    Paddy Buckley 21/22 May Help!

    I am attempting the PBR commencing Nantmor at 6pm on friday 21st May or if bad waether I might delay until 11am next day (start Capel)and could do with some help.

    Unfortunately two of my support team are now injured and its looking unlikely that they will now be able to do leg one as planned or leg 3 and 4.

    Although i might be able to move some of my other support around it meand at present being short on at least one leg. I am happy to do leg one alone but would rather notand am sure I have the night time stretch covered. but after that its a question of stretching help thinly or if anyone can or would help i'd be so grateful. I have good roadside support but its the legs or even people to meet me at stratefic points thats beginning to fall apart abit now.I'd be more than happy to help ion somebody's PB or BGR on last weekend of june or early July

    regards

    Simon

    Re: Paddy Buckley 21/22 May He

    Hi Simon. Would love to help as i'm planning on giving it a go beginning of June. Only trouble is, i'm supporting Rob Woodhall on his Meirionedd round on the 4th of May, but his backup weekend if weather is nasty is for that weekend of the 21/22. If he does go on the 1st date, then i'll be there. Otherwise, no. Sorry i can't be more definate.

    I'm up there again on the 17/18th April and again on the 1stMay supporting someone else. Can't get enough of the place. Reccied it all last week in that lovely weather we had!!!!!

    Hi Simon just bumping this up for you.

    I'm also helping Rob on the Meiri on that date and if he doesn't need it I'll be helping on a BG instead.

    Good luck

    Hi Simon,

    I'm fairly new to fell running, (ex track & road runner) but I'm helping a friend who is also doing a Paddy Buckley Round in the 1st week of June ( I'm doing a couple of legs). So at present I haven't got anything booked you weekend attempt; so I'm more than happy to give you a hand. I am starting to do reccies as of this week with my friend (who already has a BG under his belt).
    I wouldnt say I'm a super fit chap but many moons ago I used to run for Eryri Harriers as I lived in Bangor for 4 years so i have a rough idea of what to expect. So anyway more than happy to help if you need it.
    I've also uploaded a just for fun video diary that I've posted on youtube. I'll be adding a few more soon and will include film of our reccies. If you enter Paddy Buckley Round and click on Roachesrun, thats me moaning about everything ha.

    Keep on running,

    Yes! Quite a bit to do in the preseli's. I tend to go over towards the coast at Newport(Pembs) then back a slightly different way. Let me know when exactly you're down, and i might be able to meet up with you or a run.
