Moel-y-Gamelin

[Welsh Harrier]

Just had a look at the brief course description given by FellRunner on the other thread - am I right in thinking the course takes a straight course over the ridge to Moel Morfydd, crossing the road somewhere near Bwlch Groes, a loop out to the W end of Llantysilio Mountain,then re-cross the minor road and a traverse along the northern slopes before heading SE over Moel y Gamelin again and back to the Ponderosa?

I am hoping to run at this year's event and not last year's, obviously!

Bit of a bu££er because our club race takes place at the same time - seeing as I'm now a UKAA Grade 1/2/3 A/B/C race official since I was one of only 3 in North Wales who filled in this funny WAA form I'd better give it a miss and be at The Fairy Freckled Cow Trail race http://www.denbighharriers.com/index2.htm

Still it's a scenic route just right for road runners who just might be on the verge of converting to off road stuff.

That might suit me but i'm up for Moel-y-Gamelin as it's a club counter for us so i'll have an attempt at that. Hope the race goes well Martin. Did you get a 10k run in the States?

Anyone got a race route for this? weather permitting and Tracey's okay may come along for photos? A gmap or alternative would be good.

might do this, bit short notice so don't think I can get a map, anyone got an electronic map of the route?

many thanks

Gaz

What with that description & the description for Hotfoot up Famau, I used to be quite a nice fellrunner didn't I? Not like the mean, curmudgeonly muppet hating elitist I now am .

Anyway, I've found a black & white photocopy of the route. If anyone wants me to scan & send a copy drop me a PM with your email.

There you go I'm all nice, warm & cuddly again.

Cheers fellrunner, I've pm'd you, much apprciated. Mps of that area are hard to come by at short notice in Rochdale

Did you run today Gaz? Enjoyed that course, not sure of winners though as prizes were given out as people finished.

Long story Harrymoon, including Bar-b-que, marshmellows by fire light, too many Boddingtons (thanks Widdy) and a power cut meant alarm didnt go off and I didnt wake up in time to get to race. Only race I had convinced the family to come and watch apart from cader idris (because Mrs. Gaz like the look of the Ponderosa cafe) and we all slept in; never happened in the Gaz household before but there you go. Many thanks fellrunner for the map, unfortunately I didnt need it!

Many thanks

Gaz
