Had a lovely amble in my local hills this weekend. Got chatting to a chap who came running past with alpine poles. Got chatting to him as we surveyed the view. He told me was in training for the Snowdonia Ultramarathon...he did not know route yet but had a mate up there who did. Anyhow, we bade each other farewell and good luck.
Just checked the website now. They want £140 for the pleasure of taking part.

The Welsh 1000m race is £20.

Why do people put up with this profiteering??
