Nice one mate,see you there! hope it`s as hard as ras y moelwyn(im a glutton for punishment) :P

The Carneddau is going to be considerablly tougher tham Moelwyn!!!!
Moelwyn comes in at 8.5mile and 2500ft and you did it in 1:51. Carneddau weighs in at 9mile 4200ft.

To put it in perspective Richard Roberts (extremely expirienced and fit Eryri Harrier/welsh int) runs Moelwyn in 1:18 then Carneddau in 1:40+ so a runner of his calibre can add on 20mins on for Carneddau.

You need to be prepared to be out there for at least 2:15 - 2-20(ish). And if the fog is down are you able to Nav your way around???
It's one of the toughest races in the calender.
Hopefully I'll be there :-)

It's the toughest AM in the calendar, more so than the long mynd. I love this race despite the fact it always wipes me out in considerably more than 1:40!

It;s a serious run out, not one to underestimate. Treat it as you would an AL i would say.

JWM!

I'll tell you all about it when I see you next! On a nice day it's a great race but on a claggy wet day - well................!

See you soon!
