    Re: Welsh Classic -1st,2nd May

    BW: Ali started at Nantmor at around 6pm on Friday so the cars you saw were the support team.

    Iain: In the Capel to Nantmor section the weather got quite nasty at times, strong wind and showers but ok in between. We had no snow but there was a brief hailstorm when we were on the road to Nantmor. Ali was battling on regardless. Not sure yet of the actual time but I think it might be just under 23 hours.

    Great effort Ali, congratulations.

    38 minutes with cag off; sounds like my BG day and my 2,500s attempt day.

    What's next, after a suitable rest.

    well done Ali! a good effort

    Me and another dark peaker had scheduled an attempt starting at Bwlchgwernog at 6pm on Friday too. But we cancelled it due to the forecast.

    we went out on the Glyders and Carnedds on friday instead, it was fairly nasty up there. 20 meters visability rain and gusts of wind...

    we managed two legs just about on schedule but were glad to head back to the van after that!

    Well done Ali

    Sounds like we caught similar conditions in the Lakes, so much for May, its been warmer in January

    Sorry I missed this one, when you go for the Ramsay give me plenty of time (don't even think about it)
