and Jayne Lloyd, well done on organising a great day.
The last time I was there it was the same, they were turning cars over and ripping number plates off cars, throwing bottles and brawling. I knew it was a bad sign when I saw people snorting coke in the toilets, we took that as a cue to leave and we did just in time. Last time I'll bother spending anytime in Llanberis at night.Quote:

It must have been updated in the last week as vaguely remember seeing Katie Ingram's name on it for 2008 last night.Quote:

Sad news.
It was good however to see the number of marshals, MR etc on the mountain, particularly with the number of "first time" fell/mountain runners taking part. I spoke to a couple of runners who had only ever run roads and didn't really know what to expect in this race, although a lot of them probably took it steady on the way down, I think it's more likely that experienced runners descending faster take a tumble. I hope Welsh Harrier has a speedy recovery.
