    Re: Snowdon

    Is there anyone out there still hoping to get an entry into this year Snowdon race? I am injured (just had operation to both feet) and will therefore not be running and would be happy to assist anyone in transferring my entry (providing the organisers are also happy with this).

    Re: Snowdon

    I've done Snowdon once before, in 2008, when I was a lot less fit, and the weather was hot/humid - I really suffered and don't think I appreciated it properly

    decided to enter again this year just cos I wanted to get my "revenge" on the course

    but now find myself genuinely looking forward to it :thumbup:

    look out for my fluo-green Fell Ponies vest if you're likely to clock somewhere in the range 1:50-2:00

    Re: Snowdon

    Am tempted to go up on Saturday to look at that rock that bit me 2 years ago. The weather looks as if it'll be good so should be millions of tourists up there getting in the way. Found a short video clip of the great John Lenihan, winner in 1989, reaching the summit - not so many folk around then and look at the way they crossed the railway line just before the train came up. It's about a minute into the video here:

    Hmmh - facinating clip......looked a hot day aswell, as you said these days there's millions of people on the 'outdoor zoo' on days where the weather is good. Interestingly I was watching the race video from 1991 the other eve - again very few people en-route and the track is so much better - horrendous weather up top that year mind you.
