Can any of the forums Yaki Da's confirm that this race is as stunning as it sounds?

Danbert, the organiser is Welsh Harrier so he should know a thing or two about it ;) .
Are you there Welsh Harrier?
Why is the organiser charging an extra two pounds for unaffiliated runners?Quote:

It's organised by Denbigh Harriers who are affiliated to Welsh Athletics. I'm guessing that WA have permitted the race so you should be a member of a club connected to WA or the English/English Regional equivalent to avoid the extra 2 quid charge.
There is no requirement for any additional unattached entry fee on an entrant in an open fell race who is not a member of an affiliated club in the UKA Rules for Competition.Quote:

the directional instructions say that i should(coming from the betws y coed end) take the A543 and then the B4501 that seems to take me past Llyn Alwen.
is the start on the Llyn Bran end of the B4501 or on the mynydd poeth end?

Have you looked at the above link? It shows a map with the approximate area marked, it looks like its closer to the southern end from that. I was planning on driving around via Betws rather than around the coast, is that what you were planning?
Anyway the 3000ers people have cancelled due to the weather, so we are probably running now too.

definitely through Betws,then turn off at Cerigydridion towards llyn Brenig (not the way thats suggested on the entry form),
although could change my mind and not do it at all because ive just noticed that its on the sunday and not saturday. ...dont like sunday morning races
Enjoyed that - thanks Welsh Harrier and others for their organising. Wish i hadn't have worn studs though, that was a trail shoe race and no mistake. Ahh well, still got round uninjured and enjoyed the surreal post race yoghurt!

Yeah good race, wasn't sure on the footwear, but went road shoes as my trail shoes are knackered and was fine. Hope this race becomes an annual event as it was a great fast route. Weather was perfect too. Nice to mix the trails with the fells as they are great for your speed work. Only thing they need to get for next year: http://www.towler-staines.co.uk/midge-eater.htm :-)
They were savage at the end.
well done Welsh Harrier,i enjoyed that,good race.
a very fast race route, i thought that it would take me just under 50mins to get round but i was a lot faster.nice area too think ill do the Brenig race in oct, although i`m not looking forward to being eaten alive after the race (bloody midges)
Will the results be posted online by the way? and where?
I'm a bit sad and like to analyse them.
Cheers
Iain
Here you go Iain;

Struth, didn't realise i was that far up (24th), i thought i would have been lucky to get in the top half! Probably not the strongest field out though. Am covered in midge bites today though...perhaps the yoghurt was to smear on them?
Not too sure if midges like to be smeared in yoghurt. You might just make them angry.Quote:
