Did it last year but am up in Skye this weekend so I'm going to have to give it a miss. Shame as it was great fun!
Great race, really enjoyed it, thanks to the organisers. Little climbs but nasty, I seemed to be doing a lot of walking! Hands up all those with scratches from the bushes on the way down!
Word made it over to The Excalibur that there were some fantastic female results today.
Great day, I thought I'd got fitter over the winter until I did this race
There were a few people taking pictures around the course, anyone know if they're on the web anywhere yet?
Great race yesterday. The pace up front was quite high.
I won the race in 2010 in 51:17 and won it last year in 52:07 (having missed the stile on the foot of Gamelin on the descent) but only lost a handfull of seconds!! But I was 4th yesterday with 49:11!!!!!! and only 40 seconds seperating the top 4, and the runners that made the top 10 werent hanging round either.
It really makes a difference to your time when your chasing a fast leader.
The photos are up on my wife's site www.clicclic.co.uk (she does a lot with Al Tye of fell running pictures) they were taken as you entered the tarmac descent off the track.
Great photos, must remember to smile next time....
thanks

Some information here and I'm going to have to upload my birth certificate otherwise they'll claim that bottle of wine back from me!
(Nice photos from Esyllt!)
Results are up on the Tattenhall & WFRA sites.
Ifan, can you remember what the conditions were like in '10 & '11? It was pretty much perfect for running on Saturday, I'm sure that coupled with a good quality field this would help lead to excellent times. I last raced it in '07 & it was proper hot - vests off from the start - there are few hotter places than the Llantysilio Motorway.
Your wife's photos are great.
