22 year-old record ....

Hello CN - where have you been? Will you be around tomorrow?

[Welsh Harrier]

I could see the top of Snowdon before I went down to the pub - now I can't see it - there's a low bank of black cloud covering everything to the west of us - oh dear!

Mind you BBC says no rain tomorrow in North Wales - but who are they to tell us!

Look out for a big short haired fellow in a maroon and grey Macclesfield vest on the Sunday night highlights on S4C at 9 o'clock - that'll be me just behind the leaders but only if they edit about half an hour out of it!

I think I will make the effort yes . Have been rough lately ( see health thread ) but I need an outing to lift the spirits . Will watch the start and then go up onto the lower stretches, maybe the road descent to see how people are going .

Good luck everyone and hope you pace it right to the end !

Well done Roadrunner - no clag so they should have got some good footage for tomorrow night's highlights. Bit warm to start with but soon got going - lost it on the way down after the final bridge by going full stretch on some rocks but hasd some good laughs in the hospital tent afterwards.
