A group of us run from Cilcain first Sunday in January every year. May see you there.
Lower car park was an ice rink yesterday (28/12/09) morning - "road closed" sign was up at start of road by caravan site, presumably to stop fools like me trying to go up there. Loggerheads, lower down, was fine though.
Bloody hell its a small world ! I run with the same club as him.Should be a good laugh this sunday.My 1st race was Clwydian Hills this year its nice round there.
Ran from cilcain along to NO4 reservoir then up tp pass , along ridge to top of moel fammau then down direct route back to cilcain Very windy and snowing at the time , icy on the lower tracks (up to reservoir) soft snow not too deep on the ridge (wind probably blew it off), mayhave been more snow since ( was snowing wed in Mold).
Care needed on descent as some of the paths have snow over ice due to thaw running down the tracks then freezing. My lad ended up on his bum a couple of times on ice patches. Ok with care, or spikes. Really enjoyed run and there were a dozen people on the top. Are they all mad???
The snow must have all blown over to our side. I was struggling through 4 foot drifts yesterday just below the ridge on the west side.
Is tomorrow still on ? Alan said to park just out of Cilcain in a layby.What if its not pos to get up it ?
