Moel Elio

Thanks
Tom:D

Not seen one, the route is obvious, starts up the track to Bwlch Y Groes, then breaks off to join the track to Eilio, then along the ridge to Moel Cynghorion, passing Foel Gron and Goch en route. The final descent is fun, straight down the face to join the main bridelway up maes gwm then back to the YHA via the road. Good race.

Cheers iain i dont know whether it is marked or not so il just have to take the os map down:confused:.What is the terrain like is it all runnable or rocky and steep

It wasn't obvious for some of us in the mist in 2003 :rolleyes:.

Very runnable, some short steep climbs, but all on short cropped grass, well grazed by sheep, the final descent is very steep with a few rocks around but mainly all grass. Then ends on a firm trail rocky at first then tarmac. Classic fell race.

re maps

dunno the size of the course - but multi map now do a ordinance survey view (where you can scroll round and zoom in and out)

if you have trouble printing it you can sometimes press the "print screen" button on your key board then paste the picture into word (or some such) to print (helps to have a colour printer)

pop the sheet in an plastic wallet, seal it with duct tape and bobs your dad's brother.

it is a 1pm start isn't it?

Yes, Details here:

cheers

see you there

Is it possible to pick up a map when I get there? as looks like it is a required item

Fab race, but too far away this weekend!

There's often maps available at the start of races, not sure about eilio, there's plenty of shops should you need to buy one.

well that was windy! Being shot-blasted by 50mph hail on the way up Cynghorion was a real hoot :)
Great race.
