Running a Welsh race is like a breath of fresh air - just like running in the 80s used to be. Love it - well worth the travel, and great company too!
OK.. that's great but these races won't last unless people turn up... do you not understand that? Eryri organise a few races to make money for the club and two of them make nothing.. I know there was talk about the feasibility of the Peris..

Rhinogs, poor fields amongst other issues, race lost..

You may like it, but when a pub agrees to host a race they want runners to turn up.. not 15 blokes, 3 old women and 2 dogs..

Got to agree with Math on weird immigrants.. the most insular people in Llanberis are a good chunk of the climbing immigrants..

Agree re follow my leader and the time bomb comment.. but you see it on here.. races seem to offer a safer option than solo running.. which is just a scary attitude...
