If they are that concerned.. delay the start by an hour.. run in better weather..

Aye, I've always found it easy making a call on such decisions when being located more than 3500 miles away from that spot.

Forescast changed, it was still torrential rain at 1100hrs at the Baywatch 10k so who know's how it was on the Carneddau.

Quite a few came over to do Baywatch after finding out the Carneddau had been dropped, apparently in place they ran on that minor road from Aber - TalyBont, past Hendre Hall, Llanllechid, Bethesda and along the cycle track to Ogwen!!!....shame if I'd have know that would've done it!
