It would be really good to meet up with you guys to do some recees.

Maybe March 27 or 28 if you're (snow-) free? Plan is Sec 4b and 5 on Sat, Sec 1 (Cadair) and 1st part of 2 Sat night; t.b.c. on Sunday

Have a great weekend everyone, most envious of you all. Will be thinking of you Saturday night (in the rain, hail, thunder, sleet, snow) . Hope to be back soon, have a good one.

I have PM'd molehill with my mobile number, if you want to give me a call.
If your doing Cader then I take it youll be starting from Talyllyn pass??

Sec4b/5 recce went according to plan, completed in 7 1/2 hours
Highlights for me were the sneaky forest cut-throughs - magical hidden paths that made you feel like you were in fairy tale - right down to the bog-monster that nearly ate me!
Rob was looking very strong/smooth, and I'd deffo get your money on a successful attempt
which, after experiencing the near-pathlessness of the route, I now understand will be a FANTASTIC achievement

conditions were looking good for the night-recce of the Caders - no doubt Rob will report in at some point...

Cader section by moonlight was magical. We were at least 30 mins adrift on Yiannis's times though . It was his first section and we'd done 7h earlier in the day, but we were going pretty well and I have absolutely no idea how he ran that fast in the dark (he was also in moonlight IIRC).

Neil and I liked Sec 4b so much we did it again the next day . We nailed the Gillie high-level variation - excellent. Details later...

Yes we did. Sorry, only just seen your posts; we were offline (and on hill ) Sat a.m.

Carwyn must have enjoyed the night run he wants to do PB Snowdon leg in the dark now

I'll be doing sec 5 on Friday with hopefully no snow or cloud
