Eh? It's a WFRA Welsh Champs, WFRA North Wales Series counter. You can enter these champs without being resident in Wales.

I'm doing Garn too. Looks a classic burst up hill, steep descent, small track at the end.

Hope it gets a good turnout despite the Borrowdale race and most Brit champs categories almost decided.

im talking about juniors. What is the course like underfoot

[IainR]

Ah Ok.

Course is grassy. Not much rock really, steep climb up, very steep, there's a pathish, but any line up is up really, then a small scree/boulder patch higher up as the angle eases, then back on yourself but a different descent line, the descent is great, not much rock at all, maybe some at the top, then steep grass to the track, then flatish track back in.

Very short race distance wise but packs a lot in. Good old straight up straight down really.

The summit is a stunning view point (not that we'll notice in the race), worth going up afterwards if the weathers good. The ridge running from the summit out to the other peaks on the Nantlle ridge is stunning, probably one of the most stunning ridge runs in snowdonia.
